Hello,

	I've been playing Drakkhen for the past week or two and have a few
questions.  First off, what is that circle of flashing dots to the left of
the "pit" in the character sheet?  I can find no explaination at all in the
manual.

	Second, what happens to your character when he's carried off by that
big black bird in the ice region?  I noticed the bird always grabs my
magician, but nothing appears to happen to her after she's dropped to the
ground (other than a minor amount of damage.)

	Third, is there any way to scroll back in the dialog window?  It
really sucks when you get an important message in the middle of combat and
it zips right off the screen.  (For example, when you exit the "water room".)

	Fourth, has anyone been successful doing individual attacks?  Where
exactly on the monster am I supposed to right-click?

	Fifth, how do you aim the lightning bolt spell?  (Also, when you
hit, has anyone gotten more than 5-10 points of damage?)

	Finally, I have a few spoiler requests (e-mail the answers to these):
(a) What are the benefits of the following abilities:
	power, recuperation, impalpability, protection, understanding
	(yes, I know what they should do, but any idea of how they work
	 in the game itself?)
(b) Are rings any better than scepters?
(c) How do I survive the force field protecting the suit of armor after the
    "water room"?
(d) What does that switch right after the "water room" do when I pull it?
    (It's the thing that tells you to watch out for stars after you click
    on the action icon.)
(e) Is there any way to get more heal potions besides the earth prince's
    castle?
