Magic

You start with a staff. Right-click it: your hotbar becomes your spells. Pick one with the number keys, aim, left-click to cast.

Holding a staff, the XP bar shows magicka. It refills on its own. Each spell costs magicka, then rests a few seconds. You can hold a second staff in your off hand.

Spell	What it does	Magicka	Rest
Flames	A stream of fire while you hold the button.	6	instant
Candlelight	Places a hovering light where you aim.	12	3s
Healing	Recovers three hearts across five seconds.	30	20s
Oakflesh	Your skin hardens for a minute.	25	15s
Ice Spike	Injures one target and slows it for three seconds.	25	3s
Conjure Familiar	Summons a wolf that fights beside you for one minute.	40	45s
Chain Lightning	Lightning that jumps between three enemies.	55	12s
Fury	One monster turns against the monsters around it for ten seconds.	20	15s
Fireball	Bursts where it lands and injures everything nearby.	60	10s
Invisibility	Nobody can see you for twenty seconds.	50	60s

Casting earns spell points. Spend them at an arcane altar (right-click it holding your staff). Buy every spell at your rank to rank up and get more magicka. Spells you use a lot get stronger.

Spell won't cast? Not enough magicka, still resting, or you can't fight on this land.

Vampires

A vampire's bite can turn you. Sun burns you, night makes you strong, you drink blood. /vampire shows your state.
