You may not level up the same character twice in a row, but you can use
multiple attempts with the same character until you succeed.
If the roll result is higher than the character’s current level, they succeed!
Characters who level up gain +1 life point (to current and max) and may
gain class abilities as described in their class summary. Life totals cannot
go above the max life value.

There are six basic spells in the game. Blessing may be cast by wizards and clerics. All
the other spells may be cast only by wizards and elves. Casting a spell is an action
equivalent to attacking in combat. Spells may be cast during a melee. A spell-caster
may attack in melee OR cast a spell, not both. The Escape spell may be cast instead of
making a Defense roll. It is the only spell that may be cast during the monsters’ turn.
Blessing: This spell removes a curse from a character. A curse is a game effect gained
by stepping into a cursed room. Blessing will also remove other conditions, such as
being turned to stone by a medusa.
