Pandora's Box

Pandora's Box as seen on the adventure map.

Pandora's Box is a special adventure map object, which can be picked up with a hero. The content is a mystery until a hero opens it. When the hero tries to pick up Pandora's Box, he is asked a question whether or not he wishes to open the box. If the answer is yes, the hero may engage into battle if the box has guardians.

• Gain or lose spell points
• Gain or lose luck (+3 to -3)
• Gain or lose morale (+3 to -3)
• Gain or lose resources
• Gain experience
• Gain primary skills
• Learn secondary skills
• Learn spell(s)

The box disappears after a hero successfully opens it.
