- ~Spells and Magic Items:
-
- ~ Spells are an important part of this game for both fighters and wizards.
- To be able to cast a spell, you must first find that spell book. Spell books
- are found as treasure when you kill monsters. The deeper in the dungeon you
- are, the more powerful the spell tends to be. Once you have found a spell book,
- you possess that spell forever.
- ~ Casting spells requires spell points. First level spells use one spell
- point, second level spells use two points, third level spells use three points,
- etc. As you become higher level, your spell points will increase. After you use
- up some spell points, you may stay at an Inn to restore them to their full
- amount.
- ~ To find out what spell books you have you can type `C' for Cast spells, and
- then type the level of the spell you want to examine.
- ~ Note that there are two types of spells. There are attack spells and
- preparatory spells. Attack spells can only be cast when you are being attacked
- by a monster (it is in the middle of the 3-D image). Preparatory spells can
- only be cast while you are not being attacked. Thus if you find an attack spell,
- you will have to wait until you are in combat to find out what it does.
-
- ~ Magic items also are devided into attack items and preparatory items. You
- can, however, examine all of your magic items by hitting `M'.
- ~ You can find out what these spells and magic items do by paying a visit to
- the Wizard's guild.

- ~Pills and Wands:
-
- ~ Pills and wands come in various colors. There is no way to determine what
- each of these items does until you use it. Once you know what each colored item
- does, it will not change so you should write it down.
- ~ Pills will generally affect characteristics, while wands will do other
- things.
- ~ Pills can only be found by killing level-drainers, while wands can be found
- by killing level drainers or other special monsters like Invaders.
-
