I also have the CD version and I love this game, have for years.
Hey undertaker, you seem to know a lot about this game. I did some testing using michaels magic and no doubt it is more powerful (than A'kshel for the purposes of this test)...
However, I did some testing and I find that A'kshel recovers mana at a faster rate, whether this is due to having a higher total mana or not I'm not sure. With some simple tests I find it takes A'kshel (with a total of 32 mana in this instance) about 10.3-10.4 seconds to regen to full (from 2 mana(level 4 spark cast and then a level 1)). Michael with a total of 25 mana takes around 11.4-11.5 seconds to regen to full. That means A'kshel is about 10% faster when he regening mana than michael, and michael had 5 less mana to recover. (i started resting when A'kshel was down to 2 mana)
Even if this is soley based upon max mana, A'kshel will always have the highest mana of any caster. I just think its a benefit no one had mentioned in so far as I could see. In aggregate, higher mana regen is a big advantage for any caster type.
:-) man i love this game :-)
