Gwydion must secretly gather ingredients and follow recipes from Manannan's spell book while the wizard is away. Successfully crafted spells allow you to transform into a fly, an eagle, or a cat, and even teleport between locations.

To neutralize Manannan, you must bake a magic cookie containing a cat-transformation spell and feed it to him while he is distracted. Once turned into a cat, he is permanently neutralized and you are free to escape Llewdor.
