About the Game

Learn Elemental Magic

As an aspiring mage seeking to learn sorcery, you find yourself upon the shores of a forbidden island fortress. Prove your worth by facing the Trials of Magi and earn your Catalyst to begin your spell-casting journey.

Discover the 6 Elemental Runes that serve as the foundation of all magic and learn to combine them to form 36 powerful and unique spells on demand.

Find Your Own Path

Within this labyrinth lie many interconnected passages filled with traps, puzzles, and athletic challenges built to test your resolve. Face mechanical foes that patrol, investigate sights and sounds, raise alarms, and coordinate their efforts to find and eliminate you.

Along the way your skills will level up and improve naturally as you train them. Jump higher the more you jump. Become harder to detect by sneaking frequently. Destroy foes with fireballs to make your fire spells more powerful.

Become a Mage

Those who overcome these challenges will be well rewarded. Powerful artifacts enhance your ability to traverse the environment, and rare resources can be spent to unlock potent upgrades. Customize your Catalyst to imbue it with different effects and arm yourself with trusty new melee weapons.

Elevate your spell casting to new heights by combining spells to produce multi-stage effects with explosive results. Launch fireballs that conjure bolts of lightning or cast a shower of rocks that summon allies to aid you in battle. Design your own unique spells with over 1.6 million combinations possible!
