About this game
The Lord of Lightning is a first-person adventure whose interface tracks life and mana separately. Orange liquid shows health; blue liquid shows the magical energy used to attack. Walking over an item places it into an available inventory slot, with health-related items on the left and mana-related items on the right.
Arrow keys move forward or backward and turn. Comma and period step sideways. Home jumps or moves upward in water; End ducks or moves downward. Ctrl or the left mouse button fires, although the game's help warns that shooting is unavailable near water.
Use keys 1–4 for the left inventory and 5–8 for the right. F2 saves and F3 loads the last save. Keep an eye on both resources and leave inventory space for pickups you may need later.

Quick tips
Walking over a pickup collects it only if an appropriate inventory slot is free.
Attacking consumes mana; monitor the blue gauge as well as health.
