I have one mage in my party but when I right click his hands it gives me boxes with symbols and when I try anything it says spell fizzled. I have a scroll of fireball in his left hand but that doesn't do anything either. Second question, how do you revive a party member that died? I got trapped in a corner and half of my attacks kept missing -_-
You click on the runes that you want to use, and then on the cast magic spell in the lower right corner. But your mage needs to be skilled enough in the appropriate school(s) to cast the spell. For an example you need 2 points of fire magic to cast the most basic fire spell.
There are big blue floating stones scattered around the dungeon that can revive your party (one per level?). Remember that you can move your party members inside the party, by clicking and dragging, in case your front guys gets killed, and you need someone to stand in the front for attacks.
Also, it is important to move out of the way of the enemy while your attacks recharge. Don't try to go toe to toe with the enemy, it hurts!
