Wizards' heightened abilities in this realm carry the penalty of heightened sensitivity to spells cast by others. Sometimes a spell which a mundane person would not even notice will have a profound effect upon you." > after summoning the adventurer what does he want The adventurer is a rather mundane fellow, isn't he? ;-) E-mail if you want a more direct hint, but try to solve it from there. It's one of the funnier puzzles in the game. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scott Forbes Somewhere in a higher dimension of which we strustee@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu know nothing, the mighty Khan bellowed with rage

You don't need a spell to open the door, unless you want to waste one.... maybe someone could give you a hand...... > my Question > > what do I do with the black candle > after summoning the adventurer what does he want > how do I open the map room door without using "dispel magic" (one shot) > who do I turn into an frog the black candle is not needed 'cause in your spell book you have a spell for light....however I wouldn't use it on anything you need to carry..... was the spell "ozmoo"? As for the frog question, you don't need that for awhile. However, some subtle suggestions: get some rest, literally! visit the ocean because an ally is there.... don't use spells unless you're ABSOLUTELY sure there's nothing else you can do. Incidentally, if you ever play Zork, you'll realize that the adventurer in Enchanter is you in Zork! He has a glowing sword, just like you have in Zork. But remember...if the adventurer is "you" in Zork II, he'll behave in ways that you would behave if you were him.... Jpollock@eagle.wesleyan.edu

Yes, It's that time of day again ! When I post another irritating help request for my delver trapped in Enchanter. The Story so far. I was born in a little run down shack, my seven brothers and eight sisters ...... Well to cut the story short Enchanter I have : moved the portrait survived death at the temple cracked open the egg persuaded the turtle to get the scroll from the machine room summoned the adventurer, who opened the guarded door turned him into a frog (for payment, see above) taken the scroll of power from the dungeon To complete the adventure I believe that I only need to cast dispel magic on the stair case fly somewhere (up or down) turn the wiz into a frog or banish him to another existance My Problem I can't fly I have the following unused Items The black candle (from behind the lighted portrait) The firework scroll (from the map room) The silver spoon (from the dungeon cell) I thought that the Library contained another spell or that one of the many bones was actually a scroll tube. (I must be mistaken) Flight lessons would be a great help Thanx Saggy (The Happy Delver) -- <sag@thor.dbsm.oz.au> Voice +61-2-258-2058

I think that the Library does have a scroll. Check out the rodent tracks on the floor. They must lead somewhere, right?
