About the game
This expansion adds spells to base game. All heros can use eight spells after they get enough Power points from special tile of labyrinth. For ages people believed that the Magic of the Ancients had left with Them. The most powerful spells were thought to be forgotten forever… Things turned out differently, though. The remains of this unthinkable power are still here. And they still fill the Labyrinth built so many centuries ago! Heroes who shall discover magical springs and seize their power… shall also gain dominance over time itself and learn to use it as no one has done before! However, that’s not all! Thanks to the power lying dormant inside the Labyrinth the Chosen shall be able to bring fallen heroes to a life of servitude. There is also “Change of Destiny”, the most potent spell of all, waiting to be released. It can ruin plans of many heroes fighting for immortality!
