Merle Ambrose is the current headmaster of Ravenwood School. Along with seven teachers for each of the various Magic Schools, namely, Fire, Ice, Storm, Myth , Life , Death and Balance. Each magic type has its special and unique spells and abilities, whether is it the power to do extremely high damage, heal, or even summoning minions onto the field.

You begin as a novice wizard who just enrolled in one of the schools, you have to work your way up the ranks by defeating monsters in duels and beating bosses. Spells come in the form of cards, as pictured below. Each card, whether an attack, trap or any special card have clear description of its use and its cost in power points, or pips. The border colour also shows which school the spell is from. A wizard gets better spells through leveling or doing certain quests for them to build a subtle deck. Also, training points allows wizards to learn spells from other schools.

Speaking of clothing, this is also a game for those who like to dress up their characters. Usually, clothes can be bought at shops or dropped from monsters. Those dropped from monsters usually in your school colours, which differ within the schools and have great stat boosts. Wizard Apparel, which includes hats, robes, shoes, athames , wands , decks, rings and amulets and occasionally pets, differ with each world in the Spiral.

Unfortunately, things had started to spin out of shape when Professor Malistaire Drake of the Death School had started an evil ambition for power. He caused the Death School in Ravenwood to fall to the depths of Wizard City and left. Ambrose is now looking for young wizards to find Malistaire and undo what he had done. After completing quests vanquishing bosses and saving people, you may get a Spiral Key that allows you to visit other worlds in the Spiral. Currently, there are five worlds in the Spiral that can be explored. First , I had mentioned Wizard City. Let me intoduce you the other worlds.

First off, Krokotopia. This Egyptian-themed land is home to the Manders, bug-eyed lizard-like people. Apparently, this land was also the home to the Kroks, crocodile-esque people who were driven out of their lands from a plague. The kind Mander people offered them help, but evil Kroks called the Tuts decided to take advantage of it and enslaved numerous manders. A secret society of Manders and Krok wizards called the Order of the Fang then cast a spell from the Krokonomicon, the ancient book of powerful Krokotopian Life and Death spells, putting the Kroks to sleep for centuries. Then, Marleybonian archeologists had accidentally released them from their eternal slumber by accidentally reciting a chant from the mystic book. Now, Malistaire wants the Krokonomicon's powerful spells and wizards must prevent him from taking it. Also, tyrannical Tuts must be quelled to bring peace back to the once peaceful desert land.

Then there's Marleybone. An 19th century Victorian English world, the bastion of science and canine nobility. The starry night sky is filled with balloon-powered vehicles and below it, many buildings of brick and the people under never seem to sleep. But Marleybone isn't just bones and tea, Marleybonians are plagued with feline and rodent thieves, outlaws and bandits that frequent the underworld of Marleybone. Ironic as it is, the underworld of Marleybone is among the rooftops. Balloon cars at Digmoore

Station are the only way to get up there.>

Also, Newgate Prison near the Scotland Yard building holds Marleybone's most dangerous criminal, Meowiarty, a feline thief who is extremely notorious for stealing from the Royal Museum and ready to be broken out at any time...

To the right is Marleybone's famous balloon car, the driver is also famous for being identical to each other and for some reason, they never blink or move at all. Queer, eh?

The fourth world is Mooshu, the land based off ancient Japan and the land of cows, goats and pigs. The Emperor had fallen ill from a disease and Mooshu is a mess. One of the emperor's warlords had started a war, the pure waters had been tainted and Onis, also known as demons had invaded this peaceful world. To cure the Emperor, his body, mind and spirit must be restored, which means getting his prized sword from Warlord Katsumori, purifying the water tainted by disease and plague, and finally retrieving the fruit of the Tree of Life.

Mooshu is also famous for katana-like wands, rarely dropped from certain bosses. I was lucky enough to get one of my own on my first try. So I feel pretty grateful. :D

Apparently, you have to watch out for ninja pigs, yes, ninja pigs running in the trails between locations. Surprisingly, they are rather fast runners...
