wine.

straining off the liquid, add three drops of aconite extract to
the decoction and stir for five minutes before bottling. It

of not causing drowsiness but otherwise acts as a Lucky Sur-
prise. The addition of Aconite must be at the tyme of prepara-

twenty minutes. This receipt should provide enough for five

slightly slow down the eater's reactions. This slowing is
cummulative for each slice eaten before a previously consumed
slice is fully digested. Only the foolhardy shude try eating the
whole pie at one sitting because of this side effect. Used with
due care, consuming a slice of pie will give the eater a useful
boost in strength when it is needed.
GLOWING PRIDE

remove the oil of which they contain. Take one Dandelyon and

so that the down soaks up the mixture. Roll the down into a
ball. Thro' practice, tis possible to increase the oil yield from
each flower.
This should take fifteen minutes. Store the soaked down in
darkness. As soon as a prepared ball of down is removed from
complete darkness, it will begin to glow. The length of tyme
that each ball will glow for, is directly proportional to the
user's experience. If the user is twice as experienced the
second tyme that this magic is used then the light will last for
twice as long. Useful in those unexpected dark places when
there is no normal light available.

simmer for twenty minutes or until it thickens. Pour into a
suitable container. It may be eaten either hot or cold.
This recipe takes an hour and forty minutes to prepare. When
eaten, this powerful mixture has two effects. The minor result

Tunderflash Spelles which can inflict serious damage on the
enemy.

resultant liquid. It is absolutely essential to discard the
sediment on consecrated ground, failing to do so will cause
you moste serious regrets.
This decoction takes twenty five minutes to prepare and
equips anyone who drinks it with a terrible weapon. For this
reason and because of the ingredients, this is a rare decoction
that you are likely to make only once in a lifetime. Careless-
ness in making it can also ensure that you only get to make it

number of Fearful Spelles that do an amazing amount of
damage to any normal creature.
POSTSCRIPTUM
Brain Ache:
When this spelle is cast upon an opponent, it reduces dexterity
by a random amount for the duration of the fight. It may be
used only once in any single confrontation.
Fearful:
This awesome spelle does terrible damage to any standard
opponent upon whom it is cast.
Fingerlight:
This more potent fight spelle casts a fork of lightning at an
opponent causing damage when it hits.
Fire Dagger:
This spelle appears and acts like a flaming, thrown dagger but
doing three times the damage of a dagger unless the target is
immune to fire. Used against a mummy, there is a chance of it
catching fire.
Fire Wall:
Lasting for 10 seconds each time it is used, this spelle stops an
opponent attacking and allows the caster to use a ranged
weapone or run away. It also destroys any ice-based weapon
as well as severely damaging any wooden weapones but these
effects also apply to the caster's weapons.
Ice Wall:
The ice version of Fire Wall, it lasts twice as long but is
almost instantly destroyed by fire-based weapones and only
allows the caster to use ice spelles for its duration.
Identify Plant:
This magickal ability is essential to allow identification of the
many plant ingredients used in the magickal arts. It is gained
by consuming Herbal Honey.

This is the greatest defensive spelle in that it eliminates all
effects from magickal ranged weapones and halves the effect
of any other weapone.
Lucky Surprise:
This potion increases the imbiber's dexterity by one tenth for
each swig but if more than one swig is taken before an earlier
one wears off this is partially negated by becoming drowsy.
Maiden's Turnover:
This causes a magickal hardening of the eater's skin which
effectively halves sword damage for a tyme.
Manticore Flip:
Similar to Maiden's Turnover but reduces sword damage to
one tenth for a much longer tyme.
Mind Locke:
This spelle is similar to Tangled Mind but of even greater
intensity.
Palmlight:
A more powerful version of Fingerlight that casts ball light-
ning at an opponent for even greater damage.
Propitious Surprise:
Similar effect to Lucky Surprise but without the drowsiness
disadvantage for multiple swigs.
Runic Reading:
This is the ability to read and understand runic writing which
is necessary to understanding and can be obtained by drinking
Alphabet Soup.
Sizzling Egges:
This gives an offensive spelle equivalent to hitting an oppo-
nent somewhat harder than the deadliest concussive weapon.
Tangled Mind:
Similar to Brain Ache but reduces dexterity by a greater
amount.
Thunderflash:
When cast at an opponent this spelle acts as a percussion
weapon which inflicts extensive damage.
