I exploded so MANY times in steps 3, 4 and 5. I was screeching already.
I must admit

that it is somewhat gratifying to know that even Mag (!) has to attempt something multiple times to finally achieve a goal.

That makes me feel better, as I always imagined Mag breezing through a game, getting everything right the very first time, without any problems whatsoever. I must have blown poor Wilbur up a dozen times before I finally got the potion brewed!
Ah, yes? And how did you keep your sanity doing the rain dance? I seriously need to know before they come after me with a butterfly net. Aaaack!
Rain dance? More devious puzzles that take some serious effort and speed to accomplish?!

Oh dear, not looking forward to that, from the sound of it! I'm not that far into the game, but I have to admit that I am thoroughly enjoying this game so far!
