Traveler
I played Drakensang Eye a long time ago. Now I'm starting up TRoT. So, far ok... figuring stuff out... like how to Fast Travel. My next hurdle is casting spells. I can drag n drop the spells to my quick bar (Can't figure how to delete stuff from quick bar) and sometimes I can use the spells. But, I'm finding a whole lot of time so far, they are darkened out and I cannot cast them. What am I missing here? I'm pretty sure they are cast off Astral Energy and I recover it rather quickly. Help please or am I suffering a glitch?
 
Using a small buckler shield found in market..... not sure what is made of... thought it was wood though.. I'll check that to see if is cause.... thanks.
 
Yep, I'm a noob all over again.... lol... seen "special" description.... since it has some parts made of iron... no magic. Problem solved. Thanks again.
