I've finished playing SWORD both with and without the infinite-life cheat
mode on. What I've found is that it requires a near-perfect game (no lives
lost), 4 magic items (zap,zap,zap,shield) and a lot of patience to kill
the wizard at the end.

My question: Is there any more effective way of killing the wizard? Seems
hard to believe that any HUMAN player could get past this point without
the cheat.
