@Maylander: Thanks! I will get summon skeleton - I assumed they would die very quickly, but its worth a try - and better than having to hide behind a tree. I've munched my way through all the mana restoring herbs I could find too :-o I was trying to kill a zombie last night - took about a minute and a half of whacking it with my staff…*whack*…*whack* *braaaaains* * whack!* Otherwise, it takes about 5 "second circle" fireballs Ah well, my fault for trying a magician I guess. Other than that, I'm enjoying the NoTR additions.
