Battle
Battle is a standard turn-based system. Players must first choose to fight an enemy horde, or run from it. When the Fight command is chosen, the player must decide which weapon, spell, or ability they want to attack with, or whether to defend with an equipped shield. However, equipment has durability. Using a weapon, a shield or a magic book will decrease its durability by one use. When it reaches zero, it breaks and must be replaced. Humans and Mutants can equip multiple weapons so they will not be totally useless should one of their weapons break.
Weapons and shields, with a few exceptions, have a limited number of uses. Therefore it is very important that the characters have enough equipment to get them through their various quests. There is no way to change equipment in the middle of a battle. It is suggested that the player buy extra equipment while they are in towns.
Some weapons and shields have unlimited uses, and these will have a dash where the number would usually appear. Later, the player will have the opportunity to purchase an item called Arcane which can restore the character's equipment back to their full amount of uses. This is particularly useful with such powerful weapons like the Glass sword, Masmune, and Xclbr.
