Dungeons are filled with all kinds of dangers like traps and various enemies. Not only other wizards, but also all kinds of monsters (goblins, undead, mighty giants, etc.) will try to stop us from achieving our goal. Thankfully, our hero is not defenceless.

We learn new spells as we progress in the game and can create new ones thanks to the game’s complex crafting system.
