Zork II - Spells

Spells

12 of the spells are cast commonly throughout the game, the other seven are only cast by the wizard in special circumstances. The twelve common spells are:

  • FALL - causes the target to stumble and fall, sometimes fatally
  • FANTASIZE - causes the target to hallucinate
  • FEAR - causes the target to become afraid of the caster
  • FEEBLE - temporarily reduces the target's carrying capacity
  • FENCE - prevents the target from going anywhere
  • FERMENT - makes the target drunk, movement becomes random
  • FIERCE - causes the target to become aggressive, may cause the sword to glow red
  • FILCH - causes the target to be moved to the caster's inventory
  • FIREPROOF - causes the target to become immune to fire
  • FLOAT - causes the target to levitate
  • FREEZE - paralyzes the target, preventing any action but waiting
  • FUMBLE - causes the target to drop what it is holding

The seven special spells are:

  • FLUORESCE - causes the target to emit light; cast on the adventurer by the wizard if the lamp runs out of power and the adventurer is in the dark (if the player has scored over 200 points).
  • FRY - destroys the target (cast on the adventurer by the wizard if the player attempts to attack the princess)
  • FUDGE - produces the smell of chocolate if cast by the player, transforms the player into a fudge statue if cast by the wizard. Cast by the wizard (fruitlessly) if the player requests the demon to "give me the wand"
  • FREE - frees a captive target; used by the demon on himself if the player poorly phrases the request for the wizard's wand
  • FROBIZZ, FROBOZZLE, FROBNOID - cast by the wizard near the game's end in an unsuccessful attempt to control the demon (if player requests the demon to kill the wizard)

Famous quotes containing the word spells:

    “It cannot be denied that for a society which has to create scarcity to save its members from starvation, to whom abundance spells disaster, and to whom unlimited energy means unlimited power for war and destruction, there is an ominous cloud in the distance though at present it be no bigger than a man’s hand.”
    —Arthur Stanley Eddington (1882–1944)

    “I had an old axe which nobody claimed, with which by spells in winter days, on the sunny side of the house, I played about the stumps which I had got out of my bean-field. As my driver prophesied when I was plowing, they warmed me twice,—once while I was splitting them, and again when they were on the fire, so that no fuel could give out more heat. As for the axe,... if it was dull, it was at least hung true.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Listen. The minstrels sing
    In the departed villages. The nightingale,
    Dust in the buried wood, flies on the grains of her wings
    And spells on the winds of the dead his winter’s tale.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
