The gameplay primarily involves developing your inventory and spell book and combat. Most combat spells involve summoning various entities to do the fighting for you. Your spell casting ability is limited by your supply of mana. Supplies of mana are decided by gaining control of 'places of power'. You control these areas directly or by leaving a unit in that place. You can also only control a certain number of entities at any one time. The game boasts good design and reasonable graphics. The interface could be better. A good selection of atmospheric music accompanies play.
