Oh, there you are!!  I was wondering when I would see you again.

This game is a little more complicated than the first one, as it involves "Magick" Yup, that's how they spell it in the GUE. (That's Great Underground Empire, the name Dimwit Flathead gave to the region)

From time to time, an old man will walk into the room, this is the Wizard of Frobozz, and he's there to mess with you.  He usually casts one of his spells on you. (Those of which I'll list in a few lines)

Now, there are 12 spells that the Wizard can cast on you, and Seven others that have special purposes. 

The Spells

SPOILER!!! You also have use of these spells when you attain the Wizard's Wand late in the game.

The 12 basic spells include:

Carousel Room

Here it is, the Carousel Room.  This is the most annoying room in all of Zorkdom, because you can't control which direction you leave the room from, due to the fact that the room makes you feel like you've been spinning for hours. Add the fact that there are eight different exit, and you've got a real fun time.  Also, this is the Living Room of this game, you always return here, so you can just leave everything you're not going to need here in the Carousel Room.  Don't worry, you took care of the thief already.
