Walkthrough Notes

Everlight: Of Magic & Power is a 2007 teen-oriented third-person adventure game in which you play the 15-year-old character Melvin who is transported to a realm infused with magic. Most of the game involves making interrelated dialog choices and manipulating inventory items to solve a mystery affecting everyone in a small town. Melvin must overcome 5 fears in order to achieve his objectives (one per chapter). Several sub-quests are required in each chapter. There are strict interdependencies between actions and dialog choices made in the game. Voice acting is pretty good, except for the annoying voice of the newspaper boy "Puppy". A limited hint system is available, depending on the current difficulty level.

In this walkthrough, specific dialog choices are given when necessary. Otherwise, the abbreviation EC is used to mean exhausting all conversation options with a character to ensure dependencies are fulfilled and to provide more of the backstory. Dialog selections should be made from top to bottom unless indicated otherwise. Items that are brought out of inventory to be used are shown in bold text. "Get" refers to a passive act in which an item is given to Melvin or otherwise automatically appears in the inventory. Objects and locations in the environment are Capitalized as shown with the H keystroke.

Here are some comments on the game controls:

The action starts in Mr. Teeth's Candle Shop that Melvin visits to get out of the rain. When he is presented with a couple of shell games, he will always win no matter which cup is selected. Afterwards, Melvin is transported to the magical town of Tallen.

Farida (after a lot of trial and error):
- I'm here to confiscate banned magic symbols.
- An Anubis head.
- I have the official document with Adamus' signature.
- We're talking about the safety of the town.
- The councillors think that the curse has something to do with a death cult. That makes the Anubis so suspect.
- Hocus found a hint in some old writings that makes him believe that there is a connection between jackals and cursed towns. Now they want to examine it more precisely.
- Hocus, as an expert for Anubis magic, surely knows quite well what he does. At least he found the first useful hint as to the reason for the curse.
- If I got that right, the curse is related to old bewitched artifacts that have jackal heads on them. Therefore all objects with this symbol are confiscated for safety's sake.
- I'm sorry, but I have to take everything with me. I'm inflexible about that.
- I could restrict myself to symbols that are suspicious of causing bad magic. Can you think of anything like that?
