NCS Product Synopsis
Update: January 18, 2006
«©NCSX» Runes were/are used as an alphabet as well as a means of divination and spell casting. Unlike the Roman alphabet, a runic alphabet consists of letters (runes) that each have a specific meaning. For example, in the Elder Futhark, the first three runes, "fehu," "uruz," and "þurisaz" are words in the Germanic language which mean "cattle," "aurochs," and "giant." Leaning on this tradition, Lost Magic implements a rune system where six elemental runes for Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Light and Dark are used to launch spells. The protagonist in the game is a youth who discovers a staff that allows him to wield the power of the elements. In addition to the use of single runes, gamers may also draw out rune scripts where two or more runes are sequenced to create new and powerful spells - up to 300 are available in the game.
Monsters that are defeated in battle may be added to your party and the whole lot of you wander through the wilderness like a gang. When stepping through the countryside, they'll follow dutifully and when it's time to fight unfriendly beasts, they'll rally around and battle alongside their master. Two players may connect via Wi-Fi to pit captured beasts against each other to determine who owns the best monster.
