Description             : The Mage Returns offers a large, 

                          well-designed level stocked full

                          of creatures, weapons and 

                          powerups.  At difficulty levels 2 

                          and 3 the game is modestly 

                          challenging.  At higher 

                          difficulty settings, it's a great 

                          fight!  You'll get the Mace in 

                          the first room.  Other weapons 

                          are easy to find and well-placed 

                          -except- the Hellstaff which 

                          requires a bit of thought to 

                          gain.  Puzzles exist and it takes 

                          a bit of strategy to find the 

                          Blue Keycard.  Visible clues are 

                          provided for secret rooms.  

                          There's enough ammo at higher 

                          difficulty settings and just the 

                          right number of powerups.  Enjoy!

Base                    : New level, made from scratch

Editor(s) used          : WinDEU 5.24

Known Bugs              : Disciple/Mace bug. If a Disciple 

                          appears in the very first room, let 

                          him kill you.  Due to a quirk of the 

                          game, the Mace weapon oftentimes 

                          appears as a Disciple.  This should 

                          not happen.  If you let him kill 

                          you, you'll regenerate and hopefully 

                          get the Mace.  The Mace is essential 

                          to play balance so it's to your 

                          benefit to get it!
