Gameplay

Lone Wolf books rely on a combination of thought and luck. Certain statistics such as combat skill and endurance attributes are determined randomly before play (reading). The player is then allowed to choose which Magnakai disciplines or skills he or she possess. This number depends directly on how many books in the series have been completed ("Magnakai rank"). With each additional book completed, the player chooses one additional Magnakai discipline.

Plot

In his quest to attain Kai Grand Master status, Lone Wolf must seek out and find 7 Lorestones. After obtaining the Lorestone of Varetta in the previous book and absorbing its wisdom and power, the location of the next Lorestone is revealed as the remote township of Herdos. Here, Lone Wolf is directed by friendly Elder Magi to search within the accursed fortress of Kazan-Oud, otherwise known as "Castle Death".

gollark: Some people (like me) really like very long ones.
gollark: Messy dragons are cool and arguably valuable too.
gollark: I think that "collect cool dragons" is a perfectly viable strategy in a game about collecting cool dragons.
gollark: Arguably, anything longer than about 35G is rarer than... a lot of rares, I guess?
gollark: Value drops exponentially after CB - unless it's a really rare thing like a prize - until you get to stupidly high generations, at which point it shoots up again.
