Merlin is the most powerful wizard in the land, and he has cornered the market on all mana and magical ingredients. His impetuous and undpredictable nature has made life for an aspiring magic user a challenge. As long as Merlin lives, you and your fellow wizards must hide in the shadows and follow his every whim. You know that there is only one way to end his megalomaniacal reign. You must kill him. Use your wits, magical ingredients, and the very elements of nature to assemble a mystical spell that can bring Merlin down. However, as you pursue your dreams of power, so too do the other magical beings of the realm. And the only thing more dangerous than a crafty old wizard is an ambitious young one. Actually, all wizards are terrifying, so be careful. Buy ingredients, learn spells, cast spells to thwart your opponents, and be the first to defeat Merlin so that all may revere your glory! —description from the publisher
