<h1>Miscellaneous</h1>
<h2>Material Wealth</h2>
<p>There are three sorts of possessions you can come across:</p>
<p>Gold: Well, this isn’t always literal chunks of gold. It’s gold nuggets or silver coins or trade goods or anything else you can give people to get stuff. You start with a small amount, and can get more.</p>

<p>Food: Preserved giant lizard steaks, dried mushrooms, yummy, tangy lichens, and all the other rich bounty of Exile. Every once in a while you will eat some of it, one unit for each active PC. Not having enough food results in starvation, damage, and bad things.</p>
<p>Items: Each PC can carry 24 objects, such as armor, helmets, tools, weapons, etc. You can do various things with these items. These are described in Chapter 4.</p>
<p>You can only carry so much weight. The amount of bulk you can carry depends on your strength. Armor is very heavy, while potions and scrolls aren’t.</p>
<p>You can only carry so much weight. The amount of bulk you can carry depends on your strength. Armor is very heavy, while potions and scrolls aren't.</p>
<p>When equipping items, you only have two hands, and some weapons take up both of them. You can only wear two rings, and one necklace (too many magic items interfere with each other in bizarre ways). Beware. When you equip a cursed item, you will need to find a healer to take the curse off.</p>
<h2>Magic</h2>
<p>There are seven levels of spells. Your characters begin the game knowing most spells up to third level. They can cast a mage spell of a given level if they have enough spell points, and Mage Spells skill of that level (and the same goes for priest spells). Upon casting, the character loses the spell points, and something neat happens.</p>
<p>Spell effects are cumulative, and build up quickly. For example, if you bless a character twice, the effect will be much more than twice the effect of one bless. When you poison a monster twice, it will do well over twice the damage the first spell would have caused. If one fear spell doesn’t make a monster flee, the next one will have a much better chance of working. Casting two light spells makes the light last twice as long.</p>

<p>Mage spells require great delicacy of movement to cast. For this reason, they cannot be cast when when armor with total encumbrance of more than 1 is being worn. High defense skill can sometimes offset this effect, but it never will when any single item has an encumbrance value of more than 2.</p>
<p>Mage Spells and Encumbrance:If you are wearing armor with a total encumbrance of greater than one, you cannot cast mage spells. However, high defense skill can counteract this. If your armor isn’t too bulky, sometimes defense skill will enable you to cast spells (though spells never, ever work when any single item has an encumbrance value greater than 2). If you fail, however, you lose your turn.</p>

<p>Priest spells, consisting mainly of prayers shouted very loudly, do not have this limitation.</p>
<p>Multiple Target Spells:Some spells, such as the Arrow spells, have more than one target. When you cast such a spell, click on each target. Click on a target again to untarget it. Should you decide to cast the spell without using all your targets, hit space.</p>
<p>Magical barriers:Some spells create a two space wide barrier of some sort of magical wall. You can rotate this before placing it. Do so by hitting space.</p>

<p>Fire and Force Barriers:<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>These barriers last until they are dispelled. The former damages anyone entering, and the latter prevents anyone from entering at all.</p>
<h2>Summoned Monsters</h2>
<p>Both you and your foes can magically bring forth creatures to aid you. These summoned monsters fight for a short time, and then disappear. If killed, they leave no treasure.</p>
<p>The most (potentially) powerful summoning spells are Capture Soul and Simulacrum. Casting Capture Soul on a monster stores a copy of it in your party’s mind. Later, you can cast Simulacrum to bring a copy of the monster forth. Collect copies of the most powerful monsters and bring them to your aid! You can only remember at most 4 monsters.</p>

<p>Beware - when you Capture Soul a monster, its copy is stored in a random slot (out of the 4 available). It may copy over a monster you already have.</p>
