What is Zia and the goddesses of magic?
Zia, a girl from a mountain village, leaves home after learning that spell books are hidden throughout the world.
She hopes to study their magic, but her journey also reveals that the ten guardian goddesses have been imprisoned. Monstrous beings are attacking nearby settlements, so Zia must use her growing knowledge to oppose them. Combat relies on magical patterns made from symbols introduced during the adventure. Players enter each pattern with the arrow keys to launch a spell. Different foes respond differently to the available forms of magic, making spell selection an important part of each battle.
