      Well, it’s obvious that we need to put Wishbringer into the hole, right? Suddenly the witch seems to appear and asks us to not proceed. Is this a trap?

        …it was a trap, but we don’t fall for it. We put in the stone anyway, freeing the cat from its prison. The woman turns out to be the Evil One, who is now beaten.

          In the end we drop off the cat at the Magick Shoppe and get to say goodbye to the old woman, who is happily reunited with her cat. All is well and we have scored an amazing 96 out of 100 points. We used only one wish, for the cinema!
