Story

As a ds4 user, I want the option to use the alternative magic system "Zauberwerk" because it is a very nice alternative to the original Dungeonslayers 4 magic system.

Description

"Zauberwerk" is an alternative magic system for Dungeonslyers 4 which replaces the cooldown based system with a mana based system. This has great implications on how mages are played. In particular, it deals with the "healers heal everybody after the fight is over" very effectively.

The rules for the system can be downloaded here: http://dungeonslayers.net/download/DS4FWZauberwerk.pdf. However, instead of using the mana values provided there, the table from http://s176520660.online.de/dungeonslayers/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=9606.0;attach=9950 should be used instead to automatically calculate the mana costs from the cooldown duration and the access levels.

Acceptance criteria

There is a system setting to use the mana system instead of the cooldown system
When the mana system is active, the mana value of the character is shown in the actor sheets. The maximum mana value is shown as a combat value (icon tbd.), the current mana value is shown next to the current hit points.
It is possible to display the mana points as a resource for tokens.
When the mana system is active, the mana cost for each spell is shown instead of the cooldown duration in the actor sheets sheet. Additionally, it is also shown in the spell sheet (for each mage class) (but so is the cooldown duration)
There is a compendium of items which consists of the (magic) items from the SRD that have effects that only make sense in the cooldown system, adapted to the mana system. Also, mana potions (as described in the "Zauberwerk") are included.
It is possible for items to provide bonuses to specific spells (matched by name). This is because with the Zauberwerk, wands give a bonus of +1 to their corresponding spell.
