The combat system relies on the advancement of fighting skills as much as on good equipment. The quality of weapons and armour has an impact on attack as well as defense, but the proper use of characters' skill sets is equally important. For normal attacks it is important to master the weapon skills such as two-handed swords, bows or staffs, because they are directly responsible for the accuracy with that weapon. You will have difficulties with a weapon you are not accustomed to.

While you are inflicting primarily physical damage on your enemies when using a weapon, spells of mages and priests deal magical damage. This is due to the mage having control over the elements fire and wind, while the priest can call upon Narfas, the divine envoy of spring water, who gives her followers control over the element water.
