Do you have to lose HP when you cast spells ? or are you choosing to do that?

I dont believe the acid attack 1 takes your hp when you cast it.. maybe im wrong, but i havent noticed that. Do later spells force you to choose to lose hp to cast them?

Also I am prety sure I boosted my hp through the crafting trainers too? Again i'm probably wrong hehe

If you do indeed have to level fight to have enough hp to survive thats a tad unfair, afterall mages shouldnt have to mellee. Aso I agree mages should be able to heal themselves too, although maybe that would be overpowering.

On the flipside, mages usually have very low hp in mmo's but this game turns things on a head if the spells cause you to lose hp as you cast them.

I guess i'm glad I want to be a hybrid

Its upto you how decide to credit your spells.

Be it HP, SAP, Range or Time or a mixture of them all.
You could use range and time stanza's by themselves and you won't lose any hp/sap. Albeit, you will have very close range spells that take a long time to cast!!

Obviously if you have more sap than HP, you would balance the amount of credit for each particular area, that way you don't completely deplete your hp/sap levels.

I have 2/3 Sap and 1/3 Hp credits in all my spells. But I could easily change this to suit my needs.

Sounds fair to me. But stats should be raiseable to some extent without needing to level mellee skills in my humble opinion.

Though this is about the most refreshing and different game system ive played so far so if it never changed I wouldnt complain for some time.

I enjoy mindless pulling mobs, harvesting and crafting in this much much more than other games with tons of quests, griffin rides and the usual yuk fantasy I have been used to in other games for so long

I guess later on ill be jaded and start to see faults all over the place or complain more about the bugs already there, but for the time being the way the game seems to work for me at least is perfect
