FEUD

"No one knows 'ow long they have been 'ere; even old Albert don't
recall 'em comin'an''e reckons 'e might he over 'undredt. We didn't
mind when they kept themselves to themselves. I mean all we wants is a
bit o'piece an' quiet an' leave to go about our business. We're simlple
folk 'ere in Little Dullford and we can't be don' with magic an' spells.
I never did 'old with folk meddlin' in things best left alone. We'd see
'em o'course; in the forest pickin' toadstools an' suchlike, or p'raps
one would pop into Tubby Hieke's shop for 'erbs an' stuff, but by an'
large they left us normal folk alone, and that's 'ow we like it.

They'd 'ad arguments before, we all know that. Well, readin' them magic
books all day they can't be right in the 'ead can they? Anyway, two
summers back, or maybe three (I remember because that was the year
Albert's donkey died), old Leanoric (he's the older one I think), he
turned 'is brother Learic into a frog! His own brother! but he turned
'im back after a week an' at least they didn't bother us. Two weeks
back, all this changed; first the forest went quiet for a few days, not
even a sparra' dared to make a sound. Then the noises began, first
shoutin' then all manner o' bangs, explosions and things best not
thought about. Yesterday, old Leanoric upped an' left an' moved to
another 'ut on t'uther side o'village. Hieke (who knows'em better'n
most), reckons they's about to start a feudin' an' woe betide the poor
soul who gets in their way. That as maybe but there's strange things
afoot in this 'ere village an' no mistake. lt don't take no fancy book
learnin' to figger we 'ain't seen the last o' this, you mark my words."

You take the role of Learic and playing the game is simply a matter of
moving through the kingdom collecting ingredients to make spells. You
are able to mix these spells and use them against your opposing Wizard
LEANORIC, but remember LEANORIC is doing the same and is out to destroy
you.

spell is mixed then you will be armed with it. Pressing the fire button

arm yourself with a spell on the cauldron screen. Having armed yourself
with a spell you can cast it by pressing the fire button. Some spells
can only be cast once whilst others may be used a number of times. Most
spells act as necessary when cast, however some of the most destructive
ones such as lightning and fireball will need some control to become
effective. It is up to you to find out how to control your spells.
