Thanks a bunch, man. Obviously, casting the flamestrike spell with only 1 spell point would have been a problem. The attributes Str, Dex, Ego, and Int are used when in combat to determine your effectiveness and resistance to both spells and weapons. As you gain levels, these, too, will go up. Before you begin play, you must choose your element.
Every element has certain strengths and weaknesses.
Earth is more vulnerable to spells, and Earth magicians gain magical attributes slower than other elements. Air - Air is nearly the exact opposite of Earth, gaining strength quickly in both attack and defense with spells, but slowly with physical weapons. Fire - Fire is most at home attacking, whether with spells or physical weapons. When it comes to defense, however, Fire is at a disadvantage. Water - Water is, as could be expected, the opposite of Fire.
