The problem is not that I'm not staying a ghost long enough to pass over the lake. The problem is that I die (as a ghost) after about 10 seconds. My magic runs down slowly (as it should) for about ten seconds. My blue bar shows I have plenty of magic left, but then all of a sudden my blue bar turns empty and I'm dead.

I've started due west of the flag everytime and the same thing happens everytime I try it. Has anyone else played this game as the female thief and made it across the lake with no problem? It's almost as if there is a bug or glitch.

I have tried over and over for several hours and don't even get in sight of the land. Very frustrating!!!
