I have the docs...and if it weren't for the copyright in the front cover,
I'd post a copy here.  The copyright is ten years old tho --
when does it become eligible for PC-dom?

Anyway, here's a list of the spells, to keep you going...

Fire:
  Column of Fire
  Flame Strike
  Fire Storm
  Melt
  Flame Shield
  Magic Torch

Wind:
  Tempest
  Still Air
  Wings of Victory
  Wings
  Freedom
  Wind Walk
  Breath of Life

Metal:
  Sword
  Chains
  Death Blade
  Strength
  Break Bonds
  Armor

Ice:
  Hail Storm
  Chill
  Slow
  Freeze
  Ice Shield
  Crystalight

Spirit:
   Spirit Wrack
   Weaken
   Clumsiness
   Heal
   Resurrect (never got this one to work)
   Cure Poison
   Transference
   Sanctuary

I would love to play this game again, if I didn't have to
wait 3 minutes with each encounter.  Since the copyright
is from 1986, does SSI still have the power to limit
its circulation (especially since the only platform it
was released under hasn't been produced for five years...)?
I suppose it might, which is of course their right,
but it's a shame to see such a game stifled by a 1Mhz CPU.

I can field questions about the game, since I have the docs,
but I cannot just rewrite the docs and post them as they
are under the same 1986 copyright.  Unless, of course, that
copyright no longer holds.

Neat game tho.
