Red crystal

I tried playing as the Elves, but without success. At first, everything was going well (since I had played the map several times before), and I relatively quickly obtained the Elven Luck artifact. But then, there was a problem: neither the castles nor the library had the "Antimagic" spell, and I wasn't strong enough yet to defeat the guardian of the Tome of Light. As a result, by the end of the second month of the game, my hero became a victim of another manipulator visitor. That's how it turned out.
