If Maroc enters a room containing a demon, Maroc's freeze spell is negated. This is possibly to make the High Temple of Chaos slightly more challenging when navigating the final few rooms.
The materialization of a warlock in a room also negates Maroc's freeze spell.
54978 LD A,0 Set the FREEZE spell timer to zero
54980 LD (60572),A
