When you spend a night at the Inn you pay the Innkeeper, then reture for the night.  Upon waking next morning, your HP and MP are at maximum strength.

Always return to the King and save your progress once your Level rises.  When you do this, notice that theKing tells you how many Experience Points are needed to reach the next level-up.  If you keep that number in mind you should be able to calculate when you will get the next increase in your level and possibly get a new spell.

Magic is learned only after many trials and failures.  At particular levels you will learn particular spells, but don't expect to learn a new spell each time your level increases.  There are ten spells in all.  At level 3 you will learn your first magical spell, the spell of Heal.  The effect of Heal is that when chanted it raises the chanter's HP by as much as 15.  During a fierce battle you may notice your HP sinking rapidly.  That might be a good time to use Heal.  Next, at level 4, the spell of Hurt is learned.  It is an attack spell, capable of inflicting up to 15 HP worth of damage on an enemy.  Once you've learned a speall and saved the game, you can't lose it.  You might run out of MP, and you need MP to cast spells, so keep an eye on your Condition Window.

There may come a time when you bite off more than you can chew.  If a servant of the Dragonlord defeats you in battle, you will die and lose half of your gold.  The King, however, has the power to restore your life so you can continue your quest.  Only your supply of gold suffers.
