Every round, Hanso can goad Xandra with an insult from a randomly selected list of ten. Each of the insults themselves have a certain impact on the witch's ego. Lighter insults make Xandra launch weak spells, while heavier insults cause her to launch stronger attacks. Being a powerful witch, any insults at her magic or comparing her with Faeries are the most offensive, resulting in an otherwise deadly attack. Most importantly, the player must keep an eye on Xandra's temper; the more angry she gets, the more powerful her attacks will become. The player cannot use the same insult twice.

With each round, the distance between Hanso and Xandra changes randomly between around 10 [[wikipedia:metres|metres]] up to 50 metres. The distance between them may have an effect on the intensity of the spell.  
With each round, the distance between Hanso and Xandra changes randomly between around 10 [[wikipedia:metres|metres]] up to 50 metres. A shorter distance would mean a slightly stronger impact.


In each successful puzzle, the total magic retained by Hanso's artefact is added to the energy absorption gauge at the top of the page. This is a collaborative step: the gauge reflects all of the magic every player has sapped from Xandra. The most energy the player has absorbed in one (completed) puzzle is recorded at the bottom of the page. After the puzzle is completed successfully, the player is urged to complete it again:

The full list of insults - ten of which are given to the player per puzzle - are as follows. They are in approximately increasing order of offence.
The formula for calculating the strength of the spell is:


*You smell funny!
'''Strength = (50 - Distance) / 10 + Loudness + Xandra's speech + Hanso's speech'''
*Being shot at is really nothing new to me. *yawn*
 
*Nobody likes a homicidal maniac!
The tables for the calculations can be found below:
*Have you ever been mistaken for a Very Stinky Cheese and [[Cheeseroller|rolled down a hill]] in [[Meridell]]?
{{construction}}
*Your mastery of magic is like [[Jelly World]] - it doesn't exist!
*Didn't you ever learn how to use your words?
*Could we hurry this up a little? I've got places to be.
*[[Speckled]]? What, you couldn't afford a [[Blue]] Paint Brush?
*There are [[Petpetpets]] on [[Kreludor]] who could aim better than you!
*Here's a [[Neopoint]], maybe you can go buy a clue with it.
*Do you get all of your clothes from scrounging around the [[Money Tree]], or just that rag?
*Didn't your mother teach you it's rude to try to vaporise people?
*You're not good with moving targets, are you?
*Let me guess? You're doing your best [[Edna]] impression?
*Now I see why you needed this artefact - your magic skills stink!
*Did you win the [[Neopie]] for "[[Neopia]]'s Nerdiest Magician"?
*Until I met you, I didn't even know there was an Ugly Paint Brush!
*Nox must've died from laughing at your magical abilities.
*Something tells me you didn't study with the faeries long enough.
*You're just jealous you'll never be as powerful as [[Fyora]]!
