You are confronted by your dreadful rival, Mazdrud the Feared, who is capable of invoking four kinds of shields: a camouflage sheild that blocks all but your mind-wipe spell (against which it is useless), an invisibility shield that gives him even odds against each of your spells, a heavy duty shield that blocks immobilization shields, is no use against sleep spells, and gives him even odds against mind-wipe spells, and an all-purpose shield, which gives him even odds against yuor sleep spell, but is useless against the other two

a) determine the payoff matrix for this game
