Magic is fading in the land and people have come to the Enchanters Guild to see what can be done. Suddenly, a shadowy figure appears in the middle of the Guild and turns everyone (except you, of course) into small amphibians. You chase the figure out of the Guild and your adventure begins.

Each of the games in the Enchanter series is more difficult that its predecessor, and this, the third in the series, is extremely difficult. Many believe it to be the hardest of all the Infocom games. If you're looking for some hard-core brain teasers, than Dave Lebling has created the game for you.

Note: Because magic is failing as a power, it affects your spell casting ability. You may have to relearn and recast spells when they fail. Save the game often, as a failed spell can sometimes leave you in a tough spot.

This is a variation on the old coin weighing puzzle. It is pretty complicated, but if you follow the steps below you should identify the correct cube and end up in the sand room. If you do not, restore and try again.

Step 1

Step 2

GET X3 AND X4. PUT X1 AND X2 IN THE FIRST PILE. JINDAK. If the piles are even then go to step 3. If the piles are uneven then go to step 4.

Step 3

GET X1. PUT X7 ON THE FIRST PILE. JINDAK. If the piles are even then BLORPLE X8. If the piles are uneven then GET X7. BLORPLE IT.

Step 4

GET X1. PUT X7 ON THE FIRST PILE. JINDAK. If the piles are even then BLORPLE X1. If the piles are uneven then GET X2. BLORPLE IT.

Step 5

PUT X1, X2, X7 ON THE SECOND PILE. GET X9, X10, X11 AND X12. PUT X9 ON THE FIRST PILE. GET X6. PUT X6 ON THE SECOND PILE. JINDAK. If both piles are equal go to step 6. If the piles are uneven the same way they were in step 1, go to step 7. If the piles are uneven in the opposite way they were in step 1, go to step 8.

Step 6

Take all the cubes off of both piles. PUT X10 ON THE FIRST PILE. PUT X11 ON THE SECOND PILE. JINDAK. If the piles are even then GET X12. BLORPLE IT.
