I can't seem to find anything about this out there: When they ask me why I came to the WIT, I try learning, knowledge ,magic, and so on, but they always kick me out. I don't remember this from my first play through so many years ago. Also, thanks so much for making this amazing game!

I'm pretty sure I just said "Magic"

To be a wizard.

Speaking of WIT, has anyone tried the black portrait?

They asked me if I really wanted too, and I clicked yes. Then you end up in the swamp. Would have been funnier if you had died by a Error 52 bug or something, but oh well.

Two differences on entering WIT versus the original:

In the original, I could cast open on the blank wall without casting detect magic. This made sense for people who had to enter multiple times by virtue of failing one of the tests, I guess.

In the original, I always responded, "I seek to be a Wizard!" This got me booted in Qg2Vga, so I tried again simply with, "magic."

I ADORE the trip to Mordavia. Awesome stuff. I'm calling the two differences above trivial, and the deliberate difference a touch of very savvy game design.

I am a Thief with magical abilities. When I found the WIT the first time, they asked me the question: "Why are you here?" and I just said something stupid and got it wrong. Now, every time I go in, they ask an Aziza question: "What is the element most appropriate to the Magic Shop owner?" I answer "Air" and they summarily kick me out. I also got "Who are you that knocks upon my door?"

So, I decided to answer with "I want to be a wizard" and that seems to work. Just thought I would report this.

Interesting. Do you have a savegame prior to entering WIT where that happens? (i.e: the wrong question being asked)

I had the same thing happen to me with the What element is most appropriate to the magic shop owner and I am a straight up magic user. Erpy, I will email you with a savegame attachment right before it.
