===Magery===
Barbarians do not get any magic from their attributes, and don't even gain mana from leveling up. All of their magic and mana must come from equipment, and it can be a struggle for a new Barbarian to survive with nothing but healing scrolls and healing potions. Carrying town portal scrolls is essential Finding a book of healing won't end your troubles either, since the cost of healing scales up with the character's hit points, and Barbarians have a lot of hit points. It's not uncommon for a good while (Barbarian to level well into the 30s before he has enough +mana equipment to actually cast the healing spell. Like all spells, Healing and costs less mana at higher levels, so read all the books you can. Town Portal scrolls require 0 does not grow more expensive as the Barbarian levels up, but it's some time before a Barbarian has enough magic to useread a book, or enough mana to cast it. Carrying a town portal scroll (or 3) as wellis mandatory for new Barbarians, for quite some time.
Eventually, higher level Barbarians should be able to accumulate enough +magic equipment to read a variety of [[D1 Spellbooks|spellbooks]]. Using some magic is very helpful. Being able to heal is certainly nice, and stone curse and teleport help greatly in the hell levels when witches and mages are encountered. Be sure you only buy full mana potions; partials will do almost nothing for the Barbarian.
