The Game:
Spellcaster (http://www.retrouprising.com/play/Sega-Master-System/Spellcaster.php) for the Sega Master System (http://www.retrouprising.com/Sega-Master-System.php) is a very unusual hybrid for its time. We've all played platform/action (http://www.retrouprising.com/index.php?action=arcade) games. We've had our fair share of shooter/scrollers (http://www.retrouprising.com/index.php?action=arcade&name=shooter). And most of us have enjoyed the occasional Strategy/Adventure (http://www.retrouprising.com/index.php?action=arcade&name=shadowgate). But how many of us have played all three in the same game? That's right, Spellcaster is a platform/point-n-click game with a splash of shooter thrown in at the end for good measure. The minds at Sega (http://www.sega.com/) released this highly underrated title back in 88'/89'. First in Japan as Kujaku Ou (Spirit Warrior) and then in NA and Eur in its current title. Heck, the even had their publishing buddy Tec Toy (http://www.tectoy.com.br/) republish it in South America as Warrior Quest.
The Challenge:
You are to defeat the final boss using as little energy as possible. Any spell you use (excluding the password spell) will cost you energy, including heal. Once you've defeated the boss take a screenie of him with your energy meter on screen and PM it to me. You MAY use continues.
1)Enter this password:

2)Move to Kashima Shrine
3)Use the Sword of Seven Branches
4)Use the Mirror
5)Use the Sword of Kusanagi
6)Good luck!
The Spells:
PASSWORD: Has no use in the final battle.
HAKUJI: A spell to focus your "Ki" energy into a beam of destructive light. A good alternative to your regular shots. ENERGY: 3
INDRA: Calls on the Thunder God to storm lightning on your enemies. ENERGY: 10
FUDO: Calls forth a great ball of fire. It is very useful in the final battle. ENERGY: 20
KANNON: A spell that returns the waking dead to the underworld. A very effective way to destroy enemies without getting hurt. ENERGY: 5
HATTEN: Calls on the God of Winds to send a tornado or high winds against your enemies. This spell is useful in many situations and many bosses, since it covers almost the entire screen. ENERGY: 10
MARS: Calls on the God of War to fully restore your strength. ENERGY: 25
MAKIRI: Has no use in the final battle.
NOBOTA: A spell that creates a shield impervious to all the enemy's missile attacks. ENERGY: 30
The Prize:
You will be awarded points equal to your remaining energy plus 1,000 points more for every submission you use less energy than.

If there is a tie between two or more submissions, preference will be given in chronological order, oldest first.
