Mages of Mystralia
In the kingdom of Mystralia, it takes more brains than brawn to succeed. You will face down giant, powerful creatures and navigate treacherous terrain. You will encounter puzzles that confound even the wisest of the old sages. And you must overcome obstacles put in place by people who do not want you to succeed. Your path will not be easy. In Mages of Mystralia, you play as Zia, a young girl who discovers that she has been born with an innate sense of magic. Unfortunately, magic has been banned, so she strikes off to train on her own to gain some control over her powers. On her journey, she meets other exiled mages and, discovers runes with magical properties and realizes that she can combine these runes in millions of different ways to come up with completely new spells.

Really neat spellcrafting system. It doesn't really take off til about midway through the game when you have more tools, but still a fun game overall.

This gets a thumbs up because there is no maybe. It's about a 6.5/10
The spell mechanic is excellent and would love to see it implemented in a better game.
The combat in this game is very flat. It's occasionally difficult but only because there's no depth to the combat beyond "hit enemy". The solution is to make enemies sponges and numerous. It's more frustrating than fun most of the time.
People really tried here, you can tell. I'll finish the game for the spell crafting. If the game didn't have spell making though, it'd be a 3/10 easy.
Get on sale, don't expect much.

The puzzles are like in Trine: sure there is an intended solution. But you can also just spam fireballs until you randomly unlock the chest.
The magic crafting system is interesting but since most interactions are hidden, somewhat annoying to figure out. For instance: "duplicate" on earthspell transforms the shield into a statue. Yeah that's obvious, isn't it?
Otherwise kind ok mindless brawler type game.

A charming gem of a game where you travel a land crafting spells to defeat enemies and solve puzzles.
