Aaahhh.. yes. I did something similar with my first playthrough, although I didn't focus my Wiz training as you did, so their spells weren't high lev. This is the first RPG of any kind I've ever played.

I had a bad monitor, so I couldn't see worth a plug nickel. I wandered the forest gaining points and levels, though. I was still trying to get the crystal with the Bauble stick when I finally broke down and ditched the bad monitor. What a difference!! I had used the flags to mark where the Nymph Lake shoreline was because I couldn't see the water even in the daytime! I listened for the sound of the water and then marked a blue flag in the map.

Probably my favorite "blind date" in the early days traveling the Gael Serran, was meeting up with the Bone Lord in front of the Crypt! They ran helter skelter through the woods in abject terror back to the town gates while he cast spells and summoned more skeletons to torment my party! [img]smile.gif[/img] They were still there when we came back out of the town.

If you really want to have a fun, scary time, try turning the monitor or game lighting down so you can't see well at night or in the dungeons. It's a whole new experience when you can't see well, and if you think about it, wouldn't that be a more accurate experience?
