Ths list below I extracted from a message a long time ago concerning
Chaos Strikes Back. Just for amusement I thoug I'd try them on DM1
assuming without a hand-held map they wouldn't work. I cant see how to
do GOR IR spells since they are both on the same thingy and not useable
simultaneously. So what are these spells ??
Here we go....
More Spells from DM2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Find a dragon and cast MON ZO GOR SAR and hit ESC to pause the game. Hold
down the ALT key and type in LORD LIBRASULUS SMITHES THEE DOWN. Unpause
the game and slay the beast. He leaves behind a firestaff and your party
will be invincible.
Undocumented Spells:
GOR IR KU - Detects Monsters
GOR IR ROS - Detects fake walls and "invisible" (actually hard to see) pits
GOR IR DAIN - Detects "magic" on screen?
ZO IR NETA - Anchors the map at the point of casting so that as you move
around, the map view stays at the anchored position.
OK ?

RE: LORD LIBERSERUS (OR WHATEVER) CHEAT: THIS DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CANNOT CAST MON ZO GOR SAR!!!!!!! All it tells you is "character mumbles an indecipherable spell" Then, even if you go on and type in that line, it just doesn't work!!

We tried to set the spells, but GOR and IR are on the same power level. Once you select GOR, then you CANNOT select IR... And the spell to use against the dragon is impossible. If you have done this.. then you must have a STRANGE copy.. and if IT can be done, please state the EXACT way... (This is not a flame...) David D. Dean, President "Living in a 3-D world."

Concerning "mystery spells" in DM, and CSB... The business about "Lord Librasulas smites thee down..." was an APRIL FOOLS JOKE printed in some British ST magazine... It's incredible how this kind of BS gains a life of its own.. The GOR spells are from the Amiga version of Chaos Strikes Back.. they relate to the "mapping" spells FTL added to the Amiga version.. The Atari ST version doesn't have them. BobR
