The Magus is the book that will help you tell a unique story about the quest for arcane mastery and the loneliness of power.
The Oracle is the card deck that will inspire you as you write your journal--- the ultimate artifact and yield of this game.
To tell the story, you will fill your journal with your character's spells, thoughts and memories. You can also sketch pictures, take photos, make a pastiche of other forms of creativity. Whatever you choose, you get to set the pace of the game, whether it's only a few hours or several weeks of play.
Aside from the countless prompt combinations made possible by the Oracle deck, this new Oracular Edition of The Magus includes a set of alternate game modes.
The Hex
Pull the Magus’ loneliness out of the mists of old and thrust it beneath the neon lights of a modern metropolis.
The Two Towers

To Serve the Lonely Tower

Magus Must Die
Brave the Lonely Tower alone, playing a line of Champions willing to die in order to topple the Magus at the top.

Across your workshop lay curious mementos, these patient witnesses to a life colored by deep yearning. Was it for power? Gods, were you strong. Wielding fantastic spells to uncover stranger truths, or perhaps— to exert control on an increasingly alienating world. Or was it... For human touch? All this— for what? For connections that would barely quench your longing to belong? As you close this chapter of your life, you reflect on your storied past— all your scars and regret. You are the Magus, the Wizard of the Lonely Tower, and with these pages you will reminisce your story.
You will navigate strange encounters and confront complex opportunities for learning spells, or cultivating tenuous bonds. Everything comes at a cost: will you spend your scant remaining time to acquire more powerful spells, or nurture the few connections keeping you human?
