Footnotes
[1] (The Game Rules) If you have completed Grey Star the Wizard, your WILLPOWER score will be zero before you begin this book. It doesn't seem fair to start this book with only 10 WILLPOWER points, so you may choose to create a new WILLPOWER score by choosing a number from the Random Number Table and adding 20. You may also choose to add the 10 WILLPOWER point bonus to this new score.
Alternatively, you may wish to use your original WILLPOWER score from the beginning of Grey Star the Wizard, and add 10 bonus points to this.
[2] (The Game Rules) If you choose Alchemy as your new Magical Power, you also receive a Herb Pouch with contents, as detailed in the Equipment section.
[3] (The Game Rules) There are sections of this book that describe how you use a Magical Power and how many WILLPOWER points you spend, without giving you a choice and without taking into account that you may not have the required number of WILLPOWER points left. You may choose to simply subtract the specified number of WILLPOWER points. This may leave you with a negative WILLPOWER score, or if it was already negative, it will make your score become even more negative.
Alternatively, you may wish to use a method given in Section 175 of War of the Wizards, which contains one such case of mandated use of magic: If you do not have enough WILLPOWER points, then you use ENDURANCE points at a rate of 2 ENDURANCE points for every 1 WILLPOWER point you lack (i.e. 2 ENDURANCE points = 1 WILLPOWER point). If your ENDURANCE score falls to zero or below, you are dead and the adventure is over.
Note that you may never choose to use a Magical Power or your Wizard's Staff if you do not have sufficient WILLPOWER points. This method also cannot be used in cases where you lose WILLPOWER 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 WILLPOWER score.
