The Legend of Kyrandia 2: The Hand of Fate (1993)

Zanthia's cauldron turns collecting odd objects into the business of making spells, so the magical rules give inventory work a satisfying identity. Her wisecracks keep the task of saving a disappearing world from becoming too solemn. This second game changes the lead and introduces its own crisis; the first adds familiarity with the setting. Choose it for alchemy and peculiar creatures, while allowing for strange ingredient logic and a more demanding action-based finale.
