Don't you just love it when you're trapped in a wizard house and you have to puzzle your way out? One of my favorite IF tropes. Fairly straightforward but can be VERY frustrating, especially if you are not a Word Puzzle Doer.

YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT ISSS. And if you don't-- it's a seminal giant of the IF genre flexing her wordplay muscles magnificently.
