Much more to do in a fight

In the MUD areas you now have the whole old spell list: about ninety spells, plus potions to quaff, scrolls to recite, wands to zap and staves to brandish. Some mobs cast back.
Type 'abilities' for what you know and what each costs, 'abilities <name>' to read about one, and 'help combat' or 'help abilities' to get started.
Your body has stamina now. Hard effort tires you, and 'condition' tells you how winded you are.
New things to try anywhere: 'stance defensive' (or aggressive, balanced), 'search', 'listen <direction>', 'climb', 'jump', 'sneak', 'tend <someone>'.
Defending is smarter: you dodge, parry or block depending on what is coming at you, and tired, burdened, seated or surprised fighters defend worse.
