2. what's better - 1h or 2h?

1. spells are the best dont even try to learn 1h, 2h, bow or crossbow because you need to much LP
2. 1h hand makes lesser damage than 2h but is much faster
till you make one hit with 2h you make 3-4 hits with 1h
3. must have spells are:
fireball, greater fireball, ice wave, lightning stroke (really cool animation), fear (really cool against dragons), fire rain (nice spell to kill hordes of monsters), crush undeads (dont know if its called so), breath of death, army of darkness, wave of death (or so called widespread death the coolest best of all spells), shrink monster (have you ever seen a dragon smaller than you  or a troll )

If you want to be a warrior mage choose only one melee weapon and one range weapon and train untill 30 %. This is quite sufficient to use these weapon efficiently. Make sure, to get all the weapon related training before you become a novice because as a novice (and as a mage) costs for learning weapon skills and increasing dexterity and strength double. Learn alchemy to increase dexterity (and) or strength and mana level.

As a magician u use runestones not spell scrolls.  And wave of death is most certainly the coolest, but u can only make that rune in chapter 5/6.

ive read thru 20 pages of this forum and found a lot of valuable gameplay information - as a mage, i think i'll be more like necromancer in d2 summoning skeleton minions to fight instead of me hassling all the actions. Now all im in chapter one, level 14, and jus findin myself all the goblin berries and king sorrels' as much as possible, and hope to boost myself up like hell in chapter 2 when the empty flasks are available. Still, i have doubts about the spells should i get - seeing that the blank runes are *very* rare and limitted in the game..
please - any advice on the spells should i get?
thank you |

Well, I alway chose the 1 or 2 most powerfull spells from each circle. Just look in the manual which spell does the most damage and uses the least mana. And get them. Also, everytime a new chapter starts retun to the monastery to learn the new circle and its spell runes. Then you will always be able to use the most powerful spells at the beginnung of each chapter.
