Tested it, it's great.
- I would have liked to put a word about amnesia scrolls, but the message
about forgetting is already quite long, so maybe not.
- Player is told to memorise a new spell, but not to use it. Of course, it's
quite obvious what to do when you've just learned a spell named animate
skeleton and you're surrounded by skeletons. Maybe just add "And then raise
yourself an undead army!" or something to the message.
- Make the corridors between rooms wider so it's easier to bring your allies
along.
- After the hobgoblin fight, on the message about armour, maybe tell the
player to try animate skeleton over the hobgoblin corpse. That's fun :)
- Before the last fight, maybe tell the player that skeletons are immune to
noxious fumes so he can use evaporate without fear of hurting his allies.
