Hey! So this is a thread I'm making to explain the mechanics of combat. Basically everything is based on how much mana a character has, and different spells cost different amounts of mana. Each school of magic starts out with a different amount of mana that increases with experience. Mana can be restored by resting for a few hours, or, in a pinch, consuming the glowing mushrooms growing around campus. However, consuming too many in a short period of time will result in either the worst trip of your life or death.
In battle, you're required to keep track of how much mana you have left and indicate somewhere which spell you're using when you cast one. I may tweak some things later or add more spells as the RP progresses!
