I'm currently working my way through level 2; if you're not very far along there, there might be spoliers; I'll try not to make them too obvious, but I may fail. 1) I think I saw a message asking if there was a shortcut to getting to the stairs on level one; I've never gotten there except by using the teleport spell. Is there another way? If so, can you send me hints as to how to do it (preferably not outright spoilers...). 2) I have the red crystal. I tried equipping it, but nothing seemed to happen. a) Should I equip with it, and if so, what type of person would get the most benefit from it? b) If I shouldn't equip it, what is it good for? I assume it relates to the rather cryptic message about the rainbow.... 3) I paid for my info. The message seemed to indicate that certain spells would be more effective. Which ones? (looks like katino, manifo, and mantino, but I'm not sure). I'm sure I'll think of more later, but that's all I can think of now. Again, if you can give me hints without ruining the game for me, great. Message 3, in particular, I view as spoiler-proof; a straightforward answer is fine there. -- R David Francis francis@cis.ohio-state.edu
