Restore health
Save the game when near a mushroom ring. Quit, then
reload the saved game to restore your health.
Stepping inside any of the mastery rings will restore you life.
This is much faster than saving and restarting the game.
Rune locations
Light Rune: In Chapter 3, a witch and her sister will give you
the rune and a spell.
Fire Rune: In Chapter 4, Defeat the Beguiler and his clown to
get the rune.
Water Rune: In Chapter 8, reunite the lost brothers to get the
rune.
Dark Rune: In Chapter 10, reunite the two children with their
mother to get the rune.
Ice Ward
That the Ice Ward is extremely powerful, especially
when you are a Water Mace. This move works well on everything
apart from blue monsters, especially on things that cannot move.
If you are trapped by bars of any color(only when you are a Water
Mace), hit the bars with Ice Ward and cast the spell forever for
best effect (creates a shield of ice).
