Drinking/Using Potions?

[Hawkwind]

This may seem like a stupid question - but how the heck do you drink a potion? There's nothing in the game manual that I can see on how to do this. If you click on a potion in inventory, it allows you to Group or Divide potions - or drop the potion, but nothing to allow you to actually use it....

Also, every good RPG I ever played allowed you to rest/camp/sleep to regain mana & hit points (in fact, I've never played one that didn't) but this game doesn't seem to allow that. Not very realistic.

During a battle, I find sometimes Heal spells won't work. If I choose a character that has the Heal spell, and press CTRL and click on the character, it will work for the first 2 or 3 times and then won't work at all. And the character has full mana.

I'm sure I will have more questions later...

To use a potion you have to bring up the "use/give" button and then Cntrl Click the desired target. This annoys me so I generally don't use potions or scrolls. Incidentally you can't use a potion on yourself !

Just to add you CAN use these potions on yourself:-

Heal
Great heal
Cure posion
Bloodlust
Heroic might
Toughen

You can NOT use Mana, Mana More or Mana max on yourself though.

Your healing character (priest, no?) may have other spell books, such as Vine. You may be out of Spirit Mana, but the blue Mana bar could be showing you still have full Vine Mana. To check if this is the case, look at the number below the healing spell when it's displayed on your Parchment Scroll. If this shows zero, then that's your problem.
