The 8 Magic Orbs

Each orb contains its own field of magic. They can be used as great weapons or

as powerful defences, depending on the individual orb.

The number, bottom right, indicates the current level of the Magic Orb. Each one

has 3 levels of strength. When first collected it is on level one and the more it is

used the quicker it becomes more powerful.

Once the orb has been upgraded to a higher level you can change to lower levels

by using the keys F1 (level 1), F2 (level 2) and F3 (level 3).

How to use magic

Magic can be used in two ways. As ranged magic, fired from the caster’s hand

towards a target or as area magic cast in the immediate vicinity around the hero.

Ranged magic - hold down the Control key (mouse pointer changes to a hand),

move the mouse pointer over an enemy so that the hand glows red and click with

the left mouse button to cast.

Area magic - hold down the Control key, move the mouse pointer over the caster

so that the hand glows green and click with the left mouse button to cast.

Once a spell has been cast, magic energy slowly recharges. Collecting the blue

orbs that are dropped by certain enemies replenishes this energy.

Hand Held Weapons – The range of weaponry extends from short

swords to war hammers.

Specials – Special moves need to be equipped in order to use

them. More than one character can be equipped with the

same Special, unlike other equipment.

The gold / silver ring around the icon shows the current charge.

Backpack – This is used for carrying several different types of items.

These are:

Inventory – This displays all the items that the party is carrying.

It also shows the currently selected hero’s statistics, total gold collect-

ed and arrows found. Further into the game, a map of Jarrah is

given to the heroes. This can also be accessed from the Inventory screen, or brought

up by pressing the M key. Once found, the map can be used to travel between loca-

tions you have already visited. To use it, move the mouse pointer over the name of a

location to highlight it. Press the left mouse button to travel there.

Potions - Displays the different types of potions and vials carried.

Keys – Displays all the keys the party is carrying.

The Backpack also has five empty slots. These are used for holding miscella-

neous story items.
