I believe Daggerfall and Arena in the elder scrolls series became available for the public to use for free by the software company that owned them as a celebration of their anniversary.  If you own rights to the software and I am incorrect let me know and I can take it down from my blog.

"For the 15th anniversary, Bethesda has released Arena and Daggerfall as free downloads, both of which require an emulator such as DOSBox to run on newer systems."

There is a bug for money and spell cost such that once the the cost to purchase the spell or the casting cost exceeds a certain value it wraps around to zero or just above zero.  If you push this to far it may crash the game using the spell maker.  Once you increase it past that number and it wraps around you may need to lower or increase values to have it wrap around to the desired cost and not too far past it.  It may or may not also include negative number values listed.

The Character is a Level 6 sorcerer as class effects spell cost.
