Combat points

Combat points are points assigned to different tasks done in combat,
like defense, attack and spellcasting. Combat points can be assigned
to different tasks with the 'battle -a' command. 

- Combat points assigned to attack affect your hitspeed (how quickly and
  often you can attack)

- Combat points assigned to defense affect your defense (undecided
  total effects)

- Combat points assigned to casting affect your casting speed.

If no combat points are assigned to casting, you will not cast spells.
If no combat points are assigned to attack, you will not hit during combat.
