Thanks for the answers on spell points - I missed that.

Now another question: What determines when and how shops are
stocked? I'm running a solo effort with a Necromancer (not easy, I
know). And I notice that the shops aren't stocking much that I can't
use.

Also, I think I noticed a shop restock on the first day of a new
month (in game time). Coincidence or design?

Thanks again!

ps. Great game. Just the kind I like to play, with character
building, treasure to find, puzzles, etc.
