About This Game

The young mage Aurax has one goal: find his kidnapped sister. Standing between him and that goal are evil wizards who guard far more than territory — they carry spells he needs. Each confrontation that Aurax wins earns him new magical formulas, steadily expanding his powers as the search for his sister grows more dangerous.
