Powers up the Magical Rod further so it casts a fire spell. It is in Level 8.
A treasure in the Lion labyrinth (Level 8). It turns the Magical Rod's spell into fire. Weak monsters get burned at the stake. Trees burn down easily too.
With this, the Magical Rod's spell turns into fire. A powerful weapon.
It holds a spell that makes fire. You can use it if you have the Magical Rod.
When the Magical Rod's spell hits an enemy or the edge of the screen, it turns into fire. There are many places where a tree suddenly catches fire and a hole opens once it has burned. Look for them!
A book of magic that makes the Magical Rod even stronger. Take it and learn a new spell that makes flames.
It holds a secret art for defeating evil: a spell that makes fire. Once you have it, the Magical Rod's power doubles.
The rod the Wizzrobes use. Use it to cast a spell. And when you get the Book of Magic and learn a new spell, you can also cast a fire spell.
It is hidden underground in Level 8. Used together with the Magical Rod, it makes fire. It lights rooms and attacks too, so it does two jobs at once.
Get it and Link learns a new spell. With both the Magical Rod and the Book of Magic, Link can cast a spell that makes fire. The spell also works in place of a candle, which is handy.
