In MAGE, third in the ENCHANTER series, the world is menaced
|
|
by the threatened destruction of magic itself, and only you can
|
|
save it.
|
|
|
|
You owe your position as head of the Enchanters Guild to your
|
|
clever and innovative use of magic, but now magic has become
|
|
unreliable and intermittent. The foundations of the kingdom
|
|
are threatened.
|
|
|
|
Who or what is causing this calamity? In a journey through the
|
|
very structure of the magical universe, from the Zorkian underworld
|
|
to the far reaches of the higher dimensions, you search for
|
|
the source of the unmaking.
|
|
|
|
You must use all your wit to prepare for the final confrontation,
|
|
uncovering the tools and powers to meet the ultimate evil. The
|
|
outcome is uncertain when evil's dark purposes are at last exposed,
|
|
but a mage never falters.

MAGE, the mysterious conclusion to the ENCHANTER trilogy, explores
|
|
the strange underpinnings of the Zorkian universe. A world founded
|
|
on magic and sorcery suddenly finds itself without magic, and you,
|
|
the head of the Enchanters Guild, are the only mage who can find
|
|
the reason. The very structure of the universe is under siege, and
|
|
only a journey through the foundation of magic itself will reveal
|
|
the terrifying reason.

3. Instruction Manual Intro.
|
|
|
|
Welcome to the world of the Enchanter saga -- a world founded on magic,
|
|
where guilds of magicians have mastered the powers of sorcery; a
|
|
world now threatened with destruction.
|
|
|
|
You distinguished yourself among the young Enchanters by defeating the
|
|
evil warlock Krill, whose attempt to subjugate the land was thwarted by
|
|
your cleverness, as your inexperience allowed you to succeed where
|
|
others might have failed. This earned you a place on the Circle of
|
|
Enchanters, second only to the great Belboz the Necromancer. Then Belboz
|
|
himself was nearly destroyed, and your rescue of him from the evil demon
|
|
Jeearr earned you the ultimate honor given a mage, the leadership of the
|
|
Circle of Enchanters.
|
|
|
|
Now, a crisis has befallen the kingdom. Magic itself seems to be
|
|
failing. Spells fail to work or go strangely awry, the populace is
|
|
confused and restive, and even the Enchanters Guild is baffled. A great
|
|
conclave of the Guildmasters is ordained, and it is at this conclave
|
|
that the final conflict between good and evil begins to unfold.
|
|

|
If you're familiar with Infocom's interactive fiction, you may not feel
|
|
like reading this entire manual. However, you should at least read
|
|
about the use of magic (on page x). Also look at the appendix of
|
|
recognized verbs (on page x); some of the verbs listed are found in all
|
|
Infocom stories, while others are included especially for MAGE. All
|
|
wizards will want to familiarize themselves with this list. |
