Bryce 11df54bc26 Analyze Loom: Add sensory-exploitation examples (tower stealth via Invisibility, Terror on shepherds), multi-character-coordination single-character substitution variant (Forge entry via Reflection), strengthen observation-replay and pattern-learning documentation with detailed Loom draft systems 
Puzzle types documented for Loom:
- Sensory Exploitation: Tower workers' visual perception exploited via Invisibility draft; Shepherds' fear exploited via Terror draft
- Multi-Character Coordination: Forge Entry via Reflection as single-character identity substitution workaround
- Observation Replay (existing): Full draft sequence memorization system with randomized melodic content
- Pattern Learning/Knowledge Transfer (existing): Draft reversal system and mechanical grammar application

<h1>Introduction</h1>
<img src="Images/1-Loom01.png" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
You mean the latest masterpiece of fantasy storytelling from Lucasfilm's&trade; Brian Moriarty&trade;?<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/2-Ad.gif" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Why it's an extraordinary adventure with an interface of magic, stunning, high-resolution, 3D landscapes, sophisticated score and musical effects. Not to mention the detailed animation and special effects, elegant point 'n' click control of characters, objects, and magic spells.<br />
<br />
Beat the rush! Go out and <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/32340/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">buy Loom&trade; today!</a><br />
<br />
<br />
I was young when I first played Loom, probably around 7 or 8. I didn't get a third of the vocabulary, half the puns, or any of the references, but what I did know was that this game could take me to a magical land unlike any magical land I had ever seen before. And with as much as I've read, played, and watched in the years since I beat this game, the world of Loom seems just as unique now as it did almost twenty years ago.<br />
<br />
Now if you'll follow me, the guided tour begins just over here.<br />

Do yourself a favor and listen to this either first or last (with many thanks to cupcoffee for posting it).<br />

<b>Drafts encountered</b><br />
<br />
<img src="Images/4-bop01.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
While most sequences change from one playthrough to another, two will always remain the same: Opening and Transcendence. The reason is actually pretty simple: both are cast during cutscenes and thus cannot be rearranged.<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/5-bop02.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Possible sequences: CCCD, CDCD, DDCD<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/6-bop03.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Possible sequences: CCCE, DDDE, DEDC<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/7-bop04.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Possible sequences: DCCD, CDDC<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/8-bop05.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Possible sequences: GEED, GFFE<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/9-bop06.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Fun fact: throughout the game, the only thing Transcendence creates is swans.<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/10-bop11.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Possible sequences: DFFD, EFFE<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/11-bop12.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />

Possible sequences: CDDF, CFCC, FDDE<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/12-bop13.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Possible sequences: AAAG, CDDA<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/13-bop14.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Possible sequences: GCGC, GCCD<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/14-bop21.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Possible sequences: CAAC, ACCA<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/15-bop22.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />

<br />

<br />
Possible sequences: AFED, AGFE<br />
<br />
<b>Drafts never encountered</b><br />
<br />
<img src="Images/17-bop07.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Admittedly, Summoning is the draft that kicks off the plot, but Bobbin will never hear the sequence for it or cast it himself.<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/18-bop15.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Desire is sort of a mirror twin to Terror. They use similar images, plus they're placed opposite each other in the manual.<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/19-bop16.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
I imagine this is what the bells are enchanted with.<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/20-bop24.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
Interesting tidbit: if you pay attention to the stated dates, you'll notice that the wizard who used Tremblor in the game's backstory did so after the draft's official banning.<br />
<br />
<img src="Images/21-bop31.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<img src="Images/22-bop32.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />

<img src="Images/24-bop34.jpg" alt="" class="img" border="0"><br />
<br />
<b>Drafts which may or may not be encountered</b><br />
<br />
Three of the following drafts will be used in the final episode. All three have only one variation, unlike most other drafts in the game.<br />
<br />
