Apprentices have overcome the Iocus Arcanus, and now they have to prepare as fast as possible for the next challenge, the Draconis Arcanus. But before they'll have to learn the secrets of magic with greater depth and there's only one place in the whole kingdom where they can do that, the Lucerna Library, the place where the best and the most dangerous spells are.
This library will only show its secrets by candlelight, if the candles go out, they will not be able to read any of the books and they will have to leave. The Guardian of the Library will be of great help in your search for knowledge, but in exchange, the Spirit of Oblivion, a greedy being filled with envy will not allow them to take from his lair the knowledge or the wisdom that he was never able to achieve.
Goal of the game is to have the largest amount of books when the last candle in Lucerna goes out.
Lucerna is open! Learn the spells and continue your journey!
