I find this game highly enjoyable, sometimes to new players this can be confusing, I myself was stuck there until I looked through a couple comments. I recommend this game to people to like wizards, though I do not recommend this to people who don't enjoy magic or wizards

I'm still stuck at the beginning! I memorized the spell, I collected the broom and the empty bucket, my finger got bitten by a mouse several times while trying to figure out a way to get out the mouse, went down the stairs, saw the path was blocked, went up the stairs, to the very top, couldn't do anything with the telescope, I don't know how to find the scroll I dropped in my room... what the hell?

I figured it out. First write ,,read spellbook,, and then 3 spells will show up (Illuminate,Unlock and Scribe). To memorize them, just type ,,memorize,, and then select the spell you want to memorize :)

Review stella1

This is a really awesome game! I'll rate this solely on the game, minus my problem with playing on a browser. However, I really just wish I had the pleasure of being able to do the puzzles well.

I played this game on Chrome and Firefox and the dialog boxes that comes up on the screen, and the statue puzzle, bead puzzle, and peg puzzle ends up freezing my scrollbar so I can't scroll down to see my text, or see where I placed pegs/beads. Sometimes the dialog box is out of my view and I can't scroll up to read or click on the options, making it difficult to play continuously (I had to save so much!). I really had to rely on your walkthroughs to get through it. (Except for the statue one - I downloaded the game and played it offline. Very very clever - it took me a while to figure it out but I enjoyed every second of it.) I never quite got the point of the levers though - I randomly pulled them until the items fell out.

If I could save my game offline, I'd play it offline and I feel it'd be much better.

The bremoval and badder spells are hilarious 'cause they're so literal.

The only things I'd wish for is if we could enchant potions to shorten the process. Also instead of MEMORIZE and then the popup menu, I feel it'd be easier to to MEMORIZE LEVITATE or RMEMORIZE BREMOVAL. But I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm checking out your other games now.
Comment stella1

i only know that the levers move the item up and down a certain amount but that's about it - and that if the movement exceeds the distance available to move, it clunks.

Oh bloody hell... There seems to be a problem with Quest and the Wizard images. When I load a save game, it wont show the game's images ( such as the blackboard, the peg puzzle images etc. ), but instead shows a red X ( like browsers do when the image is not found ). Has anyone experienced similar problems? Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Comment sarah4
09 Apr 2012
David23, as long as you're holding your spellbook you just need to type the command 'memorize' (or 'rmemorize' if you want to to reverse a spell's original use), then a list of available spells will appear, choose the one you need then, if you've chosen a general spell like 'illuminate' then in order to cast it you just need to type the word 'illuminate'. Other spells are 'directional' meaning they have to be cast on an object, for example the 'scribe' spell which you use to copy spells from scrolls you have found into your spellbook, in this case you just need to type 'scribe scroll'. You need to copy scrolls into your spellbook before you can use them. You have to memorize spells each time you need to use them, having memorized them once doesn't mean they are in your memory for the rest of the game. Hope this helps.

Charlotte, you need to read your spell book, memorize (sic) the illuminate spell, cast it, then explore the room while you wait for the door to unlock, it's on a timer so it will unlock itself after a bit if you're patient. Before you leave your bedroom make sure you look under the bed and find the scroll and open the dresser and put on the robe.

The sand should be near an island. If you have found the portal in the alchemy lab then when the portal changes to different colors it will bring you to different locations. DON'T enter it when it is black or you will die. I think the color that brings you to the area with the sand is blue. ( but I am not sure ). The trick then will be to get the sand in the bucket.

Aaargh, what did I do? I'm new-ish to text adventures but this seems weird. I hadn't got all that far, and was a bit stuck, so went back to try asking the control desk about secrets in the library, and a scroll popped out of the control desk. And then on the right hand side (where the inventory and all that should be - I'm playing in IE) it said 'Game Over. This game has finished'. I'm guessing there's no way out of that, but why did it happen??

command should be reach in telescope
To get out of first room type in memorize
then choose illuminate
that should light up the area
do some things in the first room for a bit (about 10 secs)
door should unlock on its own.
You can also memorize spells from the dropdown menu at the top of the screen if it still works with 5.0

To get through the front doors you will need the infamous rainbow potion. It has only one use and making it is very tedious. The shield spell only saves you from magical missles. Make sure before you enter the castle to have also the protection from fire potion or you will have to do it all over again. I think its the blue potion but not sure.

This is an awesome game. The potion mixing, the reversible spells, the puzzles; I have to admit, I had to sift thru this page more than once for help, but it was fun trying to figure it all out- I died a few dozen times at the end getting everything right, but didn't mind at all (thank goodness for the save function). I've already finished the Mansion games, and Shipwrecked is next, but I'm really looking forward to Wizard 2

I gave up on trying to do the statues from where I was, I couldn't figure out exactly what locked what. I started again and followed the instructions. Anyway... I'm at the door to the castle I have cast the shield spell but I can't get to the front door without being killed by gargoyles and such. I read in a previous post something about a lever but I can't find it.
You cast the Shield spell. You feel more than see a shield of force in front of you.
> east
As soon as grab hold of the front door handle the statues and gargoyles spring to life.
Knives, swords, darts and arrows sprout from nowhere looking to skewer you.
They do their job quite well as you are diced into tiny pieces.
You have died.
Comment Tim Hamilton
28 Apr 2011
The statues is probably the hardest puzzle in the game. I may have posted a solution to it earlier in this string of comments. Some tips to the statues. Moving certain things locks and unlocks other things on the statue. I don't remember exactly what does what. play with the other things and see what unlocks what. Save your game before fiddling with it and if you still need help let me know and I will post a solution here from your current position.

If it helps this is what I have
You are carrying:
A Spellbook, Robe (worn), a Broom, a Bucket of sand, a Yellow Bead, a Scrap note, a Yellow Bead, a small note, a Red potion, a Yellow potion and an Orange potion.

Illuminate: Lights up the area.
Unlock: Unlocks normally locked objects.
Scribe: Writes a spell on a scroll into your spellbook.
Levitate: Raises an inanimate object six feet off the ground.
Detect magic: Detects the presence of magic or magically imbued objects in the immediate area.
Enfeeble: Significantly decreases the intelligence of the wizard.

Great game so far. I think I'm stuck in two areas.
1) The statues. I've found the note in the dorm room and done as much as I can with the statues but the arms won't move down, they're locked. Heres where the statue is.
The left statue's arm is up.
It's shield is turned to the left.
It's head is turned to the right.
The right statue's arm is up.
It's shield is turned to the right.
It's head is turned to the left.

I can't move either arm.
Also where is Bremove. I've been looking for ages
Review Alunalun

TIP FOR EVERYONE
you can make potions in just three commands:
I discovered that on Quest you can separate commands with an ellipsis "..."
so copy and paste
"use bucket on glass machine... get beaker... use empty beaker on potion dispenser... "
and hit enter. Then type "push red button" (or whatever colour) and hit enter, in the normal way. Then copy and paste
"take beaker... use beaker on potion mixer... pull lever"
and hit enter.
Doing the whole lot in one line doesn't work for some reason, you have to make "push red button" a separate command, or it says "I can't see that here" and stops, oddly.

Making the potions could be a bit of a pain, so this was a great time saver I came up with towards the end of the game.

So Tim! Great game. :)

This was very fun and engaging. The spell feature where you get new infinite-use abilites was really good, and I thought there was the perfect balance between the fun exploring of new areas and re-going over familiar areas :)

I found I had to consult this page a good few times though, because the odd command "look under <object>" was needed, but I never discovered (so I didn't get the detect magic spell until very late in the game).
Also the statues I couldn't get to work for aaaages. The arms wouldn't cooperate. I worked out that the position of the arms determines if you can move the shields, and the position of the shields determines if you can move the heads, but I couldn't see at all why the arms would sometimes be moveable and sometimes not. I couldn't do the sequence that was written on that note (because the arms would be stuck), so I just had to play with the statues for aaaaages and aaaages.
All the other problems I had though, when I looked up the answer on this page, I felt a little silly for haven given up when the answer looked very achieveable :P

I will definitely be playing all your other games too!

and these spells and there reverse
Illuminate,Unlock,Scribe,Detect magic,Levitate,Enfeeble,Bremoval

I can't find charm, I can't even find the cave to it.
I don't have money so I can't do anything in the village
I can't buy the lue to make blue so I can't make green potion
So I can't get get bind from the bird, (which means I can't deal with the guy in the alley to get money)which also means I can't use unbind to open the trap door on the island.

Wow. This was a terrific game. I have to confess I started it about a year ago and got irritate with "guess the verb" of "reach into telescope" so stopped... but i'm really glad I picked it up again. Really, really fun. Bremoval and Badder were so clever. Loved the reversal of spells and all the spells in general. Portal was great and i liked the library control desk interface. I agree that potions were a PITA... i would have just made it be everlasting potions like the bucket of sand (thanks for that, btw... if we had had to go back to the beach to get sand every beaker, i think we all would have killed you :) ) I think you have an eager group waiting for Wizard 2!

You are walking along the great spiral staircase that runs all the way up the tower. The stairs continue down to the northeast and up to the top of the tower to the southeast. There is also a small doorway to the east.

SO. I can only play the online version since I have a Mac. A few things I've noticed so far: when you cast a spell, you immediately unmemorize it and you have to re-memorize it. Dunno if that is supposed to happen, but it is sort of annoying.

Online, you cannot view the casting instructions, so it took me forever to guess how to do it.

Been off the site for awhile. sorry. Glad you liked the game.
To get to the island you need to have the (b)oat and the -oars.

I do love this game. Having a hard time though.

I've got spells up through Bind, and I can make all the potions (though I haven't tried making the rainbow one yet). But I can't figure out how to get to the island.

Comment Gus Wolfgang

Ok. Before I have another aneurysm: how do I get to the island. I can't burn the brambles around me. I can't enter the water, even if I drink the yellow potion. I can't speak to the turtles. I even tried to cast Bremoval on the brambles (kind of stupid, I know. But I'm close to desperation). Somebody help.

The turtles. They mock me. I'm sad.

I am having a problem with the yellow beads, I have all but one I believe the one I am missing is the one from the Library. I read the smudged note and it says book 1112c so I request that book in the library and it just says a boring book and returns it. Any Idea what I am doing wrong?

To get the bead out of the mousehole you will need potions.
First use the one that shrinks you (I can't remember which color)
then talk to the mouse.
Use the speak with animals potion (pretty sure its the green one)
try and move the ball
Then talk to the mouse again and ask him to help you.

Oh! I just remembered if you get to the table with all the beads look up the solution earlier in the comments before you touch anything because it,s nigh on impossible and save BEFORE you enter the room .I think you need to start mixing potions it takes three machines just to make one and for some you need to mix two mixed potions {if that makes sense}
Comment sue butler

I haven,t played it for a while but I think you have to reverse the Enfeeble spell first and I can,t remember where that spell is.I think with the potions you can get on the ledge.and sort out the bird.I hope that helps.

I only have up to the bremoval spell, 4 yellow beads, I've made an empty glass beaker, and I cannot figure out what else to do. I've been to the forest, climbed the oak tree, talked to the ent, seen the spiders, tried to get passed the boars, tried collecting water from the lake, and I'm still only wearing a robe and so I can't climb the ledge, and for the life of me I cannot figure out what I need to do to move forward. It seems as though I'm missing another spell that I cannot find the scroll for anywhere either. Help?

I think this is one of the best text adventures I have played - although I have not played one for quite some time.

I am well through the game - have 13 beads, ten spells and all potions except the rainbow potion. I am in the temple and need to know how to activate the golem to get the other beads. Can't seem to do anything to the coffin or the statue. I guess I have to BE the golem to enter the east room (golem=servant?) but can't figure out how to do that.

PLease help!


Comment Tim Hamilton
07 Apr 2010
The ent will get rid of the spiders if you put out the fire for him.
To do this you will need to disenchant the bucket fill it with water then enchant it and use it on the fire. Then use the orange (firebreath) potion.(i think orange is the one). breath on the web.

I have played three of your games and they are the best text adventures I have ever played.You manage to make them exciting and interesting. Some of the authors make the text too difficult to read and its very off putting.Just one moan the table puzzle was virtually impossible.Its also brillient that you help out because I think lots of times people get so stuck they give up Looking forward to sequels and I,ve certainly learnt how to spell Gravitate,Levitate and Chandelier!!!

With most things you just can't use it on it's own. You usually need to use something on something.
You can usually click and drag things in inventory onto other things.
Which will act as if you typed use 'thing in inventory' on 'other thing'.
Yes you are right at the end. You cannot escape but you can help your fellow wizards.
Cast destabilize on the portal. You will need to cast enlighten first I believe.

That is strange. Might be a bug. I think when you leave the room it should bring you to the last room you were in. Hmmm if you saved your game in the room and then quit and restarted from there the prepackaged quest software might not save the lastroom variable and the game would not know which room to bring you back to. I shall have to not use the #lastroom# variable in the future or will put in contingencies to cope with that. sorry.

I'm stuck in the tower, because I haven't found out what happened. I WOULD resurrect mercoz and ask him, but I don't have a spell that could revive or kill someone. I have 5 beads, a bucket, the broom use for making the room and the smudged note.

All your problems are connected. The ent will get rid of the spiders for you if you put out the fire. To do this you will need to disenchant the bucket, empty it then fill it with water from the lake then enchant the bucket and use it on the fire.
If you need to make potions again after that follow the same procedure and fill the bucket with sand again.

Oh lol. When you change characters I moved all the objects in inventory to a room called wizard1. then moved all the objects in a room called golem1 into inventory and vise versa. I made an object called yourself available and the golem unavailable and vise versa. I turned the golem2 flag on to indicate you were the golem. Then I made certain items with the property 'golem'. Therefore when you went to take something with the golem2 flag set if it did not have the property golem then your hands were too big and vise versa.

Comment Tim Hamilton

Drink a green potion. try and push the ball then talk to the mouse. The eyes you get from the small boy. If it will help I can post a list of beads and their locations in a bit.
Comment GAMER!
12 Nov 2009
Could someone post a walkthrough for this game?

I've got 10 beads and 10 spells. I've done the shell game but I have no idea what to do next. I've drank the shrink potion and gotten into the mouse hole and can't figure out how to move the ball. Where do I get eyes for the statue head?
Comment Tim Hamilton
11 Nov 2009
Well I hate to tell you this alex but you are going to need to go back and make another rainbow potion. The shield spell you get when you go into the moat then southeast then north. You will be inside cell. You need to speak to the hole in the ceiling. Then you will have the scroll with the shield spell on it. But you need to do it before you pull the lever.
Comment AlexN94
11 Nov 2009
THe shield spell? Wich one are that?
Comment Tim Hamilton
11 Nov 2009
Cast the shield spell. Then he will attempt one more this one will be long and complicated.
Comment AlexN94
11 Nov 2009
What should I do when he begins to cast the second spell? And, how many spells will he casts?
Comment CJ592
11 Nov 2009
I always use the panes to do 'use A with B'. It is so much easier :)

I will try again with the end game, as I was thoroughly enjoying it. as Alex said, the Badder Bremoval stuff was great.
Your games inspire me to write more, so thanks. My last one was short (it was going to be longer but some of my ideas didn't pan out) however, it was different to my others. I try to make mine unlose-able (is that a word?) I think I may continue with that, as people seemed to appreciate it.
Comment Tim Hamilton
11 Nov 2009
Thanks Alex! Your almost done with wizard btw. I started working on wizard 2 but kind of got writers block I guess lol. So I am working on another one called barbarian. I am making this one a little easier than the other two and it asks if you are visually impaired at the begining so than when you come to a visual puzzle it will give you a description of it instead of displaying a picture.
Oh and CJ I don't know if you noticed but you can also put potions in the mixer or beakers in the dispenser by using them on it. So you can use the panes to make the potions. It is still tedious but less typing.
Review AlexN94
11 Nov 2009
I'm not finish, but I'll rate it now... A thing, wich is very nice, is the spell 'Bremoval' and 'Badder', I love them... An other thing is the spell menu, it's very ... hmm, good, how do you make it?
I love your games, both the story and the describtions, it's fantastic! I'll give it 5 out of 5 stars, and hope you'll make a new, great game...
Comment Tim Hamilton
10 Nov 2009
Thanks CJ! =) I hope you can finish. I have the load problem with all the games here unless I download the game saving it first then playing it from the spot I saved it at. When I click the open button after downloading instead of save I can never restore a saved game. I like the end sequence =(
Review CJ592
10 Nov 2009
OH well. I will still rate this game. It has been fantastic! Great puzzles, some visual and all engaging. Spell casting is user friendly, but potion making can be tiresome.
This is definitely a 5 star game
Comment CJ592
10 Nov 2009
Aaaargh! thats annoying. I am having trouble with my save game. I save just after lowering the drawbridge and entering the castle at the end. (after the hint to save) Now it's not loading.

Comment Tim Hamilton
09 Nov 2009
Thanks! =) I thought so at first but now that I realize alot of visually impaired people play these games I feel bad. In future games I am going to put an option in so that if you are blind you can still do the puzzles without the pictures.
Comment CJ592
09 Nov 2009
Wow. Thats clever. I like the way you make the table show the yellow beads
Comment Tim Hamilton
09 Nov 2009
lol you didn't read the first screen. For spellcasting instructions type instruction or just use the tab from the drop down menu.
p.s. don't believe the control desk.
Thanks btw. I try to be glitch free but have found 2 so far in this onesince posting.
Don't put anything in your dresser and don't put the bottle of sludge in the potion mixer.

D'oh. Forget that. I've just seen the tabe at the top. how long has that been there?
Comment CJ592
09 Nov 2009
Hi tim. another fantastic game so far. but I have come unstuck.
Reading up people are talking about reversing spells, but I dont think I know how to do that. Is there something in game that I missed to let me know how to do it.

I have Bremoval, but cant use it. I have illuminate, unlock, detect magic and levitate. 4 yellow beads and access to the swirling portal. I am carrying the red orange and yellow potion, if that gives you a clue as to where I am.
Comment Alex-J
06 Nov 2009
I finally figured it out! Sory I didn't relize that "memorize" needed to be typed in by itself.
Comment Alex-J
06 Nov 2009
Sorry, I know I'm missing something. I'm not sure how to memorize illuminate. I've tried memorize illuminate, use illuminate, read illuminate, speak illuminate, take illuminate, look at illuminate, memorize spell illuminate, illuminate memorize.
Comment Tim Hamilton
06 Nov 2009
I mean wear the robe.
Comment Tim Hamilton
06 Nov 2009
First memorize then cast illuminate then open the dresser look at the dresser take the robe and then put on the robe. Then wait a bit the door will unlock. it's on a timer. then you can leave.
Comment Alex-J
06 Nov 2009
Sorry I'm new at text-adventure. Can anyone give me a hint on how to leave your bedroom when your first stating the game? I've read the spells in my spellbook (but for somereason its too dark to read the actual spells). I've tried to move north, south, ect. I tried wait, and open door move to door. And other stuff like that.

You can't get stuck behind the trap door. You just need to do something about the rain.
When you finish the game don't forget to rate.

Cast bind on the man in the alley, examine him and take the purse. Cast Enchant on the purse... And you have enough money to buy the lemon and play with street merchant...

Is it in the tower? There are 18 rooms in it, and a yard outside... On the shore are 7 rooms: 2 outside and 4 inside the temple. In the forest and the town are: 5 in the forest, one between the forest and the town, three rooms outside and three rooms outside in the town. On the mountain are 5 outside and 2 inside... It is 45 rooms...
Comment Tim Hamilton
02 Nov 2009
Oh and a word to the wise after beating the strange table if you have gotten the rainbow potion. Save. Because if you go into the last part of the game without holding the correct stuff you will have to come back and make the rainbow potion again. And that's a pain in the butt.

For some reason when you make a container and check the box to make items removable it doesn't work. I don't know why. But as long as the sludge doesn't interfere with potion making then don't worry the bottle of sludge is useless in itself

By the way how did you do the spellcasting dropdown menu thing?
