User guide
You take the role of a wizard, and you have to kill up to 7 other wizards on a grid-based arena. Sounds simple enough.
As a wizard, you will have an array of spells to your disposal, and these spells are the only real means of defeating your enemy.
You can summon monsters to do your bidding, but also call down lightning on your foe, or even start an ever-spreading fire.
Controls

Touchscreen - Move cursor, Select creatures/spells (in game), Select options (menus)
