Can anyone please explain me death/save/etc mechanic?

[Majber]

Im considering buying this game but I cant find simple guide on mechanic like dying or saving.
What do you lose when you die in this game?
Can you save or quick save? How often?
Can you save on quiting the game?
Does you mana regen or your hp? How you regen mana,only from potions?
What new player should now before starting the game? I read some guide on starting classes and weapons and character creation already from guides section of steam.

The game uses a save point system. You can save at specific locations and nowhere else. If you die, you have to reload your save, meaning you lose all progress. If you've played any of the King's Field or Shadow Tower games (I'm guessing you haven't since I don't think you'd have made this thread otherwise), it's exactly like those games.

Save points also refill you hp and mana, to get passive mana regen you need to level rasistance to 100. Health is complicated, there's max hp, your current hp and blood hp on top of you current hp. Bleed hp slowly heals into regular hp. Vampires get blood hp when they deal melee damage, but their blood hp heals slower. Healing spell don't just increase your current health, it gives you blood hp on top of your current hp and blood spells instead of costing mana transform part of you current hp into blood hp, which heals into normal hp. Uh, dunno if I explained it properly, but it's pretty intuintive when you just see it.

As you explore you encounter save crystals which function as warp locations. Your mana and HP regenerate when you interact with save crystals. You have to manually save at these crystals and if you die you lose all progress and have to reload your last save. I'm pretty new to this game but I don't think mana or wealth regen when you're actually crawling through the game, only when at the save crystal so you have to be smart while playing and decide how to spend your resources.

There is an in-game manual so while you are playing you can go into your inventory and look at the manual which explains things.

Not having played games like this I think you're supposed to jump in and explore, you're not supposed to "know everything" you will experiment, learn and occasionally be surprised by stuff you didn't expect. This older save reload system is actually very accommodating, when you make a lot of progress there is pressure to be more conservative in your playstyle to not lose progress but, if you do die it's not permanent so you can reload the save and try again. Atleast for me it makes me more willing to try stuff because if I fail, waste resources, or die I can always just reload.

Haha, your explanation is great, my comprehension sucks. This game is not exactly
"intuitive" either. Just started as an intended magic user so your comment about
100 resistance is priceless, never would've known otherwise. Thank you!
