Gameplay

You're a magician in a school of magic. You must take lessons to acquire skills and improve your mastery of magic in order to become a powerful mage. Along with your lessons, you will learn to make potions, cultivate magic plants, care for your familiar, and especially explore the magical land surrounding the school.

Quests
Quests are missions you go on in order to progress in the game. They enable you to go up in levels. When you accomplish a mission given to you, a green check mark appears in the box, as below :

Levels
Rising levels allows you to access new game features and new magical items and equipment. To go up levels, you must complete the quests. Levels determine your access to certain features of the game. A simple example is that you can access other areas besides the school (on the map) when you reach Level 2.

Kii
Kii is the virtual currency of game. You can earn it by selling ingredients in the shop. To see how much you have, look at ageoflore.com (the bloc on the left that can be moved).

School Shop
The school shop allows you to access the basic ingredients you need for making your potions and equipment. To do this, enter the amount of the desired item in the box provided and click "buy". You pay the number of Kii corresponding to the amount multiplied by the unit price (pu) of the item. If you do not have enough Kii, the sum payable appears in red and in the "Price" column.

Lessons
Lessons allow you to earn skills in various types of magic. The more skills you have, the more access you have to spells and powerful pieces of equipment.

Scroll
Parchments are pieces of paper on which are inscribed the formulas for manufacturing potions or equipment. Just possessing a scroll is not enough to make the potion or equipment, you must also learn the scroll.

Equipment
The pieces of equipment allow you to better defend or attack. Some items have more specific properties, such as an invisibility cloak that makes you invisible and gives you access to restricted areas of the map. The equipment can be purchased in shops or be manufactured in your workshop. To do this, you need to learn the scroll for manufacturing the equipment and assemble the elements needed for its manufacture.

Map
The card gives you access to places around the school. It is divided into zones. Each area has its own peculiarities : you can take the same actions all throughout a given zone. The possible types of action differ from one area to another. You can see all possible actions for each type of zone. The zones are delimited visually by dotted lines and a change of color on the map. In addition, a message aove the map tells you what area you are in.
