How to get full 1000 score in Zork: Grand Inquisitor?

How to get full 1000 score in Zork: Grand Inquisitor? - Young African American female football player trying scoring goal in training in sunny day

I've just finished replaying an old piece of childhood of mine - Zork: Grand Inquisitor (the GOG version). At the end of the game I got a score of 862 of 1000 or something like that.

Which made me wonder - what did I miss? What is the score awarded for anyway? How do you get the full 1000?

Searching the internet didn't give me any answers. I saw at least one walkthrough that claimed to have 1000 score at the end, but that was the only place the word "score" appeared in it.

To be honest, I've only played the three graphical installments of Zork, so I'm not too well versed in its vast lore and traditions. Perhaps if I was, I would know the answer.

I think this is a bug that occurred when GOG replaced the Dosbox version of the game with the SCUMM version. I used to always get full score without trying in the old version, now I never can.

I’ve been going through the game checking my score with F7 and writing down all the points. So far I don’t see any way to gain extra points or lose points (I thought casting Golgatem over flood dam #3 might add extra points for example). When I have completed my list of points and actions I’ll post it here.
