I am having trouble finding the weapon orbs for the glove or the axe.
I need one more for the axe and two more for the glove.
I am in the flying forteress right now.
I am right before the part where you kill Buffy.
Should I allready have all of the weapon orbs by this time?

Please e-mail a response.

Thanks

P.S. Is it really necessary to raise all of the weapons to level 8 for
each character, and did anyone else find that raising all 7 elementals for
bot the sprite and the girl from level 7 to level 8 (700 spells to cast)
extremely boring and tedious?

Some of the enemies later on in the fortress will (not very often) give
you a weapon orb as a reward. (Most often from Terminators, it seems to
me.) I'm still missing several orbs myself though. Just keep trying if
having them all means that much. And BTW, the weapons can all go one
level higher than what is listed in the manual.

Yes, but...
I've found that after using certain spells at level eight for a while,
you start to get some "bonus" effects on the spells -- i.e. the visuals
of the spells are more involved. This happens most notably on the girl's
Lucid Barrier spell and the sprite's Dark Force spell.
