- Skill bar: no art selection; slot 0 is the right-click art, keys 0-6 cast
slots directly; cooldown labels in exact seconds; slot 0 set apart.
- Arts regenerate on their own (casting no longer refills the group).
- Auto-attack after targeting or casting at a hostile creature, at the speed
of a held button.
- Auras can be recast while active (renew, no second visual).
- Blicke wie Klingen hits every enemy in range, physical, with life leech.
- Blitzschlag steers the game's own chain: 3 + level/5 hits, 1 + level/10
chains, re-hits a lone enemy.
- Weapon sets: click selects, drag only from the selected set; the leftmost
set is clickable (signed hit tests).
- Esc closes open windows before opening the game menu.
- HUD: standalone buttons and texts are centred.
- Record cache sized for widened views (town lag while walking).
- Shared game code: orders, fx events, text drawing, cooldowns, effects.

Saving marks effect objects dead, so after a load the Heldenmut /
Klingenblick buff was active but its aura effect (cObjectFX 842) was
gone. A few ticks after a save game has loaded, the effect is created
again for each such buff of a player hero (CreateAt + cEventFX 0x42,
as the art's cast effect does), with the buff's remaining time.
Shared game events (game/engine/events): engine tick and "save game
loaded" callbacks; the WASD mod uses the tick through it.

Raw WM_KEYDOWN/WM_KEYUP are handled in both window procedures (the game
swaps 0x8110d0 and 0x8122a0 with SetWindowLong; 0x8110d0 is the in-game
one). Bound keys are swallowed and post the original hotkey's key event
to the kernel, so F-keys work and bindings are layout independent
([keys] in sacred_re.ini). Replaces the WASD hotkey remap and the digit
swap; W/A/S/D and the digit row no longer reach the game. Skill keys
still cast through the right mouse button. Enabled switches removed.

While W/A/S/D are held, the controlled creature gets a plain walk order every
engine tick toward its position plus the pressed screen direction, as the
mouse does while its button is held (every mouse event re-sends a walk to the
cursor point); releasing sends the target-less stop order of a released mouse
button. W/A/S/D key events are swallowed before the hotkeys see them; their
old actions move to G (action slot 3), V (pick up nearby) and K (save game
window) for now, configurable in [wasd].
docs/wasd.md: order format, measured mouse behaviour, hotkey map.
docs/todo.md: better pathfinder; final bindings for the moved hotkeys.
re::ConfigString for string settings.
