Peace Mode
Peace mode is the state you're in when the dove button is shown on the interface and you're not in a combat stance. In this mode you can perform Secure Trades, carry out all Crafting actions and heal yourself more successfully. You click the dove to go into combat mode and bring up the corresponding combat panel depending on which type of weapon you're wielding:
Combat Mode
Melee Weapons
This mode is active when you're wielding a melee weapon such as a Sword. The melee combat bar has a slider for changing the speed versus power. The high, medium and low buttons refer to the attack height.

Missile Weapons
This mode is active when you're wielding a missile weapon such as an Atlatl. The missile combat bar is exactly the same as the melee bar except the slider now controls speed versus accuracy instead of power.

Magic Casters
You can switch tabs in the Magic panel by pressing the <insert> and <page up> keys to cycle through the five tabs. These are the same keys used to increase / decrease attack power / accuracy in the Combat panel.
