Description

Legends tell of a spell so powerful that it grants its caster the sole ability to use magic from that moment forward. The spell has been lost to time and myths. However, it has been discovered again and mages are again seeking it through their runic magic.

You are one of these mages, using the lesser runes and a powerful Relic to discover the Final Spell that can only be cast by using a special combination of the Forbidden Runes.

In this fast-paced card game, players must collect sets of Rune cards to discover the face down Forbidden Runes one by one. When they are all known, the Final Spell must be cast which matches the set of face down cards to win the game.

However, each Rune has a special effect all unto itself and a domain of power, such as Chaos, Blood, or Nature.

Each turn comes down to a choice: do you advance your way to learning more of the Forbidden Runes or do you impede the others in their journey? The choice is yours, but choose wisely. The fate of the universe is in your hands...
