MasterOK, let's start with the basics. Have you got your Wand?

If you choose “No.”

MasterWhat are you doing, child?

MasterHold your Wand in your writing hand, and use the [+Control Pad] and [L] with your other hand.

MasterNow, are you ready?

The player chooses

If you choose “Yes.”

MasterYes, Ma'am!

MasterMovement first. Touch your head and then touch where you want to go. Try opening that chest.

MasterGood! Easy enough, isn't it?

IsaacHey, there's nothing inside! Master, that's not fair!

MasterYou didn't expect to be rewarded for simply walking somewhere, did you? Naïve boy!

MasterWell then, let's practice some magic next.

MasterHold down [L] and the Rune drawing screen will appear. Try it. Go on, press [L].

MasterThis is the basis of it all. When you want to use magic, use [L].

MasterKeep holding down [L] until you finish drawing the Rune, then release it.

MasterDrawing an accurate Rune while holding down [L] is the key to successful magic.

MasterThe neater and more accurate your Rune is, the stronger your magic will be, but...

MasterWell I do seem to run off at the mouth sometimes! Though I expect you to listen carefully.

Continues

If you choose “Yes!”

IsaacYes, no problem!

MasterGood, good.

MasterTry it, then. Hold down [L] and copy the Fire Rune from the top screen. Release [L] to finish.

MasterGood! That's the way!

MasterOnce you have drawn your Rune accurately enough, it's time to unleash some magic.

MasterTouch the place where you'd like to unleash your magic.

IsaacCool! A fireball!

MasterGood work. Well done!

MasterNow how about trying that in battle?

MasterI've got some monster dummies here for you to practice on. Defeat them with your magic!

MasterUsing the map on the top screen and [+Control Pad] to scroll will help you watch over the battle.

MasterIf you forget the Rune, press [L] and it will appear on the top screen.

MasterNow off you go! Have confidence in your powers!

IsaacRight then! This shouldn't take long!

MasterJust be careful not to get too badly hurt!
