IMHO this is not a typical RPG. More like a hybrid RPG.

One spell per round, unless you're a mage and have the Higher Magic skill. You can also cast spells from scrolls (which disappear after casting).

If you move a unit to it's maximum range, it's turn ends, so it won't be able to attack, use a special ability, or defend. If you move it just a few steps within its range (or if you don't move it at all), you can attack, use a special ability, defend or wait.
