Why then is there a limit to how many spells a mage can use? He's only using his primary attack like the Sword or bowman.

This leads to mages becoming back up archers in combat half way through a fight. Don't understand it.

Loving the game inspite of above. wink


It part of the system, as has been said. The other reason is that spell are incredibly more powerful than arrow or sword swing at highter level. And your mage CAN use sling or quarterstaff infinitly, as well, magic isn't his only ressource.
