Removing effects

How exactly does removing an effect by paying the mana cost work? Does it require an action or quickcast, or do you ust pay the mana when you feel like and be done with it?

You need to use a spell that removes conditions, it will then usually tell you to pay removal costs.

Yep. Right now you're looking at playing as the Priestess and/or using Purify. I think that's about it ATM.

That's the sum we have currently, though I've seen mention on these forums of a Healing Wand coming that will give all mages an easier way to handle conditions.

They just spoiled a card called Renewing Spring (or something like that) on Facebook that can both heal and remove conditions.  It will be in the expansion.

Thanks, that makes sense. I never really looked at too many healing-oriented cards in general, which sounds like it would have answered my question.

Well, as others have said, there appears to be more coming, especially in the way of multitaskers, that would probably have gotten your attention any way. Since there is so little right now it's no surprise that you missed it.

Yup. I do have to say, though, this has been the only rule I haven't been able to figure out on my own, which is pretty impressive on AW's part.

Rot and Weak are the only two conditions that can't be removed except by a spell.  All the others have another way to remove them written on the marker.
Since Rot and Weak are both poison conditions, I'm sure that's why they included Purify in the base game.
Also don't forget about Geyser to remove Burn conditions, since it's a Hydro spell.
