Thanks for the info guys... i'm sure that the game will be much more enjoyable now that I don't have to spend most of it looking for a place to sleep in order to recharge my mana. This is actually one of the coolest RPG's that i've played in a long time (my all time favorite being Ultima VII), although I did get a little bored during the couple of hours I spent clearing out the lower dungeons of the castle fighting the liches and skeletons. Yeah, that got a little repetitive after awhile. Other than that, it's been a great game.
Thanks again for the help.
