Another of Cases' excellent text adventures with all the advantages and disadvantages of the Quill generation. As apprentice to the mighty Zaranol - who's off at a sorcerers' convention - you find yourself in dire magical straits, cursed by a demon, and must round up five items to get out from under.

There are only 45 locations, but the puzzles, if not the most difficult around, are well conceived and fairly unusual. One radical departure is that the two different Help functions (one summons a friend, the other is a straightforward appeal) both work quite often.

Just as well, because a mere novice like yourself isn't too hip to the high level magic that's going down. Crisp, clear and fun.
