2 of 17: You need something that works just by holding it, since you don't have time to mess around in there.
3 of 17: The sphere won't cut it, don't bother.
4 of 17: You probably need a body covering of some sort.
5 of 17: Something like a coat.
6 of 17: Or a cloak...
7 of 17: There just happens to be an asbestos cloak in this castle.
8 of 17: Where did you see that at, anyway?
9 of 17: The Warlock Lord wasn't kind enough to hang his cloak in the closet.
10 of 17: He actually put a guard on it.
