Saruman The White

Saruman The White can be reached from Saruman The Grey by using an Improbability Device. It can also simply be a random event.

In the event, you can make one of the following choices:
 * Move backwards: Saruman has Uruk-hai take you back 18-26 spaces.
 * Lose 1 Speed: You lose 1 permanent Speed.
 * Die: You die.
 * Receive a Greater Curse: Saruman casts a spell on you to give you a Curse from the following pool: Curse Of The Pharaoh, Cursed Wounds. The Curse can be blocked with spell protection. (Spell Shield (Magic Crystal will be gained), Temporary Spell Reflection, Spell Reflection, Spell Deflecting (25% chance), or Spellbinder's Charm (only works on Cursed Wounds, absorbs it))


 * If you have an Improbability Device, it can be used instead of making one of the above choices to change this event into Saruman Of Many Colors, in which Saruman will do 3 random things from the following list to all players besides you:
 * Incapacitate them.
 * Give them 6 turns of Temporarily Silenced.
 * Knock them back 12-17(?) spaces. All affected players move the same amount of spaces back.
 * Give them a random Disease from the generic Disease-givers pool. (All affected players get the same Disease.)
 * Give 3 random items in their inventory the Ethereal enchantment.
 * Give them 1 turn of Fire.
