About the game

You design your wizard by choosing schools of magic and special talents, which shapes your whole game.

Heroes, magic items and hundreds of spells give it huge variety, and fans still play it decades later.

History

Designed by Steve Barcia at SimTex, the team behind Master of Orion, and published by MicroProse in 1994.

A new remake, also called Master of Magic, came out in 2022.
