O.K, I've finally given up.
I cannot figure out what these things do:
PROTECT Spell
STAFF
WAND
A few years ago, I discovered that the CROSS, when "used," doubles the damage your sword/dagger attacks do to undead, such as Ghouls, Vampires, and Vampire Bats. SHIELD Spell temporarily grants you a "magic shield +," and the others are obvious enough- but not those 3.
The version I'm playing is the ColecoVision version, but any info on these things on any version (Atari, Commodore 64, etc.) would help. How do you use them?
Quite frankly, I'm beginning to wonder if, on the CV version, they have any use at all.
