Overview
This guide shows the rune combinations to all spells in the game.
RUNES
This is a list of all runes and their magic power.

So how does it work?
Press and hold down the “CTRL” key to switch to magic mode. You will see your hand
on-screen and the cursor will change to a pentagram. Holding down the left mouse
button, draw the required symbol with the hand. If the rune is recognised, its symbol
will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. Try this with a simple rune,
eg. “Raan” – drag the cursor from left to right and let go of the mouse button (while
still keeping the CTRL key down!). Now trace a second rune – “Yok”. Once the spell
is complete, release CTRL to cast the spell.
Remember spell
As before, trace the runes in the air, but before doing so, press the “Shift” key to
activate stealth mode. Once the spell is cast, a small symbol will appear next to your
life energy display. You can store up to three spells, and activate these “instant” spells
by either clicking the symbol or by using the keyboard short-cuts, which by default are
the numbers 1, 2 and 3.
Three types of spell
There are three different types of spell.
- Instant spell: These are activated as soon as the spell is completed, and the effect is instantaneous. Examples: Fireball, find trap, light flame.
- Persistant spell: Once activated, the effect lasts for a certain amount of time, consuming mana for its entire duration. Examples: Invisibility, speed, telekinesis.
- Targetted spell: After completion of the spell, the cursor changes, allowing you to chose a target (or victim). Examples: Paralysis, confusion.
The spell’s symbol and the required runes. Please note that this list is by no means
complete; many spells are such well-kept secrets that only a master of the game will
be able to track them down…
