COMBAT
<br /><br />
Dereth can be a dangerous place--you must learn to defend yourself!
<br /><br />
First, prepare for battle. Click on the backpack icon to open your Inventory Panel. Drag a weapon from your inventory to the weapon slot, marked with an axe. You can also drag ammunition to the ammo slot, marked with arrows.
<br /><br />
Click on the dove icon to enter Combat Mode, which will display the Combat  Bar.
<br /><br />
(Click on the green arrow to read more!)

----

Select a target by clicking on it or its dot on the compass.
<br /><br />
Finally, click on the attack height to begin your attack. To hit low targets, you must hit low. To hit hovering targets, you must attack high.
<br /><br />
The three bars at the top of the screen show your Health, Stamina, and Mana. 
<br /><br />
If you run out of stamina, your attacks will be weak. If you run out of health, you will 
die!
<br /><br />
(Click on the green arrow to read more!)

----

Your target's health is displayed below its name in the bottom-right corner of the screen. When your target runs out of health, it will die. Double-click on its corpse to check for loot!
<br /><br /><br /><br />
SPELLCASTING
<br /><br />
If you are trained in any form of magic, you must know how to cast spells.
<br /><br />
To see what spells you have, click the wand icon to open your spellbook.
<br /><br />
(Click on the green arrow to read more!)
----

To see what a spell does, appraise it with the magnifying glass, or right-click on it.
<br /><br />
To cast a spell, go to the Inventory Panel and drag your wand to the weapons slot.
<br /><br />
Click the dove icon to display the Spellcasting Bar.
<br /><br />
Select a spell from the Spellcasting Bar, select your target, then click the Cast button. Also, try casting spells on yourself!
<br /><br />
(Click on the green arrow to read more!)

----

Watch the blue mana bar at the top of the screen. If it runs out, you can't cast spells.
<br /><br />
Casting spells requires components--scarabs, herbs, and other objects. If these components are consumed through spellcasting, you can buy new ones in town.
<br /><br />
Now those are the basics of combat and spellcasting -- go out and give it a try!
