==== Casting patterns ====
There are again many variations here; Three notable patterns are as follows (with useful variations noted). They assume a player starting with full health. There are many alternative combinations that work in different situations, the strategies listed here are the most generally useful. 

# Raven's Fury with Drain spells.
#* Cast Raven's Fury
#* Use the highest drain spell available to recover health and do the most damage (drain 7-8 for instance)
#** Variation: cast drain 5 to recover more health but do less damage
#* Cast drain 1 to top of player health.
#** Variation: continue to cast higher level drains until health is recovered, this may not be optimal and depends entirely on the players health needed to be recovered, and the targets health remaining. Typically more productive with a higher maximum player health, and a higher remaining target health.
# Raven's Fury with Stamina to Health
#* Cast Raven's Fury
#* Use highest level Stamina to Health spell to recover full health
#* Repeat from start, until out of stamina, then:
#** Switch to another strategy (3, below, for example), or intersperse one or more revitalize castings to recover used stamina. 
#** It is also possible to start using the mana to health spell to regain health, though this can be a little risky with targets that are a significant danger to the player, it also may result in both the stamina and mana of the player being depleted and require time consuming replenishment. (consider drain 5 stamina and mana spells from distant targets). Health to mana may also be used, but puts the player at still further peril. 
# As above #2. Except use Heal self to recover health, followed by drain 1 to "top off". This is a completely sustainable pattern over pattern #2, but a bit slower to repeat.
