How to use Wizard and Cleric spells in Dark and Darker

Spells take some to cast and require the use of the magic staff. This item is the wizard's primary weapon, but it is the cleric's second weapon. If you do not have this equipped, you cannot cast spells. Ensure you have properly read the spell's effects, and aim at your intended target.

One thing to note is that your Knowledge limits spells. This can be seen in the Spell tab of the Class tab. Each spell has a Knowledge amount associated with it, so you will need to balance this when building your spell book. A number in the corner of each spell represents this number. You can, however, equip more spells than you have Knowledge of, as you can find Knowledge while exploring, which will then unlock those additional spells.
