  15. look XX (you will see...)

      Turning to page XX in the ancient spellbook, you read:

      CREATION OF STAVES

      The creation of a staff is a very personal thing and requires that the
      user be somewhat evil. Due to the nature of the ingredients needed for
      this staff, good-hearted people may shy away from making it. Too bad
      for them.

      Ingredients:
      Seed of Discord
      A stick
      Glob of water
      Zombie skin
      Skeleton bone
      Erlenmeyer flask

      Procedure:
      I. Grind the Seed of Discord and place it in the Erlenmeyer flask
      II. Splinter the bone into chips and place them in the flask
      III. Fill the flask with water
      IV. Heat the solution to boiling over a fireplace
      V. Stretch the zombie skin over the stick
      VI. Pour the solution over the zombie stick
      VII. Recite the following incantation:
      "The waking dead, the dead to waking
      Breaking harmony and harmony broken
      This power to you-the one to taking
      And sealing it with words so spoken"

      This will guide you through the rest of the quest.

      Location of ingredients:
      Seed of Discord -- the queen gave that to you
      A stick -- see below
      Glob of water -- in a well out behind the Servants' Entrance

      Erlenmeyer flask -- top of the central tower, on the floor
  16. To get a stick: Go to the room in the northwest corner of the area called "A small clearing" Use the command PLANT during the daylight hours (between 6am and 6pm)

      You plant a blue rose in the ground.
      You say 'Grow!' (should be automatic, if not say Grow!)
      The blue rose grows and flourishes in the bright sunlight.
      The blue rose bush drops a stick.
      Suddenly, the sun becomes even brighter, so bright even that you are blinded.
      After a few moments, the sunlight returns to normal.

  23. Go to the wizard again, and perform the following commands:
         1. grind

         2. splinter

            You splinter the magic bone into chips and place them in the Erlenmeyer flask.
         3. fill

            You fill the Erlenemeyer flask with the glob of water.
         4. heat

            You head the Erlenemeyer flask until the water boils.

            A dark, glowing energy surrounds the wizard staff.
         4. say and sealing it with words so spoken

            Screams echo about the room, then all is normal.
            the wizard says 'Well done, you have almost completed the staff.'
            the wizard sits down and thinks deeply.
            the wizard says 'However, only a true wizard can bestow ultimate power. Bring me the king's Iron Fist and you shall have my power!'
            A voice echoes in your head 'Where does your true loyalty lie?'
  25. give fist wizard (and you will see one of two endings)

      the wizard throws back his head and cackles with insane glee!
      The wizard reveals his true self!
      Lord Demise bows deeply flourishing his cape.
      Lord Demise says 'You have done well, my son'
      Lord Demise lifts his hands in the air, and your stick is transformed.
      You wield a wizard staff of Demise. (mages)

      OR
