Floyd | "Well, you've really done it now, haven't you?" Arthur says
Floyd | sarcastically, with a flick of the tail that suggests that, if he were
Floyd | human, he would be rolling his eyes. Normally you ignore his snarky
Floyd | comments, but now at those words you can't help but burst into tears.
Floyd |
Floyd | "There, there," Arthur says, sounding alarmed, "you can fix this!
Floyd | Enchantress Igmenta won't be back until midnight!"
Floyd |
Floyd | "It's hopeless!" you say, your voice muffled in your arms, "I can't do
Floyd | anything right!"
Floyd |
Floyd | For years, you've been laughed at as the witch who can't even perform
Floyd | a simple ignition charm, whose potions invariably turn into black
Floyd | sludge, and whose spells send people running from electric green
Floyd | fireworks. Tonight is your coming of age test, and you've been trying
Floyd | desperately to do the spells you'll be tested on in the room where
Floyd | you've been learning magic for the past eight years. Your classmates
Floyd | like to joke that you should never be allowed out of the Pentacle
Floyd | Chamber because it's the only magic-proof sanctuary for miles around.
Floyd | It's unfortunate that the items contained in it aren't
Floyd | magic-proof, though--a minute ago, a wayward Ventus charm, intended to
Floyd | produce a warm spring breeze, instead sent a tornado ripping through
Floyd | the room! Vials of potion are shattered on the floor, torn pages from
Floyd | spellbooks float in the air, and the Goddess statue has been smashed
Floyd | into a million pieces! How can you, the worst witch in West
Floyd | Witchington, fix the mess--and learn the required spells for the
Floyd | test--before midnight?
| Plover says, "hi" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "Hey" | ||
| Plover says (to Floyd), "l" | ||
Floyd | test--before midnight? Floyd | Floyd | A few pointers before you start: Floyd | Floyd | Use spells by CASTing them AT objects. To see a list of spells you Floyd | have learned, SPELLS. Floyd | Floyd | If you get stuck, ASK Arthur ABOUT your problem. He may have more to Floyd | say if you ask him again or progress further in the puzzle. To see a Floyd | list of appropriate topics to ask him about, TOPICS. Floyd | Floyd | To see a list of things you have left to fix, TODO. Floyd | Floyd | To see the minimum verb list for this game, VERBS. Floyd | Floyd | To see more about this game, ABOUT, and to see the list of credited Floyd | testers, CREDITS. | ||
| Plover pushes the green 'space' button. | ||

Floyd | Normally it's crammed with students practicing, studying, or listening Floyd | to a teacher's lecture, but tonight it is just you and your familiar Floyd | Arthur, facing the disaster you have wrought. Floyd | Floyd | A workbench that bows under the weight of a huge cauldron stands in Floyd | one corner beneath an unassuming wooden shelf and next to a Floyd | battered-looking potions cabinet. A bookcase towers over the rest of Floyd | the room from another corner, and faded chalk circle drawn on the Floyd | floor marks the room as essentially one big conjuring circle.. Set Floyd | into the eastern wall is the altar door, currently blocked by a pile Floyd | of rubble that used to be the Goddess statue. Set into the Floyd | western wall is the door that leads downstairs to the rest of the Floyd | Library Arcana. Floyd | Floyd | Several bottles of potion have fallen from their shelf and shattered Floyd | all over the floor into a sticky mess. Floyd | Floyd | On the bookcase is the crystal ball's stand. But where is the crystal Floyd | ball? Floyd | Floyd | A number of spell books have fallen to the floor in an accusatory Floyd | heap. Floyd | Floyd | Torn pages are strewn about the room. Floyd | Floyd | There is a shimmering puddle on the floor. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see Arthur here. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Protagonist, use the bowl, not the staff." | |

Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > ABOUT Floyd | Floyd | Charming is a short, light, puzzly game. Writing it began Floyd | around September of 2015; two programming language switches, many Floyd | hiatuses, a college graduation, and two missed IFComp deadlines later, Floyd | Kaylah Facey is thrilled to finally release it to the public.

Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > TODO Floyd | Floyd | The following tasks remain: Floyd | Floyd | (NEW) Repair the torn spellbooks. Floyd | (NEW) Replace the broken statue. Floyd | (NEW) Separate the spilled potions. Floyd | (NEW) Repair the potions bottles. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "A bit of an info dump at the beginning, isn't it?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "A bit." | ||
| DavidW asks, "Are we going too fast or too slow for everyone?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "I can't exactly throw with stones regarding verbosity." | ||
| DavidW says, "I want to go a bit slower, at least at first." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "The start was a bit fast, but I think we can go." | ||
| DavidW says, "I think we need to see SPELLS next, followed by examining everything without touching them or casting spells yet." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Sounds like a plan." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "spells" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > SPELLS Floyd | Floyd | You have learned 1 out of 12 possible spells: Floyd | Floyd | Ventus: A spell which produces wind.

| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x alchemy page" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X ALCHEMY PAGE Floyd | Floyd | You won't understand it until you've put it back in the book. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "I... can we just PUT ALCHEMY PAGE IN ALCHEMY BOOK?" | |
| Knight_Otu says, "We can try." | ||
| DavidW says, "I know I said not to touch anything but I have itchy fingers suddenly." | ||
| DavidW asks, "May I?" | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "We can't cause a catastrophe without spells, I hope." | ||
| Knight_Otu says, "Go for it." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "put alchemy page in alchemy treatise" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > PUT ALCHEMY PAGE IN ALCHEMY TREATISE Floyd | Floyd | (first taking the alchemy book page) Floyd | Floyd | You put the alchemy book page into A Treatise on Alchemy and Floyd | are relieved to see that the jagged edges match exactly. In a moment, Floyd | however, your relief fades as you realize that you still can't read Floyd | the book! In addition to that, the alchemy book page threatens to fall Floyd | out of A Treatise on Alchemy every time you move it. There Floyd | must be a way to make them stick together... Floyd | Floyd | Arthur stretches luxuriously. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW says, "I was afraid of that." | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x bench" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X BENCH Floyd | Floyd | A solid wooden table that has survived generations of magical abuse, Floyd | albeit with all of the stains and scratches one would expect from such Floyd | treatment. Taking up much of the space on the table is a large Floyd | cauldron. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Yeah, that seemed likely." | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x cauldron" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X CAULDRON Floyd | Floyd | Double, double, toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble! Floyd | Floyd | In the copper cauldron is an old wooden spoon. Floyd | Floyd | > | Roger says, "technically that's called 'tipping in', I believ" | |
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x spoon" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X SPOON Floyd | Floyd | An old beaten up wooden spoon. Floyd | Floyd | (You can STIR something COUNTER-CLOCKWISE or CLOCKWISE WITH the Floyd | spoon.) Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Let's not stir up double trouble yet." | |

Floyd | Floyd | It is hard to believe that the books, scrolls, and other manuscripts Floyd | that the shelves are crammed, stacked, and piled high with compose Floyd | only a very small subset of the Library Arcana. Floyd | Floyd | On the bookcase is a silver stand. Floyd | Floyd | Arthur sniffs at a patch of floor. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X ALTAR DOOR Floyd | Floyd | The altar door is beautifully painted, but you wince to see the statue Floyd | of the Goddess spilling out of it. Floyd | Floyd | Arthur grooms himself. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x statue" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X STATUE Floyd | Floyd | The Goddess' opalescent eyes peer up at you from the Floyd | debris--disapprovingly, it seems.

| DavidW says, "We might have to risk a VENTUS on those rocks." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x door" | ||

Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X LIBRARY DOOR Floyd | Floyd | When Enchantress Igmenta comes to get you, she'll come through that Floyd | door. You're trying not to look at it too much. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X PUDDLE Floyd | Floyd | As you examine the shimmering puddle, you realize to your horror that Floyd | it is the crystal ball, melted! Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Ohhh." | |
| DavidW says, "Yikes." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x Arthur" | ||
Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X ARTHUR Floyd | Floyd | Arthur is your familiar. He looks a lot like a well-fed black Floyd | housecat. Floyd | Floyd | Arthur bats at a shadow on the wall. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | Without a mirror, you can't really look at yourself, but you know what Floyd | you'd see if you had one. Your curly hair is always tangled into Floyd | disarray, your cheek or nose always smudged by a spot of dirt or Floyd | paint, and your robes always marred by rips, burn marks, and stains of Floyd | every colour. To top it off you're perpetually dusted by a thin layer Floyd | of chalk. People constantly help you put yourself to rights--this Floyd | morning, your mother was careful to make you perfectly presentable for Floyd | your test--but within minutes, you always return to your natural Floyd | chaotic appearance. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "Have we done.. right." | |
| DavidW says, "I haven't examined the individual pages, but I think that's everything." | ||

A witch who was Floyd | careless of the dosage could find herself staring into the void for Floyd | days or even weeks. In 1248, the practice was forbidden to novices Floyd | after one unfortunate young witch went into a trance that lasted Floyd | almost fifteen years! Luckily, the 1557 discovery of aether made the Floyd | practice of looking into the starry void safe for all with even a Floyd | shred of magical ability, though it lasted only as long as it could be Floyd | levitated, as aether passes through containers even wind cannot Floyd | escape. During the 1601 Paris Conference of Sorcery, a mass of aether Floyd | was held before a group of diviners for almost a week before the Floyd | enchantress keeping it afloat collapsed of exhaustion. It wasn't until Floyd | the World Alchemical Exhibition of 1690 that Xylli Zzyllious (best Floyd | known for the invention of the Xyzzy charm) proudly displayed a new Floyd | kind of magically reinforced glass--soon to be known as Floyd | dragonglass--that was capable of holding aether.

Floyd | Floyd | Ingredients: evening glories (originally nightshade), earth, sage, Floyd | elixir-of-life (originally mortal draught), breath-of-life (originally Floyd | corpse's sigh) Floyd | Floyd | Instructions: Crush evening glories and combine with earth in a Floyd | smooth paste. Combine paste with elixir in a copper cauldron. While Floyd | burning sage with Firelight (originally simply burning a summoning Floyd | candle), stir mixture first counter-clockwise 4 times, then clockwise Floyd | 2 times.

Aether is unique in that at this time, no Floyd | incantation has been written that can summon it. Instead it must be Floyd | produced through high alchemy.

Other philosophers, citing the fact that it Floyd | has thus far proved impossible to break aether into other elements, Floyd | posit that aether is the only true element, on which all other Floyd | elements are based. Their position is based on the argument that fire, Floyd | earth, water, static, and wind are all composed of aether and an Floyd | impurity, so that once elements are introduced to each other that Floyd | naturally destroy each others' impurities, only aether remains. No Floyd | attempt to separate one of the golden five elements into aether and Floyd | another substance has yet succeeded, however.

Dragonglass was first created as a means of holding aether Floyd | for scrying. Early experiments involved creating a sphere of Floyd | dragonglass through traditional glassblowing techniques with the Floyd | addition of animated lightning before levitating aether into the Floyd | sphere; it was difficult, however, to create a sphere of the correct Floyd | size to hold the aether.

Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > CONSULT CHARMING ABOUT MAGICAL EDUCATION Floyd | Floyd | Looking up magical education in Charming, you see: Floyd | Floyd | Magical Education Floyd | Floyd | Magical education has a widely varied history. Before 1700, little Floyd | is known of it, as very few texts survive from that day, due in part, Floyd | no doubt, to various rashes of witch hunts. After 1700, it's more Floyd | clear what methods were used. Between 1700 and 1800, most education Floyd | was done by parents or, if there was a sufficiently diverse community, Floyd | by groups of unrelated witches. The latter method was preferred where Floyd | possible, as it allowed novices to learn disciplines besides their Floyd | parents'. Regardless of which method was employed, however, students Floyd | often suffered from large gaps in knowledge, and standards between Floyd | communities varied widely. In 1800, Alina Crabtree changed all that. Floyd | She saw the issues with the educational methods of her day and thought Floyd | that they could be ameliorated by one, golden standard. In her quest Floyd | to determine what needed to be taught and when, she traveled around Floyd | Europe interviewing families and communities on their practices. After Floyd | 10 long years of accumulating data and writing her spellbook (at the Floyd | time titled Spells for Students of Magick), Alina distributed Floyd | the curriculum she had devised, along with copies of the book, amongst Floyd | a number of communities. This curriculum also included the original Floyd | version of the coming-of-age test--the first standardized test of Floyd | magic--that most young witches today must pass before they can enter Floyd | secondary training. She then proceeded to conduct interviews over the Floyd | course of the next 20 years, honing and rehoning her suggested Floyd | teaching method. Over those 20 years 12 editions of the book now known Floyd | as Charming were born.

To Floyd | reduce the risk, most witches have some form of guard on their books. Floyd | Some rely on physical locks and keys, but more often a magical lock is Floyd | employed. Still greater security is enjoyed when the books themselves Floyd | are enchanted. Some books are simply "tethered" to a particular Floyd | location; the disadvantage of this method is that they may still be Floyd | copied by anyone who manages to secure enough time in the witch's Floyd | dwelling. Other books are enchanted so that they may only be read by Floyd | the enchanter or their coven; unauthorized readers see only gibberish. Floyd | Another very common method of spellbook protection, which is employed Floyd | instead of or in tandem with other methods, is that of making a Floyd | spellbook render itself illegible in the case of damage.

It is hoped that by understanding it Floyd | better, we can better fight those who would use it to gain power for Floyd | themselves. Floyd | Floyd | ...

Floyd | Take any word or phrase (from a real language or not), and put a dash Floyd | of Magical intention behind it, and you'll have a gibberish spell. Floyd | With a little more intention, you could even develop it into Floyd | a real (minor) charm. Mostly such experiments are harmless, but Floyd | nevertheless we caution you to exercise extreme Floyd | caution--on more than one occasion a young witch has been Floyd | seriously injured or even killed after a poorly judged attempt at Floyd | inventing a new spell. Floyd | Floyd | The most famous example of a gibberish spell is the Abracadabra Floyd | charm, which was designed by Abraxas Hodge in 1682 to do nothing at Floyd | all as part of a bet with Xylli Zzyllious to see who could come up Floyd | with the most useless spell. Xylli's entry was the Xyzzy charm, which Floyd | imbues its target with a faint scent of peppermint. That Yule and at Floyd | every Yule following while the two sorcerers lived, they debated who Floyd | won the bet, with Xylli contending that a spell which does nothing Floyd | isn't really a spell and Abraxas countering that the Magical Floyd | intention and predictability of it mean that it is. It became Floyd | such a holiday tradition that now every Yule in Ealderley when the Floyd | Wizener Waritchers' Consulate (of which Abraxas and Xylli were both Floyd | members) meets for their annual game of Hex Hoax!, two delegates are Floyd | nominated to carry on the Great Debate. At the end of the session, Floyd | votes are taken, with the winner (the formal rules of the competition Floyd | specify that the win is only for the duration of the current Floyd | calendar year, and should not be taken as a conclusion to the Floyd | debate) receiving the dubious honor of buying or making the Whisky Floyd | Fairy Cake the following year. It's rumoured that the spirits of Xylli Floyd | and Abraxas sometimes, when provoked, contact contestants with Floyd | particularly stinging jabs at the opposing party's argument.

Experienced practitioners Floyd | sometimes can hold everything focused in their minds' eye and don't Floyd | require diagrams, but this requires absolute concentration to avoid Floyd | the spell fizzling out and therefore shouldn't be attempted by Floyd | novices. Floyd | Floyd | Some common diagrams: Floyd | Floyd | Conjuring Circles: Most witches' first diagrams are conjuring (or Floyd | summoning) circles, which are used to define the scope of magic. Most Floyd | conjuring circles are not simply for mental focus; they are also Floyd | enchanted to prevent any magic from leaving the bounds of the circle. Floyd | This both prevents the expenditure of energy to extend a spell further Floyd | than necessary and prevents those outside the circle from experiencing Floyd | the spells' effects. In magical practice chambers, summoning circles Floyd | are especially important, as young witches' efforts often have Floyd | destructive consequences. Floyd | Floyd | Triangles: Triangles are used in spells that require Floyd | triple-focusing, usually for a subject, an object, and an observer or Floyd | stabilizer. Floyd | Floyd | Pentacles: Pentacles are used in spells with a lot of moving parts Floyd | that need to be carefully kept in balance.

Floyd ] Exits: E W Pentacle Floyd | Chamber Floyd | > Floyd | > CONSULT CHARMING ABOUT DIAGRAMS Floyd | Floyd | Looking up spell diagrams in Charming, you see: Floyd | Floyd | Diagrams Floyd | Floyd | Diagrams are used to focus and direct complicated spells with a Floyd | lot of moving parts.

Experienced practitioners Floyd | sometimes can hold everything focused in their minds' eye and don't Floyd | require diagrams, but this requires absolute concentration to avoid Floyd | the spell fizzling out and therefore shouldn't be attempted by Floyd | novices. Floyd | Floyd | Some common diagrams: Floyd | Floyd | Conjuring Circles: Most witches' first diagrams are conjuring (or Floyd | summoning) circles, which are used to define the scope of magic. Most Floyd | conjuring circles are not simply for mental focus; they are also Floyd | enchanted to prevent any magic from leaving the bounds of the circle. Floyd | This both prevents the expenditure of energy to extend a spell further Floyd | than necessary and prevents those outside the circle from experiencing Floyd | the spells' effects. In magical practice chambers, summoning circles Floyd | are especially important, as young witches' efforts often have Floyd | destructive consequences. Floyd | Floyd | Triangles: Triangles are used in spells that require Floyd | triple-focusing, usually for a subject, an object, and an observer or Floyd | stabilizer. Floyd | Floyd | Pentacles: Pentacles are used in spells with a lot of moving parts Floyd | that need to be carefully kept in balance. Though the classic model is Floyd | of a five-pointed star within a circle, any circle with points that Floyd | connect to all other points on the circle is referred to as a pentacle Floyd | by witches.* Floyd | Floyd | *Mathematically speaking, of course, only the Floyd | five-pointed model qualifies.

A bookcase towers over the rest of Floyd | the room from another corner, and faded chalk circle drawn on the Floyd | floor marks the room as essentially one big conjuring circle.. Set Floyd | into the eastern wall is the altar door. Set into the western wall is Floyd | the door that leads downstairs to the rest of the Library Arcana. Floyd | Floyd | On the bookcase is the crystal ball's stand. Floyd | Floyd | A number of spell books have fallen to the floor in an accusatory Floyd | heap.
