"Quest for Glory 3" (PC) - Wizard's Way Quiz

Answer: Juggling Lights

Juggling lights is almost utterly useless. It costs a lot of Mana points to cast, and its effect is negligible - it will serve as a source of light, in dark areas. There are much more useful spells to learn in Tarna though.

All three other choices (Reversal, Force Bolt and Detect Magic) are spells that you have already learned in previous "Quest for Glory" games. If you haven't imported your character from an earlier game, you will have all 11 spells anyway, but will not be exceptionally good at casting any of them until you can practice properly.

Answer: Once

Juggling Lights will only be useful in one specific instance. You will need it to overcome a magical darkness that will be cast upon you by a rival sorcerer. Still, some spells are even more useless in "Quest for Glory 3", such as the "Detect Magic" spell, which doesn't need to be used at all!

Answer: Kreesha's House

Kreesha is a Magic-Using Liontaur; in fact she is the only one. Liontaurs do not practice magic, and they have forbidden its use anywhere within city limits. However, Kreesha was given permission to practice in her own house, and that is the only place where you can cast magic within the city without being arrested. Do NOT break the rules, or your game might end!

Answer: Top Right Button (keypad 9)

Dazzle is an excellent spell to cast when combat begins - it will stun your opponent for a short period of time, allowing you to begin pummeling him with powerful attack spells. Don't waste your time with "Force Bolt", as it costs more Mana and does less damage as the wicked "Flame Dart" spell.

Theoretically, it should also stun your enemy for a short while, but the combat system is a little screwy and it's hard to tell whether Force Bolt really works that way or not.

Answer: A Blue Orchid

After being told to bring one, you can locate the Blue Orchid simply by wandering around the jungle for a while. It'll be hanging quite high in the branches, but you're a Wizard, so I probably don't need to tell you how to get it down from there.

Answer: You can cast unlimited spells

At the cost of a meager 5 Mana Points (the same cost as a single "Flame Dart" spell), the Staff allows you to cast any spells you want without wasting any more Mana! If a monster ever attacks you in the wilderness, summon the staff and start blasting spells at it. You will only have to pay those initial 5 Mana Points. Moreover, any spell cast while holding the staff will be more potent than it usually is, so all your ranged attack spells will be much more deadly and may easily kill your opponent before he even gets to you!

However, after casting the staff, if you move at all it will immediately disappear, and you would have to re-summon it. The staff will also disappear once you enter into combat.

Also don't count on the staff to be a tool for practice - you will not gain proficiency with spellcasting while using the staff. Too bad!

Answer: 10

Lightning Ball is the new combat spell, which you will receive from Johari if you're smart enough to bug her about magic. It is twice as expensive to cast as "Flame Dart", and supposedly does more damage (it's hard to say). If you have a magical staff though, then mana costs shouldn't be an issue, and you should cast Lightning Ball at enemies before they can get to combat range. In combat, however, it would be prudent to stick to Flame Dart, which appears to have better results.

Still, in the next "Quest for Glory" game, Lightning Ball will be much more useful, so make sure to talk to Johari about it!

Answer: Razzle Dazzle

The snake is nothing but an illusion! By casting Razzle Dazzle, you will momentarily distract the Shaman and cause his illusion to dissipate. Other retorts in this magical duel are much simpler - for instance when the Shaman opens a hole underneath your feet, you should cast "Levitate" to stay up, and so on. Oh, and of course, your first move in the duel should obviously be to summon your Magic Staff! This will prevent you from running out of Mana during the duel.

Answer: 3

Only one potion is required to finish the game (to dispel the Leopardman Prisoner at the Simbani Village), but at the appropriate time, Dispel Potions can be used to save someone from Demonic Possession, and thus avoid combat with a powerful demon. Wizards will have two such chances, and so can use up to two extra potions.

Answer: Blow it up

The staff contains a lot of magical energy. When creating the staff, you cast all your spells on it except the "Trigger" spell. Kreesha warned you not to use that spell because it would release all the staff's energy all at once. Therefore, when the Demon Wizard grabs the staff away from you (to stop you from casting your "pesky" spells at him), your only option is to trigger the staff and blow it up along with the Demon.

But fear not - in the next "Quest for Glory" game, you will get the chance to acquire a MUCH more powerful staff.
