[@Stitches] Yes, Adrian may add that to her list if spells. For Preparation, you have until the next day (in-game) to prepare. I don't really get what you mean by "How will I handle the use of Equipment?" You can bring in tools and such, like a grappling hook and rope, scrolls, and potions. There are shops all around Heston, or Victor can make his own.  For what you can bring, you can bring just about whatever you can carry. But bringing to much may slow you down and be a hassle.
