But in this short numbered section (27), the separation between the contradictory phrases "The only spells that make any sense…" and "If you want to use an offensive spell instead" is three lines of print. Make up your mind, book!We could cast an offensive spell blindly into the fog -- which admittedly does seem like something WIS 3 Carr would do -- but let’s try not to be a simpleton for once.With the knowledge from all of our previous paths, we know that we'll need Protection from Evil for our confrontation with Arno and Pazuzu. Thus we’ll choose Armor.</blockquote>
