what the? fable 2 doesnt have mana!

[black lincon]

I've had the fable 2 strategy guide for the better part of a week and just a little while ago I made an interesting discovery; there's no mana in fable 2. In the list of potions there's no mana potions to refill your mana, and in screen shots there's no mana bar only a health bar. So how do you think fable is going to put a limit on how much you can use spells? My vote goes for something like a cool down period.

P.S. I know its not called mana I just forgot what it was called and figured everyone would understand what I meant.

there's some kinda recharge time limit i think

The way the magic works is such: you pick 5 spells and rank them from 1-5. You hold down B and your magic charges from the lowest (1) to the highest (5). Letting go when the charge is at any one of your spells will cast it in one of it's forms, I think either area or ray. Higher ranked spells are more powerful than if you put the same spell in a lower rank. If you get hit at any point, it cancels the charge.

There isn't a mana bar, and there isn't a cooldown. You can spam your lowest ranked spells all you want.

Seems like a nice change. Hopefully it will work as well as the usual set up.

sounds better than a mana bar

Yeah, especially because being a pure mage just wasn't an option in Fable 1.

still gonna be a spell warrior

I dunno, sounds odd. Much testing will need to be done before I decide what I like better. I for one was a big fan of the magic system in the first, and it is easy as hell to blow through the game using only Will if you arn't 100% retarded.

Two words: Slow Time.

Controversy at work

 

[N_of_the_dead]

i just think its better than carrying around 9 mana potions especially if you prefer the option of spell casting

every one seems to agree that in Fable 1 you couldn't be a pure spell caster at least now in fable 2 you have a better chance.

Mage Gunman (or whatever it's called) for me, homies.

Hero your Will energy is getting low. Watch that.

No. I hated that man so much. That message was only said after I hit the mana potion command, or when I was out of combat and it didn't matter.

 

[N_of_the_dead]

i figure im gonna try as many combos as possible but i will also be trying the mage gunner style at first

what the hell do you call a guy who uses guns and magic?
