Reply to DinkHD 1.8.7 - Status Issues
If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
DinkHD 1.8.7 (and, quite likely, earlier versions) have several issues related to 'status' (i.e. good ol' magic, health, experience, all that jazz).
I created a dumb D-Mod to show the differences clearly. I did so (and am doing so) after a bit of wine, whiskey, and vodka, so if this doesn't actually so anything intelligible, I'll try to fix it tomorrow.
Here's the sample D-Mod:

1) Health changes are instantaneous in DinkHD, while they occur over time in v1.08. In v1.08 it is possible to have fatal damage, quickly equip a potion and use it to survive, while this will always result in a death in DinkHD.
v1.08:
DinkHD:
2) Experience changes are instantaneous in DinkHD, and do not result in a 'ticking sound effect'. If a lot of experience is gained over a short amount of time in DinkHD, you can skip several levels.
v1.08:
DinkHD:
3) Bringing up the DinkHD escape menu using shift-escape will always use the equipped magic spell. And, your magic will refill while the DinkHD escape menu is active.
