newbie question regarding spells

Up to this point, I've only been playing with tech characters. So, I thought I'd try a magick character instead. When I cast a spell that needs to be maintained (like strength of earth), two things are happening that I don't understand. First, how do you turn the spell off. I tried clicking the spell button like it says in the owner's manual but this doesn't work. Also, instead of fatigue being drained, my fatigue actually restores to full and never goes down. What's up?

 

must be a bug or something, the enchantment usually disappears when you click the icon.
ur fatigue still grows because the upkeep cost of that spell is to little that u gain fatigue faster than losing it. other spells with big upkeep cost will considerably drain ur fatigue fast. i hope this helps ^_^

 

Thanks. I had downloaded the patch when I first installed the game, so I'm not sure why I'm getting this bug. Has anyone else experience a similar problem?

 

hmm

you clicked on the spell icon at the TOP of the screen? (left click)

that should turn it off....

 

D'oh! No, I was clicking on the icon on the bottom of the screen. I didn't even see the icon at the top. Thanks for help.

 

The one at the bottom is a shortcut.

 

shortcuts are a lifesaver. DOes this mean that you can only have 2 spells with upkeep running at once? THere's only room for two icons at the top. . .

 

I beleive the number of boxes at the top increases with Will Power. The high the WP the more spells you can maintain. I think 5 is the most. Never made it that high with a mage.

 

Actually, no. Will Power affects how many levels of spells can you get. The intelligent of your statistics will increase this.
