A brief playing guide to Hexx (formerly Wizard!)

HEXXDEMO <RETURN> to get started.  Just select your sound preference.  With
SoundBlaster the game requires about 580K of conventional memory.  With other
sound cards, only 500K is required and with just Beeper sound, only 470K of
conventional memory is required.  Wizard requires 800K of EMS memory and a
Microsoft-compatible mouse driver with mouse.

                               Character Select

Here you choose your party of four.  Top line has the four warriors and the
four mages.  Bottom line has the four rangers and the four assassins.  Click on
a face to select/dismiss a character.  Having selected a character you may
click on the large image of the charater with the left mouse to display that
character's inventory and stats or with the right mouse to dismiss the
character.  With the left mouse button you may rearrange your party using the
face icons which appear in the bottom left corner of the screen.  The character
will be highlighted in red to indicate preparedness to swap position.  Right
mouse selects the character for display of stats and inventory.  Click on one
of the Exit tapestries to finalise your party selection and proceed to the main
game.

                                   Main Game

    The game has three main modes of console which I shall hereafter refer to
as "Normal Mode", "Inventory Mode" and "Big-View Mode".  The game commences in
Normal Mode.

Movement is via keyboard or by holding down the left mouse while the cursor is
in the view window.

                                Inventory Mode

Selecting a character's face with the right mouse button or pressing F1-F4 will
enter or leave Inventory Mode.  Inventory Mode is very similar to Normal Mode.
The main difference is that you have access to more of your party's inventories
than just the hands.

There are sixteen inventory slots assigned to each of the four characters.  The
first six of these are reserved for armour types; helmets, armour, gloves,
shields, boots, amulets.  An item in one of these special slots is deemed to be
equipped/worn etc.  Amulets tend to enhance a character in some way.
    The other two slots on the top line of the inventory are duplicates of the
character's hands.  An item in the hand will also be accessible here and vice
versa.
    Clicking on item slots in the inventory will take/give/swap the item if the
left mouse button is used.  The right mouse button is for shooting a bow,
drinking a potion, casting a scroll, casting a ring/wand/staff, eating food,
stashing a bag of gold.  Bows, rings, wands, staves may only be used (right
mouse) when in a character's hands (or hand slots)
    Common keys and arrows behave a little differently.  They can be pooled
into clumps of upto ninety-nine.  Typically, the left mouse button will take a
whole pile while the right mouse button will take only one or will take one
more.  To shoot a bow, the bow and the arrows to be used must be in the
character's hands.  The bow is used automatically in combat along with all
other normal weapons.

    There are further icons available in Inventory Mode.  The compass behaves
as in Normal Mode to access either the map or Big-View Mode.  The crossed
swords is as before to launch either normal combat or normal plus magical
combat.  The continuous effect area has been obscured and a new one now exists
just beneath the character's faces.
    Further available icons are Options, Stats Display, Exit Inventory,
Pool/Share Gold, Change Current Inventory.
    The icon beneath the crossed swords will display the current character's
stats.  This comes in two pages.  Use the left mouse button to toggle between
the pages and the right mouse to regain the bank of icons.  Here you are able
to see a character's experience and how hungry/fed a character is.  The levels
of food satiation are Starving, Ravenous, Famished, Hungry, Peckish, Fed, Full,
Replete, Glutted, Stuffed.  There is no point feeding a stuffed character.  A
character who is starving will not heal normally.  The better fed a character
is the faster the character will recover any vitality lost during play.  The
characters begin the game full.
    Experience is gained during play.  All characters receive equal experience
unless dead.  A dead character will not receive experience.  Experience enables
a character to "make a level break".  This will make a character more powerful
and grant extra spells.  Mages gain extra spells at every level break; Rangers
gain spells at every even level; Assassins gain spells on every level divisible
by three, Warriors gain spells at every level divisible by four.
    Level breaks are gained when a character has attained the following totals
and will only be granted during sleep.
Level  2    2000
Level  3    6000
Level  4   12000
Level  5   25000
Level  6   40000
Level  7   60000
Level  8   80000
Level  9  110000
Level 10  140000
Level 11  170000
Level 12  200000
Level 13  230000
Level 14  270000
Level 15  310000


                                 Big-View Mode

You can enter Big-View Mode either by clicking with the right mouse on the
compass icon (either from Normal Mode or from Inventory Mode) or by pressing
F10 on the Keyboard.  Fewer icons are available in Big-View Mode but those
remaining are adequate for most of the time.  Big-View Mode is really only
recommended for faster machines although speed may be adequate on mid-range
machines if the detail is turned down (by pressing the Tab key to select one of
three settings or see Options below).
    The icons available in Big-View Mode are (as above) the face icons, the
hand icons, crossed-swords icon, spell name icon, name boxes.  It is
recommended that any required spells are selected prior to entering Big-View
Mode as the book is not available.  You may leave Big-View Mode by pressing F10
or by clicking on a face icon with the right mouse which will enter Inventory
Mode with the selected character's inventory.
    As with Normal Mode and Inventory Mode, dropping items onto a character's
face with the left button will deposit the item into the character's inventory.
The character will equip armour/amulets if the relevant slot is currently not
in use, eg. if a character is currently wearing leathers and you drop chain
mail into his inventory he will not remove the leathers, if the character was
not currently wearing the leathers, however, then the chain mail would be worn.
    The continuous effect area is now on the bottom line just beneath the
right-most face and hand icons.


                                  Miscellany

Next to the face icons are two bars, the yellow one indicates current hit-
points as a measure of current maximum and the purple bar is spell points.

The horizontal blue bar is the current vitality of the character whose book and
spell are currently selected.  The more blue the better.  A character has more
difficulty casting a spell when low on vitality.  The character's food level
determines the rate of vitality recovery.  Holding an item called Angrath's
Heart will also boost vitality recovery.

Game detail is selectable from the Tab key or from Options (see below).
Gameplay is in no way compromised by reducing detail but the speed gain may be
significant.  Slower machines may require the lowest detail setting and not
find Big-View Mode at all comfortable.

A gamesave to RAM may be effected from the R key.


                                     Beds

During dungeon exploration, you will find beds.  Click on a bed with the right
mouse to send your party to sleep.  The party will always wake up hungrier than
they were before sleeping unless they are already starving.  Sleep allows much
increased recovery rates of spell points and hit-points and only during sleep
may a character gain levels or learn new spells.  Note that a starving
character will not heal hit-points.
    If a character is due to learn a spell then the gods of magick will visit
the character during sleep.  Click on a god to select its class of spells.
Follow any prompts.  Any gold required will be taken first from the character
gaining the spell and then from the rest of the party if that character is too
poor.


                                     Shops

There are several shops selling items and consumables.  They are invariably
tucked away in alcoves behind wooden doors with signs scribbled on the wall
outside.  Opening the door will enter the shop.
    The shop has two pages of shelves which may each be accessed by clicking on
the arrows above the shelves.  Clicking on exit shop will leave the shop.
Clicking on an item on a shelf with the left mouse will ask the shopkeeper for
a price.  Clicking with the right mouse will purchase the item if the character
whose inventory is active has sufficient funds.  The Pool/Share gold icon will
be of help during shopping.  Clicking on the shopkeeper while carrying an item
with the left mouse will ask the shopkeeper for a price; using the right mouse
will sell the item.  The shopkeeper almost always makes a profit and is not
prepared to haggle.  Any rings/wands/magical-staves bought from the shopkeeper
will be fully charged so you may wish to sell an item and then buy it back in
order to recharge it.  The shopkeeper will add any non-consumable item to the
shop's inventory if there is free shelf-space so that you may buy the item back
at a later time.  If the shelves are full, the item will be discarded.  Note
that the item may go to the other page of the shop's shelf-space.


                                Regen-Chambers

You will find regeneration chambers from time to time.  Their location may well
be worth noting.  Entering a regen chamber will bring any dead party members
back to life.


                                 Action Cursor

While the mouse cursor is not within the view window, the cursor will be a
pointing hand.  Use the very tip of the graphic to access any icons.  In the
view window, the cursor can take two forms; the pointing hand or the
grabbing/action hand.
    While the cursor is a pointing hand a click in the view window with the
right mouse will aim and cast any spell currently selected.  While it is the
grabbing/action cursor you may: pick up items from the floor; open doors; use
levers or buttons; remove some special items from walls.
    You may also carry items in the hand.  While you are carrying an item, the
cursor will change to show what is carried.  Clicking with the right mouse in
the view window while carrying an item will: drop the item; throw the item;
attempt to use the item (key) to unlock a door.



                                 Spell Casting

Spells may be cast in one of four ways: right mouse on the crossed swords icon,
which will also initiate combat (space bar is a duplicate of this function);
clicking on the spell name icon; clicking with the right mouse on an item in a
character's hand or inventory (scrolls only); by clicking with the right mouse
in the view window (this will also aim the spell where applicable).  If a spell
is not aimed, the character will do the aiming.  Characters are often more
accurate than you are.

The cost in spell points to cast a spell depends on a character's ability as a
magic user and how tired the character is (vitality bar).  A spell will always
cost at least one point and will have greatest effect if cast when the
character is fully rested (vitality var on full).  If the cost of a spell is
greater than one point then waiting for the character to recover will not
increase the effectiveness of the spell but will reduce the cost of the spell.
Being fed speeds a character's recovery rate.  Casting a spell tires the
character as reflected by the vitality bar.  The Amber Amulet greatly reduces
the tiredness due to casting many of the spells.  At later levels characters
can effectively machine-gun their damage spells at the hapless foe.

                                    Options

You may enter the Options menu by hitting the Esc key during play or by
clicking on the options icon in Inventory Mode.

    You may have upto five active gamesaves; each represented by a small image
of the view window at the time of making the gamesave.  Save and Load are
pretty obvious.  A save description must be terminated with Enter/Return.  Esc
will clear the name or abort the save without modifying the disk.  RamRestore
will restore the last position from RAM.  This is done automatically after
party death.  Save to RAM is done during play by pressing the "R" key and is
done automatically on loading a previous gamesave.  Note that making a gamesave
does not affect your RAMsave position.  Note that your RAMsave is lost when you
quit the game; switch off your machine; have a power cut etc.
    Quit to Dos will return you to Dos.  Please ensure that you have made a
gamesave should you wish later to resume from your current position.
    Mouse speed is selectable at three settings.  The default setting is the
middle one.
    Game detail is selectable at three settings.  Note that a reduction in
detail does not compromise gameplay.  The default setting is maximum.  The
middle setting will disable the display of the ceiling during play.  The lowest
setting will disable both floor and ceiling.  The TAB key allows detail
selection during play.
    The larger view in the bottom left corner is your current position.  This
is updated after a LOAD from disk or after a RamRestore.  Return to game will
return you to play.


                                      Map

The game map can be accessed by pressing F9 on the keyboard or by clicking with
left mouse on the compass (not available in Big-View Mode).  Your current
position and direction are indicated by a small blue arrow.  Note that while
viewing the map, the game is effectively paused.
    Clicking on the map icon in the top right corner of the screen will allow
you to view maps from other towers throughout the game.  Up/Down icons will
allow you to view other levels of the currently selected tower/dungeon and the
purple exit icon will return you to play.


                                    Combat

Combat in Wizard! is partially automated to leave you free to manipulate your
party, its inventory and select and cast spells.  Archers will get on with
aiming and firing arrows and the characters will keep hitting at anything in
range.  Combat will be cancelled if the characters find that the monsters are
out of range.  Monsters will hit at the closest character so you can often
provide yourself with a short respite by turning your party to present the
best-healed or best-armoured character to the attacking monster.  Note that it
is not possible to rearrange your party order once into the game.  This can
only be done during character select.

                        Characters in Wizard!

    Each of the characters available in Wizard! is to one degree or another
magic-using, although some are a lot better at it that others. There are four
classes available:

    Warriors
    Although weak in the use of magic, this class are first-rate fighters who
belong in the front rank of your party. They have high strength and can
therefore do great damage to monsters in close combat. Warriors may learn a new
spell at every fourth level.

    Wizards
    The most powerful spellcasters available, Wizards are an invaluable asset
to any adventure. They learn spells rapidly, at the rate of one per level break
and can inflict enormous harm on monsters with their magic. They do not make
very good fighters however, and should be placed at the rear of the group for
protection.

    Rangers
    Second only to Wizards at magic and to Warriors at combat, Rangers fulfil a
very useful role. They are tough enough to be placed at the front for melee
combat whilst at  the same time blast at their foes with barrages of deadly
spells. Rangers may learn a new spell at every second level.

    Assassins
    When placed in the second rank this unique character class are potentially
the most lethal fighter/mages of all. They have a special back-attack which can
inflict triple damage to a monster  when they hit one from behind, providing
they use one of the special thief weapons such as a Dagger or Stealth Blade.
They also make the best archers and can detect illusionary walls. Magically
they are fairly adept and may learn a new spell at every third level.

         One character from each of the four classes available is aligned to
one of the four schools of magic, dictated by the lost Gods, which affect the
spells they are best able to cast.
    E.G.: Zastaph Mantric, the Earth Wizard, is better at casting Earth magic
than Karnak Necretius, who is a Chaos Wizard.



                      The Characters available:

    Blodwyn Earthmother, Earth Warrior
    Golems, as a rule, tend not to be too gregarious and usually shun the
civilised areas of the land. However, they are very loyal and have long
memories, so when Blodwyn was rescued from imprisonment in a glacier with a
fiery blast from the then young Zothen Runecaster, she vowed to help the cause
of humans whenever she could and so became an adventurer. She starts the game
with the spell of ARMOUR.

    Astroth Slaemwort, Chaos Warrior
    Being an Orc, it would be far more natural to find Astroth fighting in
favour of the forces of darkness, as he once did during the Chaos wars of the
year 1200. But Astroth was betrayed and sold to the Ghast slavemasters by a
particularly evil clan chieftain known as Knucklebane. He later escaped and now
searches in all the dark places and monster infested dungeons for his
adversary, the role of adventurer suiting his purpose, for now. He starts the
game knowing the spell of DEFLECT.

    G'Narr Helmcleaver, Dragon Warrior
    Legends tell of an order of Dragon-Knights who came from the far North
bringing death to all creatures of evil intent. Although G'Narr is not of that
order, for they died out a thousand years ago, he is devout in his pursuit of
their beliefs and is a mighty adversary to all who fight for the Evil One. He
starts the game knowing the spell of MISSILE.

    Tarnak Wythenbane, Night Warrior
    Hailing from the Great Northern rift, where the winters can last for nine
months and the days seldom last longer than a few hours, it is not surprising
that Tarnak's people were blessed by Shaspuok, the Shade of Night. What is more
unusual is that one of them should travel to the warmer Southern lands
apparently seeking fame and fortune. But Tarnak's village was destroyed by a
band of marauding Ratmen and now, due to some obscure sense of honour, he must
hunt and destroy all manifests of evil, no matter where the quest takes him. He
starts the game knowing the spell of CONFUSE.

    Zastaph Mantric, Earth Wizard
    Earth Wizards are traditionally wanderers, travelling from village to
village, healing the sick and generally protecting the goodfolk from evil
attacks. But Zastaph is a descendant of the legendary Berserker, Slyzaar
Mantric, and although his vocation is different, Zastaph has inherited the
motivations of his illustrious ancestor. He still travels the land like any
other Earth Wizard, but usually as a monster-hunting adventurer instead of a
local village shamen. He starts the game knowing the spells ARMOUR and HEALING.

    Karnak Necretius, Chaos Wizard
    Many have misunderstood the followers of the Chaos God and they are
generally feared and shunned by normal folk. This distrust is reasonable as
most of the followers of Chaos also misunderstand the doctrine of their God and
usually become evil-doers. Karnak suffers from none of these illusions, he
understands the true nature of Chaos is the natural force of the universe and
has thus vowed to fight evil, even when he must kill his own kind, as this too
is true to Chaos. He starts the game knowing the spells DEFLECT and TERROR.

    Zothen Runecaster, Dragon Wizard
    As a young man Zothen would travel the land in search of monsters to toast
with his newly acquired skills. During one such adventure he fought a band of
Ice Trolls who had captured a female Golem and imprisoned her in a glacier. He
defeated the trolls at great cost to himself and managed to free the Golem,
Blodwyn Earthmother. Since that day they have been firm friends and often fight
together. He starts the game knowing the spells MISSILE and TORCH.

    Mad Meg Nightwych, Night Wizard

nature. On the one hand she is gentle, helpful and protects the weak whilst on
the other she has a rage incomparable in it's ferocity. As a young woman she
would often fall foul of people she met due to this and so earned her name. She

be appreciated without prejudice. She starts the game knowing the spells
CONFUSE and PHAZE.

    Sethra Boaghail, Earth Ranger
    Banished from the his lush jungle home by his race for some wrong-doing
that he never speaks of, Sethra is a quiet but purposeful character. Lizard-

people ruled in their great cities of gold. He starts the game knowing the
spell of ARMOUR.

    Borgath Axeldeth, Chaos Ranger

down steep hills. He does, however, have a strong sense of personal honour and
will protect his comrades with his life if needs be. He starts the game knowing
the spell of DEFLECT.

    Mistral Merrywater, Dragon Ranger

apprentice to the Wizard Zothen. Banished from her village for refusing to
marry a local squire, she has carved a reputation for herself as a strong
fighter and talented mage but she is ever seeking more dangerous enemies and
hazardous quests. Mistral is still young but ambitious and feels her destiny is
to set an example to all women showing that they can easily beat men at their
own game. She starts the game knowing the spell of TORCH.

    Banath Dreamslayer, Night Ranger
    The great cities of the land offer havens to all kinds of lowlifes, thieves
and cuthroats, so having your own personal bodyguard is an aspiration almost
all nobles possess. Banath used to work for a minor guild-lord until his
master's entire estate was burned down in an unfortunate accident, leaving him
without work. Using his aptitude for night work he began to travel the cities
of the land searching out troublemakers and evil-doers, in return for
recompense from the local merchants. Upon learning of the Evil Wizard's plans
he realised that here was a real quest with probably a real reward too! He
starts the game knowing the spell PHAZE.

bidding. But when Blakth-Roth was slain by a rampaging mob, the spell he held
over Gnarleth was broken, freeing him from his bonds and enabling him to choose

instead of evil. He starts the game knowing the spell of MISSILE.
