items and spells. Your initial inventory will be built in this town, so
be sure to buy enough items. After leaving this town, you will begin a

valuable information - be sure to talk to everyone!

TO TALK, STAND IN FRONT OF THE PERSON, AND PRESS UP.

You must be facing each other to be heard. Sometimes the character will
ignore you. Don't worry; try to talk again, they will answer within

THE STORY UNFOLDS...

Long ago in a land far, far away there lived the peaceful people of
Merlwood. Merlwood was a small but beautiful country with tall
mountain ranges, deep forests, and a large lake filled with fish. The
people of Merlwood had all that anyone could want: good food, good
friends, and great surroundings. At this time, there were powerful
wizards and magicians throughout the land. THe art of magic had been
refined until all aspects of life were in some way related to magic.
The magicians controlled all of Merlwood's major activities, keeping
everything in order, without adversely affecting anyone's lifestyle.

Then the inevitable happened: one of the most powerful magicians
decided that he was tired of always helping the people. He figured that
with a little help, he could easily rule over them, and become the
richest, most powerful wizard in all the known land. His name was
Abadon.
------------------------------------------------------------
Page 8

Abadon used his power to conjure up all sorts of evil beasts, then he
went deep into the eastern mountains and built a massive castle. After
this was completed, he sent his evil followers out into the
countryside, with their first mission being to destory all of the most
powerful wizards of the land. Because Merlwood was such a peaceful
land, he accomplished this with unbelieveable ease, destroying all of
the most powerful wizards, and converting most of the minor magicians.

While all of this was going on in the east, Paul, a young apprentice
Magician from Serenna, a small village on the western border of
Merlwood, was preparing to depart on his Magician's trek. In order to
become a Magician, an apprentice must first travel to the distant
corners of the land to learn all of the secrets from the ancient
masters. Just as Paul was preparing to depart on his quest, word of
Abadon's treachery came to Serenna. There are no wizards left to fight
the evil Abadon. The only hope left seems to lie in you, Paul, a simple
teenage Apprentice - out to defeat the most powerful Magician in all
Merlwood!
----------------------------------------------------------
Page 9

Good luck - your mission will be long and difficult, filled with epic
battles and magic spells. Along the way, you will meet many friends who
can teach you spells, and give you scrolls. There is only one real
hope to defeat Abadon: the ancient Ultimate Potion.

Legends say that if the four vials of the elements can be brought
together, the ultimate potion will be formed. This is your only hope,
Paul: search out the vials of Earth, Air Fire, and Water, form them
into the Ultimate Potion, and confront Abadon!!!

BACKPACK SCREEN INFORMATION

MANA

Mana is the amount of magical pwoer you currently have available. This
value is displayed on the BACKPACK screen.

This slowly and constantly increases up to your current maximum mana
level. This maximum level determines your rating, which is displayed on
the BACKPACK screen. It is increased as you play the game by solving
the various problems.

Your current mana level is decreased as you build and cast spells. The
amount of decrease depends on aspects such as the power level, type of
spell, etc.

GOLD

Gold is the amount of money you have available to buy items in shops,
and also for use with various problems. This value is displayed on the
BACKPACK screen.

HEALTH

This is your current physical state. This is displayed on the BACKPACK
screen.

It is increased by HEAL potions, and also increases slowly with time
(as does the health of the enemies).
-------------------------------------------------------------
Page 14

It is decreased slowly if your food or water level reaches zero, if you
are hit by bullets, poisoned or harmed by enemies, etc.

As it deteriorates, you will be periodically warned by different
messages. If it reaches zero, you lose your life.

FOOD

This is your current food level. This is displayed as a percentage on
the BACKPACK screen.

It is increased by varying amounts by eating food items from your
BACKPACK.

It is decreased slowly as you progress through the game.

If it reaches zero, you are warned by a message, and your health starts
to deteriorate.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Page 15

WATER

This is your current water level. This is displayed as a percentage on
the BACKPACK screen.

It is increased by drinking from your water flask. The number of drinks
remaining in the flask will be displayed each time you take a drink,
and under the flask icon in the BACKPACK.

It is decreased slowly as you progress through the game.

If it reaches zero, you are warned by a message, and your health starts
to deteriorate.

VENOM

This is the current level of poison in your body. This is displayed as
a percentage on the BACKPACK screen.

If the value is over zero percent, the value will start flashing.

It is increased by being hit by venomous bullets (usually green) or by
being touched by venomous enemies.

It is zeroed by using anti-ven potions.

Roughly 1/12th of this value is periodically subtracted from your
health, so it is wise to always keep a very close check on this value.
The player is always warned by a message and sound-effect whenever he
is affected by venom.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Page 16

SHIELDS

There are four different types of shields, each protecting you from
different types of bullets. The current level of each shield is shown
on the BACKPACK screen. If the level of a shield is greater than zero
percent, when you are hit by a bullet or enemy, the bullet will bounce
off you with a special sound effect, or the enemy will do no damage to
you. Each hit depletes the relevant shield a little. When the shield is
down to zero, further hits start affecting your health or venom level.

NOTE: Most enemies also have the same types of shield at their
disposal.

The physical shield protects you from physical damage. Your physical
spells are RAZOR, AXOR, BOOMERAXE, BOULDER, SPEAR (colored brown in the
SPELLBOOK). The shield also protects you from enemies which hit, stab,
or bite you.

The ven shield protects you from venom. Your only venom spell is VEN
(colored green in the SPELLBOOK). The shield also protects you from
enemies which poison you on contact.

The fire shield protects you from fire. Your fire spells are FIREBALL,
FIRESTORM, FIRE RING, FIRE SPRAY (colored red in the SPELLBOOK). The
shield also protects your from other types of fire damage.

The power shield protects you from power damage. Your power spells are
DISPEL, LIGHTNING, REPELLENT, EXORCISE, DEATH RING, PSYCHIC (colored
blue in the SPELLBOOK).

PLAYING HINTS


---------------------
| THESE HINTS |
| WILL HELP YOU |
| IN YOUR QUEST. |
---------------------


* Be sure to talk to everyone who will listen - powerful information
awaits those who ask for it.

* Get the Help Scroll in level one. When in doubt, use it - it will
really help!!!

* Always carry lots of food and water.

* Build Shields to help defend against enemy attacks.

* Look everywhere; there are hidden items which must be found to
complete your quest.

* Whenever possible, use the staffs to fight - you won't use any Mana.
----------------------------------------------------------
Page 34

* Write the spellnames in your manual in the provided spaces; this way,
when you start again, you can save valuable gold by building spells
instead of buying them.

* Try to determine which weapon spells are best for which enemies; the
enemies can be wearing magical shields just as you do. If a weapon
bounces off an enemy, he has a shield to protect him from that weapon;
try another, or continue shooting until you wear down that shield.

* You do not have to defeat all enemies; learn which must be defeated,
and which can be avoided.

* Don't be upset if you find yourself totally stuck in a situation
where the only option is to start the quest all over again. This is not
a typical Role-Playing Game. You will almost certainly miss something,
or not be powerful enough, so that you may have to start the game over
in order to successfully complete the full game. That's just a day in
the life of a Magician dude!

* LIMITED SAVE FEATURE: This game has a limited save feature, which
will allow you to save at anytime, but only a total of 15 times per
game. For this reason, it is wise to save your saves!!! There are
enough saves to save once at the beginning of each level, and once
more inside each level. You should try each level, find the hardest
point in the level, and then save right before that point.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Page 35
