Overview

The school of magic is buzzing with excitement. It's almost time for the final test. The apprentice witches go from shop to shop to find the magic items to demonstrate their skills in casting spectacular spells. Mandragores, a kind of Swiss Army knife of witchcraft, are particularly sought after. Be careful with cursed scrolls, as the terrible curse they contain could very well cost you the victory! How to play: Each round, you can move between the different stalls and collect the ingredients and grimoires on sale. Beware, each shop not visited will see new merchandise accumulating, sometimes face-down, which your rivals will be able to recover. As soon as you have collected enough items, you can use them to prepare your spells, offering points and spectacular effects! — Description from a retailer.
