SoftSide Adventure of the Month #11 Witches' Brew By Peter Kirsch Published by SoftSide Publications, April 1982 For Atari 400/800/XL/XE (same or very similar for Apple II and TRS-80) Solution by Garry Francis ---------------------------------------- This is a minimal solution. You'll need to LOOK at lots of things for this solution to make sense. Make sure you LOOK TABLE in the kitchen to find the book of spells and TURN PAGE to read the recipe for each one. There's three altogether, one for growth, one for invisibility and one for shrinking. You can use them in any order. The first one is permanent, but the other two wear off after 5 moves, or even sooner if you enter certain rooms. You will need very careful planning with both the collection of ingredients and the use of the spells. There are some random elements, but you can control them if you follow the solution carefully.
