### 🧙 **2. Play a Trick with the Halloween Wizard**

Unleash chaos in nearby towns by summoning Halloween monsters with the **Halloween Wizard**!

#### Steps to Summon Monsters

1. Speak with the **Halloween Wizard** in any main town to initiate the event.
2. Select a town to summon monsters: **Geffen**, **Payon**, **Alberta**, or **Aldebaran**.
