The “Maahir’s Gambit” scenario.

Here's a strange thing – it seems to be the easiest scenario. And what's there to do all day... near the castle, there's a Sphinx; we get 15,000 experience points as a reward, and on the second day, our hero is level 10... with that, taking mines is a breeze. And what can thousands of skeletons controlled by the AI do against a player??? I don't understand... Also, in the Academy, Resurrection often drops, and if it doesn't, there's a pyramid not far from the castle: we diligently level up only Light Magic to the highest level – and Resurrection is practically guaranteed...
