After a while playing the game the player character(dryad) will freeze in the spot, no movement/attacks/combat arts will work. God powers and teleport still work but don't unfreeze the character. Exiting to main menu/game and re-entering SP/MP will unfreeze the character, frustrating though due to lost progress(saving the game doesn't always save your current position).
