I've been having a lot of fun with Citadel, but am kind
of stuck right now, in spite of posessing the hints booklet.

(minor spoilers follow)

I've explored everything through the sixth level so far, but
that damn magic mouth that blows out your torches on the way
to the seventh level has me stumped.  I know I'm supposed to
be able to use the crystal ball that I found as a light, but
I can't get the thing to work.  "Rubbing" the icon for the ball
with the mouse while it's in the view window or while "inspecting"
it doesn't seem to do anything.

At first, I thought it might be because there are no good members
of my party (except for Fra Elsof, the NPC), so I created a good
wizard and had him try it (both at camp and in the citadel), to
no avail.

There doesn't seem to be any other way to get past -- I've tried
going down to the seventh level in the dark, but I get attacked
by beasties, and even if I defeat them, there's a wizard somewhere
(Nequilar?) who just keeps blasting my party with attack spells until
everybody's dead.

Many thanks.
