Question...... Would the spell Create be the opposite of Destroy? Or would it be Restore that countered Destroy? Or would they both work?

Which one would save someone from death? I think Create would create life but unsure if it could be used to save someone who was dying.

Dreamt up Destroy in a cool dream last night. Lord Fear tried to cast it on Treguard. Had to spellcast Freeze on Lord Fear which Lizzard dispelled then Lord Fear tried to spellcast destroy again then quickly spellcast Opposite to deal with the spell before Lord Fear finished casting it and save Treguard. It worked. Phew.

Was only told about Create and Restore after saving Treguard.

Was told in the dream Create might have certain side effects in its use. Side effects not told as Treguard point blank refused to tell me them.

Do any spells have long term side effects after being cast in Knightmare? I know Create did in my dream.

Wonder what would have happened to modred in that scene if Helen and co had used it???

STRANGE ONE THAT of course it meant energy lol but a strange one!!

The irony of the SHROUD scene is that when the team did finally dispel properly, they made themselves the only team in Knightmare history to directly thwart Mogdred. An incredible honour for such a bumbling bunch. As for them 'calling a SHOVEL a SPADE' in the Level 2 wellway room, they were blooming lucky to get that far, after some dismal riddle performances and an apparent clue object let-off on Level 1 - and of course, the immense help they received from Treguard over SHROUD.

I like DASH from Quest 8 of Series 4. It felt a bit pointless - magic that makes you do what you're physically capable of doing anyway - but the result was fun, with Brett exclaiming "Go Giles go!" and the puzzled goblins arriving too late.

Thinking about it, Series 3 has most of my favourite spells, because the magic in that series managed to be both purposeful and varied, which is a combination that certain other KM years failed to provide.

"Who will be will no doubt be!" - Treguard

These guys could not only spell but seem to think they can cast whatever spell they can conjour up. "SHOVEL sounds too bland, I know... I'll cast SPADE its more punchier!

ANVIL - for the sheer cartonn rip offery.

DRINK - for a slurping sound rivalled only by Compo Simmonite.

FREEZE - for finally showing what happens when someone with icy knickers pees her pants.

TOAD - because I love amphibians.

TRICK - More for what could have happened than what did but this was still a fun little number.

UNDO was a spell actually mentioned on Knightmare - by Fidjit!

Oh yes of course. I do tend to forget what thou says...

How embarrasing. Wouldn't have minded a kiss from Sidriss in all honesty!

We havent seen a STRENGTH spell either however the game that whats-his-name made had it to pull "The Sword" out of the stone!

Of course, it was also amusing to see the same team mistake a SHOVEL for a spade!

Why not create a spell? Like SNEEZE, UNDO, or REVERSE?

i quite liked it when VIM was uswed by Merlin wonder what it stands for???

The word vim comes straight from Latin, and means strength/vigour in both languages.

It would be fun to possess the spells FIRE and FREEZE

I'd like to have MEDAL and BAG. That way, the next time I encounter a spider being shrieked at by an arachnophobic, I'd have the means to deal with both.

Also quite liked the freeze used on arie adne in series 4 too was quite amusing trguard soundedas ifd he was straining himself by saying "use what you may and use it fast.. quickly quickly"... s p e l l c a s t i n g FREEZE

toook her aaggges to cast that spell im suprise they werent gobbled up

Mine would probably have to be SWORD. If the work mates give me grief, cast one of these and send it out after them... Watch 'em run for the hills!

Or perhaps even a SPLASH spell! We work right next to the River Medina! ;D

It would be fun to possess the spells FIRE and FREEZE

Why not create a spell? Like SNEEZE, UNDO, or REVERSE? Explain how it works and all that...

WEB was fun too because it was quick, simple and effective (and Cedric's frustrated sobs were quite satisfying).

Anyone got a favourite spell?

One of my favourite spells is TOAD from Series 3. The scene around it, in which Mogdred (probably Mogdred ) turns McGrew into a toad for offending him, struck me as scary, creepy and funny when I first saw it as a child. It was satisfying, too, to see the team swiftly overcome the predicament by dispelling the magic and returning their comrade to human form.

Another of my favourites is a rather more obvious choice: DISMISS!

So, what are your favourite - and/or least favourite - Knightmare spells? I look forward to reading any choices you wish to share. For a near-complete list of Knightmare spells, with more details available for each one, see http://interactive.knightmare.org.uk/lexicon/category/Spells

I'm surprised if Greystagg helped them, not having ever seen her episodes as that series is waiting taped at home for my later delectation!

But....

Just because you've called them doesn't indicate that they need to help, most calling names were given out in return for favours, after all, Maldame made it very clear that summoned wizards didn't need to be friendly:

'If you call on me, I shall shrivel you like a dried toad's skin! HA!!!'

Charming woman....

LetMeWinNow

reckon it would work? or just try glory!! lol (and hope)

Slightly off tangent, but if dungeypersons had watched past series' in depth couldn't they call out Malefact/Gwen/Barry(!!) three times immediately??

However, dispelling was a bit different...

Two cases from Series 3...

1. The team that first reached level 3 dispelled SWORD a grand total of three times, once the one that they had been given, then twice to dispell Mogdred's magical sword...

2. The second team to reach level 3 managed to dispell Mogdred's TOAD spell on McGrew without ever having possesed the spell or even having heard it spelled out...

So....

I propose that any dungeoneer who has seen a spell cast and knows (or can guess) its name can also dispell it, but that this isn't common knowledge or usually the spell attacks too quickly for them to dispell....

Hmmmm....

Oh, and for the record, my favourite spell is definitely FILLET, as being the only spell to my knowledge that had to be made from ingredients like good old fashioned magic... I suppose the more complicated the concept the harder the spell to make...

"Oh, most amusing..."
