Magic Details

My spells don't always work. Why?

Details of Cubes' Effects on Spells

Spell Cubes that increase chance of success

BLORPLE (always works)
FROTZ Change, Light (75% base chance)
GNUSTO Change, Earth (75% base chance)
LESOCH Air, Fire
MALYON Fire, Life
REZROV Change, Earth
YOMIN Mind, Light
SNAVIG Change, Dark
GIRGOL (special, as spell is so powerful)
LISKON Change, Earth
TINSOT Water, Fire
JINDAK Light, Connectivity
ESPNIS Mind, Death
CASKLY Change, Connectivity
THROCK Life, Water

If you have the cube that BLORPLEs you to the Magic Room, it gives an
extra-strong power boost to all spells. With this cube in your possession,
only the GIRGOL spell can ever fail under normal circumstances.

When I use a spell on a scroll, the scroll disappears and I can't use the
spell again. Help!
1. You should GNUSTO the spell into your spell book.
2. Then you can memorize the spell from your book and use it repeatedly.

For Your Amusement

(after you've finished the story)

What did we name the cubes here at Infocom?

Dave gave them boring names like "Earth" or "Air."
Gary gave them all incomprehensible (to others) single-letter names,
because he hates typing.
Max named one "Ohio" because he was looking for a 4-letter synonym for No
Place. (Max has never visited Ohio, either.)
Spike named them "cube1" through "cube13" because, while he isn't wildly
imaginative, he is very smart.
Liz named the Fire Room cube "Bob" after her husband.
Amy named the Dark Room cube "Inky."
Suzanne named the Boneyard cube "Camels" after her cigarettes.
