Certain spells must be readied in advance, and there's no sure way to know which spells will be needed except by jumping in blindly, then restoring and doing it right. Enchanter uses the basic Infocom text interface.
Descriptions are colourful, but terse.
There are several characters to cooperate with, to give commands to. Aside from being interesting challenges in themselves, they bring the world to life.

The challenges can be tough, but their resolution is rewarding and entertaining.
