There are 3 fighter skills that are learned at random every 10th level.
Cleric spells improve the cleric and bless him with a holy power for a short time. Two powers can be active at once.
Most spells have a timer while they are active. This timer is increased with Magic ability from leveling. Other spells have a cool down which is decreased with Magic ability from leveling.
Holy Smite is learned at level 3. Spells are learned in order every 7th level.

The mage learns elemental spells that are channeled through his magical weapons While a spell is active, using alt fire will activate the spell. Each weapon channels the elements differently.
Mana used by spells depends on the weapon and spell. More powerful spells use more mana. The wand uses blue mana when casting spells. Frosh shards use green. Lightning uses both. The most powerful weapon, Bloodscourge, uses both mana types with similar power to this ultimate weapon.
Note: Use Zoom and Reload to quickly change spells
