I disagree. All of the spells, when right clicked upon list the amount of
mana that they use. It is silly to say, this spell requires 10 mana per
cast, but hey, we are only gonna tell you what percentage of your limit you
have with this nifty colored bar thing. The other thing to consider is that
all RPG's that I have seen/played/heard of are very numerically based. All
of them represent stats as numbers, and it just doesn't feel like a proper
RPG unless this detail is available to me.
