Magic

We at the Frobozz Magic Encyclopedia Company see no need to reinvent the wheel for the Abridged edition of the Encyclopedia Frobozzica, so we would like to redirect you here: The Chronology of Quendor. Our primary research source for magical and chronological needs.

Spells, Potions, and Wands

Our team of researchers has been able to compile a partial list of known magical spells and potions, listed below. The exact nature of many of these magicks remain unknown.

Spells

[Due to the increasing demands from our customers for a more multimedic experience with their Encyclopedia Frobozzicas, we at the Frobozz Magic Web Site Publishing Company, working together with the Frobozz Magic Encyclopedia Company and the Frobozz Magic Font Company, have designed a special font that will be used to indicate spell names. If you do not see the special font, then you probably don't have it. Please pick it up here or here, depending on which model of Infotater you use.]

Among other spells are those Words of Power written in the magic runes, such as:

SqUIRP, stElla, Bok, JUkeS, PROsseR, smee, mACUgA, BlARn, yAbba and YqUeM.

These words are directly associated with such potent effects as self-effacement and humility, refreshment, weapons hunting, protection, recall (a transportation spell), gating (to the Etherial Planes of Atrii), and yard improvement.

Wands

While many magic users (such as the Wizard of Frobozz) favor magic wands that simply focus the power of spoken spells, some wands have specific powers in and of themselves, such as: Annihilation, Levitation, Eversion, Dispulsion, Anesthetization, Vanishing, and Inanimation.

The Curse of Megaboz

The following words were uttered by Megaboz the Magnificent as he created a Curse that would destroy the lives of the Twelve Flatheads, and the entire Great Underground Empire: "Frobnitz! Frobnosia! Prob Fset Cond! Zmemqb Intbl Foo!" In the posession of the first Dungeon Master was a piece of parchment written by Megaboz that contained the mysterious words, "zipso furgalneti" along with many other magical inscriptions, including the fragments "flod-" and "-linboz fooz-".
