ow can I gain source points? i thougt I could get them during a fight? But somehow I only found one place where ther is silver *water* on the ground and that gave me source points. But only after a fight started. So how can I get additional source points?
thx in advance

There's more standing Source water in two other places. In one place the enemies seem to ignore it, so you can get it after the fight ends, and in another place there's no enemies around.

The other way to gain Source points is to find an object which grants you Source Vampirism.

When you find one those source pools that Stabbey mentioned -- bless yourself or the pool to get the most of it.

Am I missing something? Why would I want to take up 3 memory slots for an skill that requires use of a source point that is single use and very difficult to replenish without some kind of special ability like Vampirism?

Unless the skill killed all of the enemies on the maps or gave temporary invulnerability or something, it would hardly be worth it. Is the idea just to swap it out of your deck once you use the incredibly rare source point?

Thanky for the answers!
I didn´t know about vampirism. But that only works if your collar is off right? and with me it does not work on all foes....

Yea i am expirimenting with it. It not only uses source points but also Aktion point, which is not good in my opinion...

Thx again:)

It seems both the helmet and the wands are limited use, correct? The wand has a fixed number of charges (maybe it was 9?) and the helmet says unlimited use, but after like 6 uses a demon appeared, and took the helmet. I killed the demon, got the helmet back as loot, but it no longer offers source vampirism, but sackles of pain. I don't want to use the wand to get source points, because I want to preserve that for the shriekers. So is there any other way obtaining source points than finding source surfaces?

Helm spawns a demon and gives you +1 Leadership reversing the -1 Leadership too. And wand just dies. ;(

Other sources of Source: consume them soul jars!

I think that unlimited charges of source vampirism on the helmet would have been pretty bad, so I like it this way. I guess that later on the game there will be other limiter tools to get source points. My only criticism is that the helmet was suggesting that it has unlimited charges, so I just started using it massively, so it was misleading.

The helmet of Braccus Rex has no limits I think.

You can only use the helm to get a Source point 5 times.

i really don't like that source point idea , the problem here is that in the first chapter we played we don't really need those strong spells , i finished one play through with the whole party muted except for my main hero Efan who was a warrior , so it was useless to get un-muted anyway . but what about late game ? i believe it will be really annoying trying to use powerful spells to find out that you lack the source points to do it ..
