A really bad glitch...If you're in the Dark Fire Clan, and the enemy does a rest right after you do your "Defense Shield" spell, the game WILL freeze. Tested and proven. Please click the + button to spread on the word!!

It should have it so the important message boxes are different. I just click to train until I have 6 mana, but all of a sudden I'm trying to assassinate the great mage.

Theres an easy way to win. All you have to do is keep draining their mana until its empty then attack then mana drain then attack... ...It really works I promise.
Please don't rate this until you try it.

I absolutely love this game; it's definitely one of my favorites. My only problem is that playing as certain clans will result in a 'hard cap' that you can't get past. For example, Dark Fire can beat everyone up till the Clan Leader of Red Fire with his level 4 low defense, level 6 high defense, insane mana pool, low attack, and mana drain. Silence might be able to counter the mana drain if it was possible to keep him silenced for long enough to get him to 0 mana and keep him there, but you simply run out of special (or life T.T) before that's even possible. ._.

Came back to Kongregate to play this game, I move into college today and it feels like I played this game lifetimes ago. This was one of my favorite strategy games on the site. Where did the time go? :(

Actually. I think a good way of putting it is.
Red fire Clan's first special ability is that they can have 3 and a third rests, a level four mana burn ( ALL for free. ) And this doesn't even count as part of their turn. As if that's not enough, unlike sea water clan who's courteous not to mana burn you to hell and back, they'll spam it no matter what.
Basically, if you add up how much mana they get, from mana drain, how much you lose from them draining you and just trying to stay alive. You go figure how much you need just to beat them in raw mana.
Yeah. They're hardcore.

Something that gets me is if I'm trying to become number 1 in the book of mages, and I have to fight my clan leader, I can't if I'm the leader. AM i supposed to have already beaten my leader or loose the election if i haven't?

actually one part u can't use the mana drain trick cause the dark fire clan mage has drain special magic that takes urs away and gives it to them so it is not that easy. plz press + so noobs will know this is true and will not get angry and curse and stuff and put the rate 1 star!

Let's see... Me (Leader of Chaos Fire Clan): Nooo! I lost the election!
Some grand mage: The Chaos clan leader has won!
Book: Wilson was defeated and the Chaos clan leader won the election.

Ultimate guide:
Pick Ice Water
Don't bother with Arena
Max: High Attack (ass soon as possible to beat Clan Leader 1s time as he has 6) an Low defence
When both maxed max Mana burn
During fights just do Mana burn and block(low)/parry(high) attacks untill opponent has 0 mana than make high attack, burn mana and repeat high attack.
When mana burn maxed (3) max Low attack
Don't bother with High defence just train more and more mana in Mana cave
Still use previouse tactic unless learning Freeze 2.
Change tactic by useing Freeze 2 as soon as possible than Low attack and repeat 2nd time.
Beat High mages (those with ranks).
Train mana and make all quests untill you will win whole game.
P.S. Tactic with burinng mana can be bad for mana burning opponents and than you will just have to find way to make max dmg to them.

Have won with Red Fire and Ice Water, wondering if its possible to win as any other clan? Ice Clan Leader and Red Clan Leader are difficult, even as a member of those clans, are they possible to beat as, say, Sea water?

Ice water clan is OP. Using their ability they can take 60 health from you easily. How can I beat their leader like that?. A can't do any damage (I'm poison clan). I can try draining their health but when i'm done they can just freeze me and kill me because every turn they can do 1 damage while charging their freeze and i cannot do any damage besides poison (Around 60 i think).

considering how book of mages; the dark times is one of my favorite flash games to ever be created, it's a bit of a trip to come to this one which is so barebones in comparison. still a good game, if a bit unbalanced (red fire can beat anyone in the game once you have 6 high defend, 6 low attack, 4 mana burn, and the drain magic special, but poison water can literally NEVER beat the chaos fire clan leader)

you got to say that the developer really did some great work on the new book of mages if you compare it with this book of mages

Freeze 2 is way too powerful....They can freeze you for a whole turn and use 6 attacks doing 60 damage. This makes it impossible to beat the clan leader of ice water with most of the clans.

Its nice coming back to this after sequel and seeing how far things came. Also interesting to see at the end how The Dark Times was apparently planned under a different name :P Nice job nobstudio, you guys made 2 great games, hope theres a 3rd on the way :3

Also worth noting that the game is unwinnable as a Chaos Fire mage. when facing the Sea Water Clan Leader, he mana drains every turn, so your Twice spell is useless. And he heals every 3 turns or so, so even if you sneak 30 damage through every turn he has, he heals for 20, and hits you for 30.

so many years later but this is still a classic. I have thought about this game many times in the decade since i played it, and I'm really excited to play it once more.

hm, seems to be impossible to beat the red fire clan leader as a dark fire mage with his huge mana pool and 6hd, 6la. Good thing I didn't have to fight him at the Grandmage election, as he was somehow impressed with my amount of Mana

I had a really weird experience in this game. I became the clan leader in chaos fire, lost the great mage election, then it said that the chaos fire clan leader had won, but that wasn't meXD
