I suggest switching the "Item" (C) key and the "Spell" (V) key to prevent accidentally hitting and waiting the pots (whilst spamming attack and spells, which i happen to do a lot). I also noticed that none of the other consumable items are actually worth buying since health pots are way more important, making them quite useless.
It seems as if the stick shakes a little and ends up slant when ever i try to make the pike .. there's no clear indication of any hole for it to shake and slant that way (as if there is one)
Glad you had fun :)
