A
t Your Command
The following information describes the primary
items that appear in your view. We are unable,
apprentice, to describe every possible option
but have focused on those you will encounter most often.
Health Bar
The red bar in the upper-left portion of your
view is the Health bar. Each time you receive a
hit from an enemy, it impacts your health. Replenish your health
by eating some food or drinking a potion.
Mana Bar
The blue bar in the upper-left portion of your
view is the Mana bar. Mana depletes when you
use magical powers of the Will. It replenishes with time, but
returns more quickly when you drink blue potions.
Combat Multiplier
The Combat Multiplier indicates how much
Experience you gain when you infl ict blows upon
your enemies. The higher the number, the more Experience points
gained when you absorb Experience Orbs left in the wake of their
deaths. For this reason, it is prudent to wait until you have your
way with an entire group of enemies before absorbing the
Experience Orbs.
