Trial By Magic is a roguelike deckbuilder about strategically ordering your spells to invoke more powerful magic
A true Wizard knows how to combine their spells correctly to maximize their potential. Casting spells in the correct order will bring an Invocation, a powerful magic that allows you to learn new spells. Because of this, your pool of spells will be constantly changing, giving you the chance to adapt to every enemy. Deciding which spell to cast and when is what makes the true difference between a Wizard and a Wimp.
Each step during the Trial by Magic is crucial. Which location will you travel to first? Which trinket will you carry during your travels? What new spells will you learn? These and many other questions that can be solved by picking between 3 choices are some of the challenges you will face during the trial.
Think you’re up for the trial? Get graded at the end of each run to know how you did. Reach the highest Wizard score and prove you’re no Wimp nor just an ordinary Wizard.
