<p><strong>In the World of Lone Wolf a new hero has arisen&emdash;Grey Star the Wizard</strong></p>
<p>You are Grey Star. From the core of a raging storm you appeared&emdash;a human child, ship-wrecked and orphaned, a gift of hope to the exiled Shianti sorcerers. Ever since that fateful night they have raised you as one of their own, teaching you the mysteries of their magic in preparation for an epic quest.</p>

<footnotes>
+ <footnote id="gamerulz-2-foot" idref="gamerulz-2"><p>There are sections of this book that describe how you use a Magical Power and how many <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points you spend, without giving you a choice and without taking into account that you may not have the required number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points left. You may choose to simply subtract the specified number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. This may leave you with a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score, or if it was already negative, it will make your score become even more negative.</p>
+ <p>Alternatively, you may may wish to use a method given in Section 175 of <cite><a href="&link.04wotw;">War of the Wizards</a></cite>, which contains one such case of mandated use of magic: If you do not have enough <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points, then you use <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points at a rate of 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points for every 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point you lack (i.e. 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points = 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point). If your <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score falls to zero, you are dead and the adventure is over.</p>
+ <p>Note that you may never <em>choose</em> to use a Magical Power or your Wizard's Staff if you do not have sufficient <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. This method also cannot be used in cases where you lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points for a reason other than using magic, for instance as a result of mental or magical attacks. In these cases, you may end up with a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score.</p></footnote>
<footnote id="gamerulz-1-foot" idref="gamerulz-1"><p>It is possible for your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> to fall below zero. For example, if you are the victim of an attack that drains your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>, your score may be forced below zero. If your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> falls to zero or below, you will not be able to cast spells or use the magical properties of your Wizard's Staff until your score is again above zero. You can still use your Wizard's Staff in combat as a normal weapon, but you must deduct 6 points from your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>.</p></footnote>
</footnotes>
<p>To keep a record of your adventure, use the <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>.</p>
<p>Before you set off on your adventure, you must discover how well your Shianti masters have prepared you for your quest by determining your fighting prowess&emdash;<typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>&emdash;your state of mind&emdash;<typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>&emdash;and your physical stamina&emdash;<typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ>. To do this take a pencil and, with eyes closed, point with the blunt end of it on to the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a>. If you pick 0 it counts as zero.</p>
<p>The first number that you pick from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> in this way represents your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>. Add 10 to the number you picked and write the total in the <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> section of your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>. (e.g., if your pencil fell on the number 4 in the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> you would write in a <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> of 14.) When you fight, your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> will be pitted against that of your enemy. A high score in this section is therefore very desirable.</p>
- <p>The second number that you pick from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> represents your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>. Add 20 to this number and write the total in the <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> section of your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a> (e.g., if your pencil fell on the number 6 in the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> you would have a <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> of 26). If you decide to use a spell or utilize the power of your Wizard's Staff, then you will lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. If at any time your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> falls to zero, you may not use any of your spells or your Wizard's Staff.<a id="gamerulz-1" idref="gamerulz-1-foot" class="footnote"/> Lost <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points can be regained during the course of the adventure, and it is possible for your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points to rise above the total with which you start your adventure.</p>

<p>The third number that you pick from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> represents your powers of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ>. Add 20 to this number and write the total in the <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> section of your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a> (e.g., if your pencil fell on the number 6 on the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> you would have 26 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points). If you are wounded in combat, you will lose <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points. If at any time your <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points fall to zero, you are dead and the adventure is over. Lost <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points can be regained during the course of the adventure but can never rise above the number with which you start your adventure.</p>

<p>You are very tired. Wearily, you close your eyes and call on the Elementals for their aid. Your chant ends, and at first, it seems that you have failed. Then you hear the sound of rushing water: a gigantic wave rises up further along the river. The foaming, white crest of the wave towers above the bridge in the shape of an outstretched hand. The watery fingers clench to form an immense fist that smashes on to the bridge, crushing it as though it were made of matchsticks, and drenching the three of you, as it washes the bridge downstream.</p>

<p>His name is Madin Rendalim, a Durenese herbwarden, famous throughout the Lastlands of the fair north for his knowledge and skill in the healing arts. He is journeying through the provinces of the Shadakine Empire seeking the Druse tree, and the clear, sticky resin beneath its bark&emdash;the only known cure for the terrible Red Death plague.</p>
<p><quote>I had found the Druse tree growing some distance from here, in the Forest of Fernmost at the foot of the Kashima Mountains. I was returning to Port Suhn to journey back to my home in Hammerdal when these ill-mannered Shadakine brutes refused to let us pass. They have closed the roads around Suhn it seems, searching for some fugitives or outlaws.</quote></p>

- <p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) It is possible for your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> to fall below zero. For example, if you are the victim of an attack that drains your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>, your score may be forced below zero. If your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> falls to zero or below, you will not be able to cast spells or use the magical properties of your Wizard's Staff until your score is again above zero. You can still use your Wizard's Staff in combat as a normal weapon, but you must deduct 6 points from your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>.</p>

+ <p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) There are sections of this book that describe how you use a Magical Power and how many <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points you spend, without giving you a choice and without taking into account that you may not have the required number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points left. You may choose to simply subtract the specified number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. This may leave you with a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score, or if it was already negative, it will make your score become even more negative.</p>
+ <p>Alternatively, you may may wish to use a method given in Section 175 of <cite><a href="&link.04wotw;">War of the Wizards</a></cite>, which contains one such case of mandated use of magic: If you do not have enough <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points, then you use <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points at a rate of 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points for every 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point you lack (i.e. 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points = 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point). If your <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score falls to zero, you are dead and the adventure is over.</p>
+ <p>Note that you may never <em>choose</em> to use a Magical Power or your Wizard's Staff if you do not have sufficient <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. This method also cannot be used in cases where you lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points for a reason other than using magic, for instance as a result of mental or magical attacks. In these cases, you may end up with a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score.</p>

<p>(<a idref="equipmnt">Equipment</a>) This Special Item can be used in combat as if it were a normal Weapon. The Jewelled Dagger's bonus to your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> should only be applied when the Jewelled Dagger is used in combat. You should not use your Wizard's Staff at the same time. This would incur the normal −6 penalty to your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> for not using your Wizard's Staff.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you may decide that the Jewelled Dagger may be wielded together with your Wizard's Staff, and thus confers its bonus in all close combats. This makes the Jewelled Dagger a much more useful item.</p>
<p>(<a idref="equipmnt">Equipment</a>) The bonus to your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score provided by the Magic Talisman is added to your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score only once and does not prevent your score from falling to zero.</p>
<p>(<a idref="equipmnt">Equipment</a>) If you have mastered the Lesser Magick of Alchemy and therefore have a Herb Pouch, you may choose to keep potions, vials, or ingredients in either the Herb Pouch or your Backpack. All other Backpack Items must be kept in your Backpack.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect15">Section 15</a>) The exact nature of this restoration of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> and <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> is unclear. There is a general consensus that you should multiply your current <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> and <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> scores by 1.5. I.e. you may add one half of your current <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points value to your score, remembering that you may not exceed your starting value; and you may add one half of your current <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> value to your score, irrespective of whether this exceeds your starting value.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect43">Section 43</a>) You cannot keep Shan's Backpack. Any items you decide to keep must be transferred to your own Backpack, or perhaps to your Herb Pouch if you have one and want to keep the Small Vial of Laumspur.</p>
- <p>(<a idref="sect101">Section 101</a>) It seems odd that Shan would not return your weapon. You may choose to assume that you get it back once the battle is over.</p>

- <p>(<a idref="sect259">Section 259</a>) There are numerous unanswered questions with this combat. The addition of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> and <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> is straightforward, but which attribute do you lower when wounded in this mental combat? A mental combat would suggest that you will lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> as this is the measure of you mental strength. It is possible to have a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score which would mean that the combat would only come to an end when the Darkling Room's <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> was lowered to 0.

+ <p>(<a idref="sect259">259</a>) There are numerous unanswered questions with this combat. The addition of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> and <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> is straightforward, but which attribute do you lower when wounded in this mental combat? A mental combat would suggest that you will lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> as this is the measure of you mental strength. It is possible to have a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score which would mean that the combat would only come to an end when the Darkling Room's <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> was lowered to 0. Using you true <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score is the less paradoxical route.</p>
<p>In either case, if your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> or <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score is lowered during a round of combat, do you then adjust your combined <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> and <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score which is serving as your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> for this combat.</p>
<p>There are no easy answers to these questions. It is up to the reader to decide which solution is most appropriate.</p>
<p>Also, you cannot use your Wizard's Staff in this combat; since the combat is mental in nature, it would be inappropriate to us it, which means that you should not be able to use <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> to multiply your opponents loss of <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ>.</p>

<p>You are the Wizard Grey Star. Your quest is to retrieve the legendary Moonstone and with its power throw down the evil Wytch-king. You must find the Shadow Gate&emdash;doorway to the magic realm where it lies hidden. When the moon is full, the Shadow Gate appears&emdash;in Desolation Valley beyond the Mountains of Morn, where you must dare <!--ERRTAG-RE-6558--><strong>The Forbidden City</strong><!--/ERRTAG-RE-6558-->.</p>
<p>The Wytch-king will try to track you down. His slaves will dog your every step&emdash;the cruel warriors of Shadaki, the phantom spirit of the Deathgaunt and the dark horror of the demon <!--ERRTAG-RE-6876-->Kleasá<!--/ERRTAG-RE-6876-->. Only your <!--ERRTAG-RE-6952-->Magical Powers<!--/ERRTAG-RE-6952--> and the might of your Wizard's Staff can protect you in a terrifying adventure of madness, magic and menace!</p>
<p>Alternatively, you may wish to use your original <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score from the beginning of <cite>Grey Star the Wizard</cite>, and add 10 bonus points to this.</p>

+ <footnote id="gamerulz-4-foot" idref="gamerulz-4"><p>There are sections of this book that describe how you use a Magical Power and how many <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points you spend, without giving you a choice and without taking into account that you may not have the required number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points left. You may choose to simply subtract the specified number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. This may leave you with a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score, or if it was already negative, it will make your score become even more negative.</p>
+ <p>Alternatively, you may may wish to use a method given in Section 175 of <cite><a href="&link.04wotw;">War of the Wizards</a></cite>, which contains one such case of mandated use of magic: If you do not have enough <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points, then you use <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points at a rate of 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points for every 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point you lack (i.e. 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points = 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point).

+ <p>Note that you may never <em>choose</em> to use a Magical Power or your Wizard's Staff if you do not have sufficient <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. This method also cannot be used in cases where you lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points for a reason other than using magic, for instance as a result of mental or magical attacks. In these cases, you may end up with a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score.</p></footnote>
<footnote id="gamerulz-3-foot" idref="gamerulz-3"><p>It is possible for your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> to fall below zero. For example, if you are the victim of an attack that drains your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>, your score may be forced below zero. If your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> falls to zero or below, you will not be able to cast spells or use the magical properties of your Wizard's Staff until your score is again above zero. You can still use your Wizard's Staff in combat as a normal weapon, but you must deduct 6 points from your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>.</p></footnote>

<p>To keep a record of your adventure, use the <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>.</p>
<p>Before you set off on your adventure, you must discover how well your Shianti masters have prepared you for your quest by determining your fighting prowess&emdash;<typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>&emdash;your state of mind&emdash;<typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>&emdash;and your physical stamina&emdash;<typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ>. To do this take a pencil and, with eyes closed, point with the blunt end of it on to the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a>. If you pick 0 it counts as zero.</p>
<p>The first number that you pick from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> in this way represents your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>. Add 10 to the number you picked and write the total in the <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> section of your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a>. (e.g., if your pencil fell on the number 4 in the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> you would write in a <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> of 14.) When you fight, your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ> will be pitted against that of your enemy. A high score in this section is therefore very desirable.</p>
- <p>The second number that you pick from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> represents your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>. Add 20 to this number and write the total in the <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> section of your <a idref="action">Action Chart</a> (e.g., if your pencil fell on the number 6 in the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> you would have a <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> of 26). If you decide to use a spell or utilize the power of your Wizard's Staff, then you will lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. If at any time your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> falls to zero, you may not use any of your spells or your Wizard's Staff.<a id="gamerulz-3" idref="gamerulz-3-foot" class="footnote"/> Lost <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points can be regained during the course of the adventure, and it is possible for your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points to rise above the total with which you start your adventure.</p>

<p>A patch of brush and foliage is pulled aside to reveal a concealed entrance. Following Sado, you enter a wide tunnel lit with torches. <quote>This tunnel leads all the way to our secret headquarters beneath the city of Karnali,</quote> he says.</p>
<p>The tunnel twists and turns for many miles before opening into a large cavern. You and Urik are given food and wine, and while you eat, he tells you of his army&emdash;the Freedom Guild, a rebel band resisting the rule of the Shadakine Empire.</p>
<p>He turns and apologizes to you, explaining that the bulk of his army is recruited from the criminal ranks of the city. You explain your quest and the land that you seek. Sado's eyes widen with astonishment. <quote>Then the legends are true?</quote> he gapes. <quote>The Shianti still exist!</quote></p>
<p>You nod. <quote>If my quest should finally succeed and I retrieve the Moonstone, the full might of their wisdom and magic will be turned against Shasarak,</quote> you tell him.</p>
<p><quote>How the people would rejoice to know that a Shianti walked among us once more,</quote> says Sado, <quote>though I understand the need for secrecy. Nevertheless,</quote> he continues, his eyes lighting up, <quote>I would ask a boon of you. Tonight, we attempt our most daring stratagem against the corrupt rule of the Shadakine. Stand with us in battle tonight, aid us if you will. With the might of a Shianti Wizard in our ranks, who knows what we could achieve!

<p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) If you have completed <cite>Grey Star the Wizard</cite>, your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score will be zero before you begin this book. It doesn't seem fair to start this book with only 10 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points, so you may choose to create a new <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score by choosing a number from the <a idref="random">Random Number Table</a> and adding 20. You may also choose to add the 10 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point bonus to this new score.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you may wish to use your original <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score from the beginning of <cite>Grey Star the Wizard</cite>, and add 10 bonus points to this.</p>
<p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) If you choose Alchemy as your new Magical Power, you also receive a Herb Pouch with contents, as detailed in the <a idref="equipmnt">Equipment</a> section.</p>
+ <p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) There are sections of this book that describe how you use a Magical Power and how many <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points you spend, without giving you a choice and without taking into account that you may not have the required number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points left. You may choose to simply subtract the specified number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. This may leave you with a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score, or if it was already negative, it will make your score become even more negative.</p>
+ <p>Alternatively, you may may wish to use a method given in Section 175 of <cite><a href="&link.04wotw;">War of the Wizards</a></cite>, which contains one such case of mandated use of magic: If you do not have enough <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points, then you use <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points at a rate of 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points for every 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point you lack (i.e. 2 <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> points = 1 <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> point). If your <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ> score falls to zero, you are dead and the adventure is over.</p>
+ <p>Note that you may never <em>choose</em> to use a Magical Power or your Wizard's Staff if you do not have sufficient <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points. This method also cannot be used in cases where you lose <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points for a reason other than using magic, for instance as a result of mental or magical attacks. In these cases, you may end up with a negative <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score.</p>
<p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) It is possible for your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> to fall below zero. For example, if you are the victim of an attack that drains your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>, your score may be forced below zero. If your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> falls to zero or below, you will not be able to cast spells or use the magical properties of your Wizard's Staff until your score is again above zero. You can still use your Wizard's Staff in combat as a normal weapon, but you must deduct 6 points from your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>.</p>
<p>(<a idref="powers">Magical Powers</a>) If your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> falls to zero or below, you will not be able to use the magical properties of your Wizard's Staff until your score is again above zero. You can still use your Wizard's Staff in combat as a normal weapon, but you must deduct 6 points from your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>.</p>
<p>(<a idref="equipmnt">Equipment</a>) If you have mastered the Lesser Magick of Alchemy and therefore have a Herb Pouch, you may choose to keep potions, vials, or ingredients in either the Herb Pouch or your Backpack. All other Backpack Items must be kept in your Backpack.</p>

+ <p>(<a idref="sect250">250</a>) From this point in the story, this book suffers from a game design problem in that many sections give you options between using different forms of magic, but no option for what to do if your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> score has reached zero or below.

<p>You are the Wizard Grey Star, chosen hero of an ancient magical race&emdash;the Shianti. To find the Moonstone, source of all Shianti wisdom, you must venture <!--ERRTAG-RE-2974--><strong>Beyond The Nightmare Gate</strong><!--/ERRTAG-RE-2974-->.</p>
<p>Dare you enter a realm of mystery, a world of gods and demons? For somewhere in this twilight region is the secret of the Moonstone. Only you can find it and with its power throw down the evil Shasarak and save mankind. Your journey will take you across the grey plains of the Neverness, past the dark enchantments of the Crystal Tower, and on towards perils undreamed of. Armed only with the Wizard's Staff and the magical spells of the Shianti, you must step into a nightmare world where only the bravest will survive!</p>

<p>They soon reach you and chatter enthusiastically as they point excitedly at both the Ethetron and the sky. You smile and nod and try to communicate with them the best you can. Their soft voices have a flute-like sound and their language, incomprehensible though it is, possesses a lilting, musical quality that is pleasing to the ear. They are Elessin and they are asking you to accompany them.</p>

<p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) This section of the rules implies that you must re-pick all three scores&emdash;<typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>, <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>, and <typ class="attribute">ENDURANCE</typ>&emdash;even though you may have already completed a previous adventure.

<p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) If you have completed book two but not book one, it seems reasonable to add 25 to the number you picked.</p>
+ <p>(<a idref="gamerulz">The Game Rules</a>) There are sections in the <cite>Grey Star</cite> books that describe how you use a Magical Power and how many <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points you spend, without giving you a choice and without taking into account that you may not have the required number of <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> points left.

<p>(<a idref="powers">Magical Powers</a>) The wording of this section of the rules seems to indicate&emdash;if read literally&emdash;that you may choose your set of Powers again if you have completed a previous adventure. This is without precedent in other books. In order to preserve consistency with other books, you should not choose your Powers again. If you have have completed at least one previous adventure, you may choose one additional Power from the list. If you choose Alchemy as your new Magical Power, you also receive a Herb Pouch with contents, as detailed in the <a idref="equipmnt">Equipment</a> section.</p>

<p>(<a idref="equipmnt">Equipment</a>) If you have completed a previous adventure, you keep all equipment you had at the end of that adventure. You do not receive any new equipment, unless you have just selected Alchemy as your sixth Magical Power, in which case you receive a Herb Pouch with contents as indicated in this section.</p>
<p>(<a idref="equipmnt">Equipment</a>) If you have mastered the Lesser Magick of Alchemy and therefore have a Herb Pouch, you may choose to keep potions, vials, or ingredients in either the Herb Pouch or your Backpack. All other Backpack Items must be kept in your Backpack.</p>

<footnote id="gamerulz-3-foot" idref="gamerulz-3"><p>It is possible for your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> to fall below zero. For example, if you are the victim of an attack that drains your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ>, your score may be forced below zero. If your <typ class="attribute">WILLPOWER</typ> falls to zero or below, you will not be able to cast spells or use the magical properties of your Wizard's Staff until your score is again above zero. You can still use your Wizard's Staff in combat as a normal weapon, but you must deduct 6 points from your <typ class="attribute">COMBAT SKILL</typ>.</p></footnote>
