Behaviorally: This change makes it so that Enter will never cancel a dialog, unless that dialog only contains info to be read. Escape will never unpredictably be treated as Enter. And some dialogs without Escape to cancel, now can be canceled with Escape. A lot of this just refactors dialogs to define the cancel button at the top, not as a hotkey on a cancel button deep in the XML. I think this makes enter/escape behavior in dialogxml files more legible at a glance.

There are two sorts of magic spells:
|
|
mage spells and priest spells.
|
|
There are 62 spells of each type,
|
|
each with a level from one to seven.
|
|

<text top='52' left='60' width='420' height='28'>
|
|
You can only cast mage (or priest) spells of a level as high as your Mage (or Priest) Spells skill.
|
|
There are two ways to cast a spell:

|
|
Mage spells cannot be cast by someone wearing bulky armor
|
|
(although armor can be put on after you're through casting spells).
|

|
|
WARNING: Spells cast by a PC with 1, 2 or 3 intelligence will be very weak!

<text top='235' left='60' width='438' height='41'>
|
|
You start automatically knowing most spells up to level 3.
|
|
Other spells you have to track down.
|
|
Some are known by sages who can teach them to you (for a price).
|
|
Others must be found in dungeons and ruins.

|
<text top='193' left='60' width='436' height='41'>
|
|
When you decide to cast a spell,
|
|
you will be a given a list of spells with green lights
|
|
next to the spells you are currently able to cast
|
|
(and not those that you are, say, too low a level to cast).

|
|
Note that spell effects are cumulative.
|
|
Two poison spells do more than twice the damage of one poison spell.
|
|
If a fear spell doesn't work, the next one will be more likely to.
|
|
Casting 3 bless spells on a PC will make them a powerhouse.
