Healing Paw - "No Mana"

[Hippyshake]

I'm having a great time with the game, but I can never get Healing Paw to work. It always says "no mana." Is anyone else experiencing this?

EDIT: Nevermind. I finally got it to cast where I could see what it was doing and discovered it's basically useless.

You have to upgrade the healing paw with coins at the apothecaries (or whatever they are called). It works fine. It takes a lot of mana, so if the bar isn't full enough, it won't work.

You have to strategise when in some of those more difficult cave battles. Always keep one of the monsters alive that looks like a giant fist til last. Hit it with your weapon to restore your mana. It does very little damage to the monster, but you want it alive, that's the point. Use the Healing Paw to restore health to full. Keep hitting the fist thing, and using healing paw, til you have both bars full. I choose that monster for regaining mana because it doesn't move. It's an easy one to avoid getting hit by.

It's all about how you play. ;)

I've finished the game couple of times (it was addictive!), but this is great advice for future newcomers as this seems to be a common complaint. Your post is the best I've seen about healing paw. Cheers!
