  SAVE"Is it really fair to allow this spell during an examination?" asks Teraboz. "Fair or not - it's Academy policy," replies Morkan.
  
  > End
  You cast the spell. There is a brief flash of light, and you find yourself back in the lecture hall.
  
  "Now that you've cast the END spell," says Morkan, "the committee must render its decision." He continues. "I think you've more than demonstrated enough basic aptitude to merit entrance to the Academy.
  I vote 'Pass.'"
  
  "While there is more that could have been done," says Teraboz, "I'm convinced the candidate deserves admission to the Academy. I vote 'Pass.'"
  
  Berzia says, "I concur. Definitely 'Pass.'"
  
  Morkan turns to you. "That makes the vote unanimous in favor of admitting you. Congratulations! Welcome to the..."
  
  Before he can finish, the door to the lecture hall bangs open. A tall, stern-looking woman pushes her way into the room.
  
  "I understand that the candidate has completed the exam," she says.
  "I vote to pass."
  
  "But you don't have a vote, Merlena!" exclaims Teraboz. "You're not on this committee!"
  
  "The Oversight Council has recently decided that we need a representative on every examining committee," replies Merlena. "I will be serving on this one. And I vote to pass." Then she pauses.
  A look of uncertainty briefly crosses her face.
  
  "I see you have broken my spell, Teraboz," Merlena says slowly. "And I'm sure you would love to gloat about just exactly how you did it.
  
  "But I really don't care. What matters more is that you have refused to accept both the Council's authority and the consequences of your actions. I take a great deal of pleasure then in what I am about to say.
  
  "You're fi- CROAK!"
  
  In place of the tall woman there is now a frog. Teraboz is standing above the frog, wearing a look of grim satisfaction.
  
  "That gave me a great deal of pleasure, Merlena," says
  Teraboz. "The spell should wear off in... well... actually, you'll need to find a prince to kiss you. Which is poetic justice, given your and the Oversight Council's recent political meddling. Good luck finding a prince now that the monarchy is in exile!" She laughs long and hard.
  
  "By the way," Teraboz adds when she regains her breath, "I quit." She strides toward the door. On the threshold, though, she turns back.
  
  "Welcome to the Academy," she says, and slams the door behind her.
  
  Would you like to RESTART, RESTORE a saved game, QUIT, or UNDO the last command?
