    Plot and Game Play
    ------------------
    You are a wizard who been imprisoned by your nemesis the evil wizard
    Igen. He tried an amnesia spell on you and it mostly worked. However you
    still remember 3 spells:

    1) Levitate an object
    2) Throw a small bolt of lightning
    3) Turn an object into a rock.

    You can perform only so many spells before your energy is depleted. Your
    only hope is to use the spells to escape.

    Spell potions have been stored in the cave - if you can break out of the
    first part of the cave with the little energy that you have left.

    You can push boulders or cast spells on the plants, ropes, boulders or
    any other objects to find a way out. Watch out for slate as it can be
    fragile if items fall on it.

    There are no other creatures in the cavern and as you are a wizard you
    are immortal. If you run out of spells or get stuck - as you cannot die
    - you can freeze yourself and wait for a few thousand years or maybe
    forever!

    Good luck.
