KEY TIPS TO HELP YOU BECOME THE KING OF THE WIZARDS
BUFF YOUR WIZ
■ The player’s wizard is hopelessly outclassed against higher-level computer opponents. Level the playing field by beefing up your character’s defence (Magic Shield and Armour) and attack (Magic Knife, Sword and Bow). The latter items prove to be quite useful as they will also allow you to attack the undead.
EXAMINE SPELLS
■ Each spell has an information page detailing statistics such as Combat, Defence and Movement Allowance. However, the most crucial stat sits at the bottom: Casting Chance. This percentage figure adjusts according to the wizard’s ability and the alignment balance of the Plane. Play the odds before casting.

AN UNDEAD CERT
■ Do you want to make your wizard capable of withstanding any normal attack? Then simply cast a Raise Dead spell on any dead mountable creature such as a Horse or Pegasus, hop on, and then you’ll be undead, too. Fangs are not included.
BREAKING THE ENGAGEMENT
■ Once monsters (and wizards)become entangled in close combat, escape can be tricky. Fortunately, there’s a handy bug for anyone in a pickle: press ‘I’ and a direction away from your enemy, and you’ll attack air and move one space.
