Frequently Asked Questions

1. Question: I can't get the game to work!?! I click on the button and nothing happens!?!
   Answer: There are two things that "A Spell 4 All" needs to work:
   1: ActiveX content must be enabled - That's what reads the javascript that is the "inner workings" of the game. 2: Cookies must be enabled as well. This is how the game keeps track of progess and allows you to save/load the game between sessions. 3: Currently "A Spell 4 All" is NOT MAC FRIENDLY. At all. Sorry. 4: FireFox and/or MS Internet Explorer (v5 or later) are recomended if not explicitly required. if you wish to use a different browser, realize that you do so at your own risk.

2. Question: I got the game to work, but now I can't cast a spell. What do I do?
   Answer: Two pointers and a hint:
   1: You MUST have the book in your inventory to learn any new spells.
   2: You MUST have MANA in order to cast spells. How do you get that? Play the game. If you see an option to discuss something with someone - try it. The game is designed to lead you through the first few steps in a very small environment to teach you what to do and where to go.
   3: One little hint. You must "USE" a magic stone to extract its Mana, and this must be done in a place that carries its own magical power/undercurrent. There. Now have fun!
   

3. Question: I've noticed a Bug/Flaw/Exploit in the game. What should I do?
   Answer: There is a thread in "General Chat" category in the Forums at "The Collective" that is the intended place to post error reports. Alternatively you could email FirstBorn if you'd like a more direct route.

4. Question: Why doesn't the site contain full nudity or sex scenes?
   Answer: In the past, this was out of respest to the host service, and the general public, that no material considered blatantly pornographic be used. With FirstBorn taking over the trend will more than likely continue out of respect to Wizard and his initial intentions.

5. Question: Is any of the material protected by copyright by other individuals or business entities?
   Answer: All images, stories, and dialogue has been supplied by either the EMCA project group (in the past) or by the "Collective" and its members in versions produced by FirstBorn. That being said, to the best of our knowledge all content is considered freeware. However, if an individual produces evidence to the contrary then the item(s) in question will be removed at the earliest possible time. The inclusion of anything in this game does not infer any implications of copyright by Wizard, FirstBorn, nor the Collective in any way.

6. Question: Are there any cheats or hints?
   Answer: There are no deliberate cheats known to FirstBorn and no technical documentation is supplied with the game.

   If your suggestion and/or submission meshes well with the feel/intent of the game then it will be incorporated into the game in subsequent versions.
