[color:"orange"]About nature and battle magic : [/color] I am a battlemage at the game I am playing at the moment. And I find that battle magic is really powerful. But I have in my team that mage you have rescued from crystal caves, Merik. He is specialist in nature magic. Not very powerful but good enough at the point you are at the moment. Buy a good healling natute spell for that mage. He will heal all the team members during the battle. I find this very useful because healing portions sometimes run off and you have to walk so much in order to buy some more. Make sure that he has enough healling portions in his inventory so he can stay alive during the hard battles. Generally in this game I find battle magic very nice. If you want though you could develop equally battle and nature magic for your char. It would be an interesting combination. My style of playing don´t follow that path though. I prefer to be specialist in one thing and try to reach perfection.
[color:"orange"] Buy tip1 : [/color] Very often you go to buy some things and you see that there are plenty of them that your team can not use. Make smart buys. Buy things that are better even if your team can´t wear them. Pretty soon you will be able to use them. Keep them stashed in your pack mule. So when your char. will be ready to use them then you don´t have to run back to the shops for better stuf. There are also some pretty good staff you can collect from killing monsters. Beware though. The brown items have powers but they usually take power too from you. For eg. you have some brown boots that add to strength but they cut off dexterity.
[color:"orange"] Buy tip2 : [/color] Buy spell books for every member of your team even if they are not mages. Gather the spells you find from battles and they are doubles or you don´t need in those spell books. Then go and sell them. You will earn much money. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
