Haven't played this in forever.
Jumped back in, pulled an all-nighter and joined Poison Water.
Three hours later, I beat everyone.
Wish I'd known how broken it was earlier.

Let me just say, Chaos Desert and Poison Water, if you know what you're doing, can easily be OP. Several tribes actually have an epic special magic that easily turns the tide. I intend to try Dark Wood next.

@clonchrooper, It's not a bug, but rather algebraic manipulation. The equation is 2(x+5) =/= 2x+5. Therefore you conclude with a difference in power of 2.5. Furthermore, your power must always > or = 1. Though whether this feature was intentional is debatable.

Holy crap, with the Burning Hill mage you can manipulate the numbers for infinite damage O_O That's a bit of a large bug, surprised nobody's noticed it before.

There really should be an achievement for beating the black robe as a young talent. It's so hard it feels impossible, but I've done it with poison water and dark-wood so far, and it is literally an achievement, maybe the hardest possible thing to do in this game.

One of the best RPGs I've ever played! :D
The graphics still look nice after all these years, the mages are cool and the spells are awesome!
Not to mention the amount of endings and titles you can get.
Too bad there's no sequel though. :(

It's about time i revisited this game years after playing. Only now I appreciated how nice this actually this. Though it maybe be a bit easy, it definitely was engaging and fun. Will definitely take the other routes even if i got the badges.

Wonderful game, it packs so much complexity for a flash game and it is really thrilling to learn the strategies with the factions. I never saw anything overpowered. Some say chaos and poison are overpowered, but great sea rips apart chaos and burning hill is a great counter to poison. Everything is balanced, please make a sequel like this.

Try to kill the opposing faction's members (White/Black Robes) along as you play the game, or you will have to fight 40 or so mages IN A ROW

@BastienL7, what Clan you are currently playing. Although there are some poor match ups you can win using each and every clan (finished game with all of them, some multiple times).
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
way too unbalenced mages , chaos desert combo for win ,can't be counter when you have enough life to stay alive until your up damage on hit is up (but most of the time you won before it is up...4 or 5 turn so xd).

i seriously don't understand how it work ;no one of my hit get through but my ennemi have free 20 highor low bolt ;how i counter it with only 15bolt max?...
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
@Rainbow22 Depends on what you want. Want an absurd amount of damage go burning hill. If you want defence go great sea if you want the enemy's damage to go to one pick dark wood. Want ALOT of Bolts pick chaos desert. Want damage over time pick Poison water. If you want some thing i forgot on what they do just pick ice

Tip: After you've ranked #1 in the Book of Mages (before the end of the story) talk to the mysterious hermit(s) several times until he gets irritated. Make sure to save though.

Black robe: Oh no! Help is here... wait, only one mage, I'll finish you off quickly before other mages come!

It's been so long...I started playing this game when I was 10, and I loved it. I haven't played it since I was 11, but it's still as fun as ever. Definitely the best underrated game on Kongregate, as DeceptivieWarrior stated. A third one must come out.

Ireally want a sequel this game is one of hte best turn based rpg i have ever played i know im not the only one saying these words but please Nobstudios, make a third book of mages

@Dedwynde man, this game is perfectly balanced... maybe you do not understand the strategies and uses involved in each clan and fight. I frankly find the later enemies to be the easier once you know which weakneses you can exploit with each class.

This was a great game, my only problem with it is the numerous literary errors and poor grammar throughout the entire game, making reading a very painful process. Aside from that, pretty good game.

Good little game but I feel it has some significant balance issues and frankly dont know how people have beaten it multiple times, let alone at all. I can cruise though the game until getting near then end, but then, even with all abilities maximized and higher mana and life totals, I just cant win. Enemies all throw more bolts than I can at maximum, and all their attacks cause burn and sap mana on hit. The ability to only choose one of either the attacks or defense buttons at first, and seemingly at random, is very annoying. And the to use defence at all is pretty pointless as it costs the same amount of mana as attacking and cant gain any greater numbers. Also, every time I've faced an enemy that uses poison, if I can manage to get enough special to purge it, I automatically fail the fight. I like the (limited) story and ability to choose a path but after months of trying just to get past the end run, with no success, Im done. good game but needs work. 3/5
