I have played the game.  From day one, I realized that ABM changed the
spell numbers.  No big deal.  I would have liked to know all the spell
numbers but ABM changed them.  Now I have to go through the trouble of
experimenting and mailing letters and spending money.  Real money. The
whole point of a FAQ (especially a game FAQ) is to increase enjoyment.

I am compiling a list of all kinds of info about the game.
When it's in mailable form, I'll post it for people to read if they want.

I wonder.  Bob, do you enjoy the game when you play, even though you
know so much about it?  All the correct numbers for spells, all the
dungeon locations, all the tricky ways of doing things?
