USE:

1. Use form one when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one guard in the current room.
2. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible target by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a tall guard, a short guard, etc.
3. Use form two or three when more information is needed to interpret the command — that is, there's more than one possible target by the same name to which the command could be applied. In the example, there's a tall guard, a short guard, etc.
4. Use form four when there are many instances of <target> available, and you want to mystify one of them in particular.

Mystify creates a state of considerable confusion in the mind of a victim. The victim's Dexterity, Hitroll, See Skill, and Charisma are all significantly lowered for as long as the condition lasts. Mystify is more severe than Befuddle or Confuse.
