Mages of Mystralia

Mages of Mystralia is an action-adventure where spell crafting is the central mechanic — players combine modular rune components to design spells with custom behaviors, trajectories, and effects. The game was developed with input from author Brandon Sanderson, whose magic-system philosophy shaped the modular rune design. Exploration and environmental puzzle-solving reinforce the spell-crafting loop throughout.
