That's what I thought. I think that once you find an amnesia scroll, it should be pretty clear what it's good for. Conversely, this is not the case for forgetting a spell without amnesia scrolls, which is why it's more important to explain about the latter. > - Player is told to memorise a new spell, but not to use it.

Maybe just add "And then raise > yourself an undead army!" or something to the message. Oh, good point. Seemed obvious to me, but you're right. :) > - Make the corridors between rooms wider so it's easier to bring your allies > along. Right. I thought I had to use a bottle-neck to force the player across the trigger field, but of course I can place several of them to span the corridor. > - After the hobgoblin fight, on the message about armour, maybe tell the > player to try animate skeleton over the hobgoblin corpse. That's fun :) Actually, I did consider that, but was worried it would detract from the point about armour and spellcasting. Might be nice to have, though. > - 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. I guess I can make that more explicit. The thing is that the fights can go completely differently. I tried several runs and sometimes none of my skeletons died, sometimes all of them did, sometimes I had to spam several potions, at other times Evaporate didn't factor in at all. :) However, I think I can word it as such: "If the need arises..." or something along those lines. As always, thanks for the feedback!
