One place where I had multiple reloads in the Hive was in the tunnel that leads from the main entrance room back towards the reactor area. Sometimes the Devil at the other end will drift off to the side but most often he'll come down the tunnel. When he did that I couldn't get past him, and he did it several times in a row. On one of those efforts I tried Shrinking Ray on him. It shrunk him down to a pretty tiny size, but I still couldn't get past him - running up the sides or jumping or any combination. I'm wondering if the game engine actually reduces his 'physical' size in terms of space occupied or just reduces his visible size and damage.
By the way, I've never used that before, or Mass Fear or Charm. It seems like it might be kind of fun to use those in places and maybe there are some other interesting spells I've never tried.
Maybe it's an excuse to try another game. I never get tired of playing MM 6. I get the feeling that not many people (even here) are actually playing it any more.
