Sorcery!	comment	Sorcery! is a Gamebook series that is a spin-off of Fighting Fantasy, intended as a Darker and Edgier companion series aimed at adults. It comprises four volumes, which form one large over-arcing adventure:note The Sorcery Spell Book, an illustrated version of the spellbook eventually provided as part in the other volumes, was also published. The Shamutanti Hills KharÃ© — Cityport of Traps The Seven Serpents The Crown of KingsYou have the option of playing as a wizard or a warrior; wizards are given lower initial stats than warriors but can use the spell system, which consists of three-letter codes the player has to memorise and various items involved in the casting of spells. The series was designed chiefly to be played as one epic, but each volume can be played separately. It was written by Steve Jackson (the British one).The plot is as follows: the Kingdom of Analand is given a magical crown, the Crown of Kings, that is passed around each year to a different kingdom as it grants the power to rule wisely. But something wicked happened: one night, Birdmen stole the Crown and took it to the cursed castle of Mampang, where rules the nefarious Archmage who has decided to rule over the land of Khakabad. Analand decides to send a single warrior/wizard in order to retrieve the Crown.All four books have now been released by Inkle as iOS, Android Applications and PC compatible games as of 2016. On the 23rd of June 2022, all four chapters are compiled and released as a Single Game for the Nintendo Switch. The video game versions start out as relatively straightforward adaptations but gradually diverge, adding much new content and changing characters or locations. See the Sorcery! video-game page.The series has twice been adapted into a multiplayer adventure for Tabletop RPG campaigning, once for use with the d20 system and another for the Advanced Fighting Fantasy system itself.Not to be confused with Sourcery.

Sorcery! / int_17ce80aa	type	All There in the Manual
Sorcery! / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: As noted above, the spellbook was originally printed separately from the gamebook itself.note The spell book was originally part of a boxed set with The Shamutanti Hills, but this went out of print because of retailer resistance to boxed sets at the time. Ultimately the books were reprinted with the spellbook included in the back. The Sun Serpent, being The Unfought (it's already captured by Fenestra prior to the story's events) is the only serpent whose stats aren't revealed at any point of the book. Supplementary materials would reveal that it's quite a dangerous opponent if faced directly, with SKILL 13 (a score shared with its direct counterpart, the Moon Serpent) and STAMINA 18. If slain in battle, the Sun Serpent will turn into a Sun Jewel. In Sorcery! 4: The Crown of Kings, there is a creature encounter who is aggressive if you act meek but is submissive instead if you act aggressive, with no further background detail provided. According to Steve Jackson (author for the original gamebook), the creature's name was apparently Nibdum, a mutant from the results of the experiments in Mampang. These unmentioned details were written into the adaptations by Arion Games' Advanced Fighting Fantasy as well as that of Inkle.

Sorcery! / int_18bf4326	type	Anti-Magic
Sorcery! / int_18bf4326	comment	Anti-Magic: The Minimites are small sprites with an aura that prevents the use of magic at short range. It is quite problematic in the first book where one such creature, Jann, takes a liking to the protagonist and follow him around, refusing to leave even when asked to. Worst, the aura doesn't protect against hostile magic cast from outside it, only preventing spellcasting. Plus, since spells are Cast from Hit Points, you don't find out about the aura until the first try, costing you STAMINA, as the little twit never bothers to warn you. One of your spells can do this, deflecting any magical spells used against you.

Sorcery! / int_1b2b1d2c	comment	Violation of Common Sense: In the first book's encounter with headhunters, if you succeed in testing your Luck you die no matter what (you jump over a pit only to be caught by another obstacle). You need to be Unlucky to stand any chance of surviving. The Archmage offers you the Crown of Kings in return for your sword and the condition that you leave at once. Does this work if you take him up on it? Of course not, but somehow it doesn't get you killed and is in fact the most direct and harmless way to finish the encounter.

Failing to find all four spell lines in KharÃ©, going the wrong way in the Mampang Fortress, or failing to get the secret of any of the Throben Doors also isn't really advised. If you're playing The Crown of Kings as a warrior instead of a wizard, it is still possible to win provided you don't miss the She-Satyrs right at the beginning of the book.

Sorcery! / int_1cb6d160	comment	Weaponized Stench: One of the spells wizards can access is the NIF incantation, which creates a toxic cloud of noxious gas that causes anyone exposed to it vomit uncontrollably, and in some instances (such as when used against enemies with large noses) will actually kill them outright. Unfortunately, this spell affects the caster as well and they have to use a pair of nose plugs before casting it. In the mountainous areas of Kakhabad live the skunkbear monsters, which are essentially giant skunks. When a skunkbear feels threatened, it sprays a nauseating secretion from a gland underneath its tail, making the enemy gag from the stench and reducing their Skill score.

There are windows that open to a huge height, causing death to anyone who falls from them (as you will find out if you try using an inoperant FAL spell). Jann tells you he refuses to jump outside the window to enable your spells. But you are not given the opportunity to pick up Jann — who, remember, was originally described as being finger-sized — and throw him outside the window. Yes, it would be an awful and evil thing to do, but wouldn't desperate times call for desperate measures?

It's also a less complicated method comparing to using the ZED Spell (should the player have assumed the role of a wizard), since summoning the genie wouldn't drain a massive chunk of the player's lifespan or screw up the transportation process, leaving players stuck elsewhere thanks to incorrect use of the ZED spell.

Sorcery! / int_6331ba26	comment	Plot Hole: Incorrect use of the ZED spell in The Crown of Kings can send you as far back as the beginning of The Shamutanti Hills... with all your inventory, including several spell-casting items that you shouldn't be able to acquire for several books, intact. This problem was caused by the series not being written as a whole, but one book at a time. It was thankfully corrected in the 20th Anniversary reprint wherein you have all your items reset to the beginning specifications, money included, but you get to keep the ability scores at their new maximum. If you eat Mutant Meatballs and transform to look like the same race/species as Mampang's guards, you will gain the same advantage as if you killed the Seven Serpents. However, if you meet Cartoum and use this special advantage, he will be described as being surprised to see a human just like him. Which doesn't make sense if you have been transformed. One of the secrets of the Throben Doors is held by Naggamanteh the torturer. If he doesn't recognize you (because you killed all of the Seven Serpents), then the encounter makes sense. If he does recognize you, then he will happily give you the secret of the Throben Door if you compliment his torture chamber and lets you go despite knowing full well who you are and what your mission is, which makes rather less sense. Unless, of course, taking good care of his torture chamber really means that much to him. The encounter with the Sleepless Ram gives you the option to use an item which can never be obtained in any of the books, although this may have been a cunning plan to catch cheaters out.

The game gives you the opportunity to cast it only once, near the end of the fourth book (it is possible to find out what it does before that). Which you better — turns out that ZED is a spell for traveling through time. If you learn before what it does, you are specifically instructed to concentrate very hard on exactly what you want to achieve, and will do just that. If not... well, you get a completely random rolls whose results range from 2 different fates worse than death ( Either becoming stuck in the prehistoric past or in the distant future millions of years after life on the planet... with a bone-chilling note that "without control of the spell, you will eventually deplete your STAMINA trying to recast it, and have no hope of ever returning to your own time."), and several that players would probably consider that anyway (the cruelest probably being to return to paragraph 1 of the Shamutanti Hills! From the very end of the last book!). Also notable for being so powerful that minimite antimagic auras can't stand it. You use it to escape from a prison cell in which you're trapped alongside the one from the first book, who is crippled and dying, and the final sight you see before being transported through time is his body convulsing in agony as his aura overloads with your magic.

Sorcery! / int_9e236a98	comment	Sliding Scale of Gameplay and Story Integration: The spellbook was originally a separate entity to the gamebooks themselves, sold in a boxset with The Shamutanti Hills. This was because in-game, you weren't allowed to take the spellbook out of Analand and had to rely on memory alone. However, the need to make the volumes work as standalones and the unpopularity of boxsets with retailers at the time meant that this was quickly abandoned; by the time The Seven Serpents was first released the spellbook was now printed in the back of the gamebook, even though this made it easier to cheat.

In the last book, you can try to use the Creature Copy spell while fighting the hobgoblin chef, by using a golden-backed mirror to summon a reflection of your enemy. But that only backfires as the hobgoblin chef, realizing you're casting a spell, decide to smash your mirror instead, where the shards will end up in your eyes and blinds you permanently.

Sorcery! / int_fc07d409	comment	Hopeless Boss Fight: The Sleepless Ram is a marbled statue that is absolutely indestructible, and trying to fight it directly will have you being trampled to death. You can obtain a vial of liquid from Dintainta or cast a quicksand spell to slow it down, but your best bet is to flee from its assault and make your way to the next exit. In the fourth book, you meet a freaking huge Hydra with the heads of gods in a cave. It has huge stats and if you manage to hit it, it will automatically strike back and cause injury to you. What you're supposed to do is lose a round and the Hydra will be revealed to be an illusion.
