Level 15: Zyggogg

There's a minor sound issue in this level, where you enter in a room via a teleporting mirror, which is linked to some automaticly closing doors to prevent furhter access (unless you do excavate with the crater spell). Those doors are scripted to shut and stay shut (i think), all the while doing their opening/closing sound, which keeps going on until you end the level. Luckily, I decided to enter that room later in the level, and dealt with it near the end of the video, so you won't be bothered too much with that sound.

Started to using much more intesively the 'quick spell selector' feature. When you open the spell list (using CTRL) you can hover a spell and hold shift while pressing the left or right mouse button, to add that spell to a 'quick spell cycle list'. After populating that list with the spell you like to use the most, during normal play you just have to hold the shift key and keep pressing the left (or right) mouse button to cycle that list until your spell pops up. I do that with fireball+lightning+meteor+speed on the attack (left mouse) and possess+rebound on my defense list (right mouse).

Also, I learned to do the barrell roll only now (pressing left and right simultaneously), after 20 years ! Not that i would have used that maneuver frequently anyway, even if I knew that 20 years earlier... Helps to dodge, but after 20 years spent on strafing in ANY fps shooter, helps you train your eye a bit. And if monster hit me anyway, well.. it happens. Not a big deal. I'm not trying to do a hardcore nodamage run, right?
