When You're Done

Do the spells' names have any meaning?

  1. Some do, some don't.
  2. GONDAR is an anagram of DRAGON. NITFOL is a backwards, and somewhat modified, rendering of Hugh Lofting's name (he is the author of the Dr. Doolittle stories).
  3. EXEX is an obscure reference to a very slow mainframe computer. FILFRE is a modification of the expression "Feel Free," which is commonly uttered by game writers.
  4. The others are either obliquely related to the original mainframe version of ZORK, or totally arbitrary. Any relation between the names of spells and persons, living or dead, is a pity for the persons involved.
