This step follows on from Chapter 9, where Brynn and Xandra are trapped inside the Wraiths' cave, and Hanso has arrived to try and rescue them. All three characters are now stuck behind a glowing, magical barrier that's blocking the exit. The player must guide Hanso around the labyrinth on tunnels in order to help them escape. Each maze of tunnels is randomly generated to be unique for each player. | This step follows on from Chapter 9, where Brynn and Xandra are trapped inside the Wraiths' cave, and Hanso has arrived to try and rescue them.

Xandra explains that she's tried blasting the barrier but isn't strong enough to break it: she hears voices from within the cave and suggests that there may be other people who can help them. However, Brynn points out that the caves are pitch black. | Xandra explains that she's tried blasting the barrier but isn't strong enough to break it: she hears voices from within the cave and suggests that there may be other people who can help them.

====Build a wand==== | |||
The final stage of this step has the player assemble a wand that Xandra can use to focus her power and blast open the barrier. The rescued prisoners empty their pockets, and provide nine different items to construct the wand with. | |||
The wand needs three components: something to focus with, a handle, and a binding. Of the nine items the player is given, there are three of each category. | |||

The combination that will work for a user is random, but will consist of three items, one from each category - for example, the odd crystal, the fancy cane, and the pipe cleaners; or the lense, the ladle, and the length of rope. The player clicks three items - selected items become outlined in red - and attempts to construct a wand. Xandra's feedback tells the player how many of their choices were correct. There are 27 possible combinations of each type of item. | |||
The player can thus solve this puzzle like a simplified game of [[wikipedia:Mastermind (board game)|Mastermind]] - or its [[Neopets]] equivalents, [[Codebreakers]] or [[Time Tunnel]]. | |||
