About Master of Magic
Master of Magic revives a 1990s classic by blending role‑playing choices with strategic empire building. Players become one of fourteen distinct wizards, each linked to a magical school and a set of traits.
Across the twin realms of Arcanus and Myrror, you recruit fantasy races, research spells, craft items, and command turn‑based battles to outmaneuver rival wizards and claim the title of Master.
01 / THE GUIDE
Wizard Selection
Fourteen wizards are available, with five schools of magic and eighteen traits available to customize your wizard, shaping the strategic options you can pursue.
Your choices of school and traits shape which spells and unit types synergize best with your playstyle, shaping how you expand influence on the map.
- Compare schools to see which spell trees match your preferred tactics.
- Select traits that reinforce the natural strengths of your chosen wizard.
02 / THE GUIDE
Race and Army Composition
Fourteen fantasy races—including elves, dwarves, trolls, draconians, orcs, klackons, and gnolls—grant access to a total of 196 unique unit types. Each race contributes distinct tactical capabilities.
The races you recruit dictate the units you can field in turn‑based battles, affecting how you expand influence and counter rival wizards on both planes.
- Mix races to balance melee, ranged, and magical roles.
- Align race choice with your wizard’s school for thematic consistency.
03 / THE GUIDE
Spell Research
Over 200 spells are available for research, expanding the magical toolkit of each wizard. Spell selection directly impacts tactical battles by altering unit abilities or battlefield conditions.
Research follows the wizard’s chosen school, allowing either focused specialization or broader magical coverage depending on your strategic goals.
- Prioritize spells that enhance the strengths of your primary units.
- Diversify early research to keep options open for later encounters.
04 / THE GUIDE
Item Crafting
More than 250 unique magical items can be created through a custom crafting system. Crafted items may be equipped by wizards or units to provide strategic bonuses.
Item creation lets you tailor gear to complement your wizard, race, and spell loadout, reinforcing overall tactical plans.
- Focus crafting on items that boost the most frequently used units.
- Combine crafted items with researched spells for synergistic effects.
05 / THE GUIDE
Dimensional Planes
The game world consists of two parallel planes, Arcanus and Myrror. Each plane hosts its own map, resources, and locations for expansion.
Because both planes exist simultaneously, you must monitor activity on each to anticipate rival wizard movements and plan your own expansion accordingly.
- Track developments on both planes to anticipate opponent moves.
- Consider plane‑specific unit strengths when allocating forces.
