Magic Spell

Challenge

Item No. 36283
200102590IWTI-02

You hold in your hands a magic wand that any student of Hogwarts™ would be proud
to call their own.

However, there is competition for control of the wand from an evil wizard; and you
must battle the wizard to maintain your power.

1

Try Me Package

Before even opening the package, the magic of your wand is inescapable. When the
unit is off, Press the SEND button. You will: meet the evil wizard, enter into a "demo
mode" and hear some of the magical effects of play.

Toy Mode

2

There's more magic in the toy mode! You can play the magical sound effects of your
wand without actually playing any of the games by accessing the toy mode.

To access the toy mode: when the unit is OFF, press and hold the SELECT button.
Listen for the scintillating charge of an electric flash! This tells you that you are in
the toy mode. Press any magic button on the wand to hear a magical sound effect.
You can also tilt your wand down to hear the announcer say, "WINGUARDIUM!
And... tilt your wand up to hear the announcer say, "LEVIOSA!"

Press the ON/OFF button to exit the toy mode and enter the game mode.

Game Mode

In the game mode, there are three games to play. In addition to moving your wand
up and down and pressing the magic buttons on the wand, you will also use the three
function buttons of SELECT, START, and ON/OFF to play the games.

Quick Start

4

If turning on the wand for the first time, do a "QUICK START" into Game 1 by
pressing the START button immediately after pressing the ON button.

SPELL-BINDING CONTROL:

There are a few things every smart wizard needs to know. Let's begin with control
of the wand:

MAGIC BUTTONS

ON/OFF — to turn the wand ON and OFF.

SELECT — to select the game (game 1, game 2, or game 3)

START — to confirm game and player selections.

MAGIC BUTTONS — Your wand has four magic buttons. Each lights up a different
color: RED, GREEN, BLUE and PURPLE, . These are your "spell" buttons to
compete with the computer wizard or a friend!

SEND — Use this button when a friend has a wand and you want to send competing
spells to each other via IR connection! The SEND button works only for game 3
as well as the "try me". It is inactive for games 1 and 2.

TILTING YOUR WAND UP AND DOWN

In addition to the magic buttons, you must tilt your wand up and and down for spell­making. The upward movement for spell-making is called "LEVIOSA!" The downward
movement for spell-making is called "WINGUARDIUM!"

GAME 1 (COMPETE AGAINST THE EVIL WIZARD)

Press the ON button. The announcer will say, "SELECT GAME!".

For a QUICK START, press the START button now to automatically play Game 1,
(Game 1 is always a 1 player game).

If you do not want a QUICK START, press the SELECT button repeatedly to toggle
through your selections. Choose: Game 1, Game 2, or Game 3.

When you get to GAME 1, press the START button to confirm your choice and to
hear the evil wizard say, "TRY AND STOP ME!"

The evil wizard will then cast a spell on your wand - playing out a pattern on the
wand that could include: any of the four lighted magic buttons (RED, GREEN,

BLUE, and PURPLE), as well as movements (moving the wand UP or DOWN).

As the evil wizard completes his spell command with the wand, YOU must REPEAT
the spell exactly!

In the first round, most of the evil wizard's commands will be three or four commands
long.

For example, the first pattern could be:

- the PURPLE button lighting up.

- the BLUE button lighting up.

- the evil wizard calling out "LEVIOSA! UP!"

Now repeat the command by pressing PURPLE, BLUE, and tilting the wand UP.

When you do a spell pattern correctly (in both GAMES 1 AND 2), you will hear the
electric energy sound effect and your wand will light up! This confirms that you
repeated a spell command correctly and another spell is about to start!

If you are not correct: the wand will not light up and the evil wizard will insult you
by saying something like "NOW THE PAIN BEGINS!"

Whether you are correct or incorrect, the evil wizard will give you another command
like:

- GREEN button lighting up,

- "WINGUARDIUM! DOWN!"

- RED button lighting up.

Try to repeat this spell pattern exactly!

The evil wizard will keep giving you patterns until you either WIN a round by
completing enough command combinations or you make a total of 3 mistakes in a
round.

If you make 3 mistakes, the evil wizard will say, "YOUR POWERS ARE NOW MINE!"
and the game is over.

When you WIN a round by completing enough patterns, the evil wizard will sound
a little upset and say something like: "I'VE JUST BEGUN!" He will then launch into
more commands.

Whenever you make 3 misses and the game ends, the announcer will tell you how
many rounds you were able to complete. Then start a new game!

Win 8 rounds and you WIN the game!

Pressing the magic buttons as they light up is really easy. But tilting the wand UP
("Leviosa!") or DOWN ("Winguardium!") is a little more difficult.

Here's how to tilt the wand:

As you get better at repeating the evil wizard's commands, commands will become
longer and the time you are given to make your moves gets shorter!

In the first few spell patterns (in both GAMES 1 AND 2), the evil wizard will not
only say "WINGUARDIUM" and "LEVIOSA" but he will also say "DOWN!" and "UP!".
This is to help you learn these moves.

As you move into later rounds of play, he will just say "WINGUARDIUM" or
"LEVIOSA" without saying "DOWN" or "UP".

Only the finest wizards from Hogwarts™ are skilled enough to complete all 8 rounds.
How well do you stack up against that kind of competition? Time and your ability
will ultimately tell all!

To tilt the wand correctly, always begin by holding
the wand in a neutral, which is about 10° titled up.
Then when the wizard asks you to move the wand up
or down, always do so with the star buttons facing up
as shown in the illustrations below.

When the evil wizard's spell calls for UP ("Leviosa!"),
gently tilt the end of the wand up.

If you hear the announcer repeat your move (the
announcer will either say "UP!" or "LEVIOSA!" as you
do the move correctly), immediately return the wand
to its neutral position.

If the evil wizard's spell calls for DOWN
("Winguardium!"), gently tilt the end of the wand down.

If you hear the announcer repeat your move
(the announcer will either say "DOWN!" or
"WINGUARDIUM!" as you do the move correctly),
immediately return the wand to its neutral position.

GAME 2 (TWO WIZARDS ARE BETTER THAN ONE!)

Unlike Game 1, which is a 1 player game, in Game 2, you can play either a 1 or 2
player game.

From the ON position, toggle the SELECT button to GAME 2.

Press START to confirm GAME 2 and the announcer will ask how many wizards
(players).

Press the SELECT button and the announcer will say "TWO WIZARD GAME". If
you want to play with a friend (2 player game), this is for you! Press START to
begin two wizard game.

Or...press the SELECT button again and toggle to the 1 player 1 wizard game and
then press START to just play by yourself against the evil wizard!

2 WIZARD GAME

Decide between you and your friend, which of you will be Wizard 1 and which of
you will be Wizard 2.

The announcer will say, "WIZARD 1, PRESS START!"

Then wizard 1 (you or your friend) will press START and the evil wizard will do a
spell command on the wand. Wizard 1 must complete it.

For example, the opening command Wizard 1 might be given is:

- the evil wizard saying "LEVIOSA! UP!"

- the evil wizard saying "WINGUARDIUM! DOWN!"

- the GREEN button lighting up.

As with Game 1, when a player does a spell pattern correctly, you will hear the
electric energy sound effect and the wand will light up!

After Wizard 1 takes his/her turn, then Wizard 1's turn is over and the announcer
will say, "WIZARD 2, PRESS START!"

The evil wizard will now do a spell command of the same length (but a different
spell!) for Wizard 2.

The opening spell command for Wizard 2 to do could be:

- the RED button lighting up.

- the PURPLE button lighting up.

- the evil wizard saying "LEVIOSA! UP!"

Wizard 2 must then try to copy that spell exactly.

WHEN BOTH WIZARDS COMPLETE A SPELL

If BOTH wizards do the spell correctly, the game advances to another round.
In a new round, the evil wizard will give each player the same spell from the previous

round - but will add one additional command!
So if Wizard 1 did the first spell correctly, he would be given the opening command

again, PLUS ONE MORE COMMAND:

- the evil wizard saying "LEVIOSA! UP!"

- the evil wizard saying "WINGUARDIUM! DOWN!"

- the GREEN button lighting up.

- ...the evil wizard adds one additional command, such as: the BLUE button
lighting up.

In this round, there are four commands instead of three - with the first three
commands being the same as Wizard 1's first spell.

Likewise for Wizard 2, a player will be given an opening spell PLUS ONE:

- the RED button lighting up.

- the PURPLE button lighting up.

- the evil wizard saying "LEVIOSA! UP!"

- ...the evil wizard will add one additional command, such as: the PURPLE
button lighting up.

WHEN ONLY 1 WIZARD COMPLETES A SPELL

When only 1 of the 2 wizards is able to complete a spell correctly, the wizard who
completed the spell correctly wins the game! The announcer will say, for example,
WIZARD 1, YOU'RE OUT. WIZARD 2, YOU COMPLETED (the correct number)
SPELL COMMANDS!

WHEN NEITHER WIZARD COMPLETES A SPELL CORRECTLY
When neither wizard completes a spell correctly, the round will be played over - and

each player will get another chance with the SAME spell pattern.

WHEN BOTH WIZARDS COMPLETE A SPELL CORRECTLY

The evil wizard will repeat the last spell completed for each wizard - PLUS ONE
additional command. So, each wizard's spell gets longer and longer - and the game
goes on and on until there is a winner!

1 WIZARD GAME

If you select a 1 wizard game,it's just YOU against the evil wizard!
Press START and hear a spell command. If you miss, you're out and the game is

over.
If you match the spell command exactly, the evil wizard will repeat the spell pattern

and ADD ONE MORE command to the spell!
See how many spell commands you can complete!

GAME 3 TWO WANDS ARE BETTER THAN ONE!

Game 3 is the most magical of all because it is played with TWO WANDS!

It is a two players, two wands game!
Each player must have a wand! Each player turns ON his/her wand and uses the

SELECT button to select GAME 3.
After each player selects GAME 3, each player must also press the START button

of their own wand!
In this game, the magic of IR takes over! Players are actually transmitting spells

from one wand to the other! To send spell commands from one wand to the other,
the players must point the tip of both wands at each other. The two wands must
be less than two feet apart for the magic to work and for you to send your commands
to the second wand - and for the second wand to send a spell back to your wand!

FOR BEST GAME PERFORMANCE, PLAY INDOOR AND AWAY FROM
WINDOWS.

less than 2 feet

One of the two players tries to complete a spell three commands long (you and your
friend decide which of you will create the first spell pattern) and presses the SEND
button on their wand.

If both players try to send a spell at the same time, the first player to press the
SEND button will have their spell sent.

So let's say that Wizard 1 (you) goes first. Do a three pattern command on your
wand and press the SEND button. For example you could do:

- press the BLUE button

- tilt the wand upward and hear the announcer say "LEVIOSA!"

- press the GREEN button

- ....then press the SEND button!

After 1 player sends a spell, the other wand will have registered it! Wizard 2 must,
then repeat the spell command with a wand - and ADD ONE MORE command and
then press SEND.

So Wizard 2 must:

- press the BLUE button.

- tilt the wand upward and hear the announcer say "LEVIOSA!"

- press the GREEN button.

....Then Wizard 2 will hear the electric energy sound effect and see the tip of their

wand light up!
...Now Wizard 2 must add an ADDITIONAL COMMAND! For example, Wizard 2,

could choose to press the PURPLE button.
...Then after completing the spell of Wizard 1 and adding ONE COMMAND of his

own, Wizard 2 presses the SEND button!
IMPORTANT!!! BEFORE YOU OR YOUR FRIEND ADD A COMMAND: WAIT

UNTIL YOU HEAR THE ELECTRIC ENERGY SOUND EFFECT AND SEE THE
TIP OF THE WAND LIGHT UP. YOU WILL THEN KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
MATCHED THE OTHER PLAYER'S SPELL CORRECTLY!

DO NOT ADD ONE MORE COMMAND UNTIL YOU HEAR THE ELECTRIC
ENERGY SOUND AND SEE THE WAND TIP LIGHT UP. ONLY THEN WILL
YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE YOUR FRIEND'S SPELL CORRECTLY -­AND ONLY THEN SHOULD YOU ADD AN ADDITIONAL COMMAND TO THE
PATTERN!

Wizard 1 must now complete the spell which is four commands long:

- press the BLUE button.

- tilt the wand upward and hear the announcer say "LEVIOSA!"

- press the GREEN button.

- press the PURPLE button.

After you complete this four command spell, wait until you hear the electric energy
sound effect and see the tip of your wand light up - then ADD ONE MORE
COMMAND and press the SEND button!

By passing the commands back and forth from Wizard 1 to Wizard 2 and adding a
single command the spells become longer and longer. The first player to "miss"
(unable to complete the pattern) is out. The other player (Wizard) is the WINNING
WIZARD!!

Now THAT'S magic!
