Post that section of asm here.

xor eax,eax
jmp returnhere
originalcode:
mov [ecx],ax
xor eax,eax
exit:
jmp returnhere
"MSVBVM60.DLL"+F5F52:
jmp newmem
returnhere:
I'm clueless, how can I make it know what the value of 'byte' says? Int won't work so.. Or am I doing this all wrong? This method worked in another game that uses shared health...

You can use byte ptr before a memory access to specify the data you're accessing is 1 byte long:
| Code: | | cmp byte ptr[ecx-1],0 |
Regardless, that won't work. Health and mana are stored as words (2-byte) right next to each other- health before mana. Since health is around 1000, the byte representation of that would be E8 03. See the problem yet? If your health ever drops below 256 (00 01), byte ptr[ecx-1] will be 00 when mana is written to, meaning you can't use that to distinguish between health and mana.
If you want a hint, set a breakpoint at that instruction instead and see where it returns to (or use break and trace).

Haha, nope! I must say thanks man 
cmp byte ptr[ecx-1],0 worked!
I now have infinite health and any other instruction that accesses that address will act normal such as magic 
But I do have a question, how come cmp [ecx-1],0 doesn't work but byte ptr does? I can see that byte ptr uses byte in the instruction which makes it more logical but it still leaves me a bit confused because shouldn't they both techinacally do the same thing? same with (int)0

Perhaps I should clarify: that won't work all the time. Set your health to 100 and you'll see changing your mana will set your health to 999.
To answer your question, the computer is not magic. It does not know what you want the value "0" to be: is it 1 byte long? 2 bytes long? 4? 8? This information is usually implied by the size of the memory region you're accessing. In this specific case, there are two addressing modes of the cmp instruction (reference) that could be used: cmp r/m32,imm8 and cmp r/m8, imm8. I suppose it could use cmp r/m32,imm32 as well, but that wouldn't be optimized.

Ah, thanks man!
The value I set it to '999' won't actually set it that much, I know how to fix that but it was just as a quick test when I was writing the code for my first time. It can be set to '0' too all it does it freeze your HP so it won't go down, resulting in "infinite health" and I've tested a lot of times, even when the health is randomized such as 40, 90, 20 ,10, 2, the code always works. I used dissect data structures to find out what the value -1 is. I've seen others make cheats that way too. 0 = Health () 2 = Magic and if you plus that address by 1 you'll get the actual value. It doesn't matter what the value is, they will always either be 1 or 2 from what I've gathered throughout this process. Keep in mind I'm still learning about reverse engineering  Thanks though, I'll look into that page about compares. This is quite interesting
Edit: Nope, I've tested all kind of things. It always works and if I compare it with 2 it'll make me loose health but lock the magic. Like I said, whatever the value is, It'll be 0 or 2, depending on what runs, health or magic.

| I might not be able to hack inventories and stuff, but I'll try to do most of it. I'll report back with a cheat table later (Health and mana, cracked so far)
