Awaken your magic, defend the realm.


Long ago, the world was nearly swallowed by the Shadow Realm, a dimension of dark sorcery. A handful of brave apprentices and the great wizard Merlin created the Potion of Immortality, pushing the shadows back and saving the realm.


To keep the danger from ever returning, Arcana Academy was founded. Merlin and the Five Legendary Founders each sacrificed part of their magic to create the Founders’ Spell, a powerful ward that has protected the world for centuries.

But now, during the first Blood Eclipse in 500 years, the spell has cracked. Strange whispers echo through the halls. Magic falters. Shadows slip between the walls.

The academy is out of time.


The Founders hid their power inside five magical artefacts, and only new magic, young minds, bold spirits, and fresh eyes, can awaken them again. Not the old sorcerers. Not the teachers. You.

Headmistress Selene Arkwright summons her best apprentices to their final test. Find the artefacts, restore the spell, and stop the Shadow Realm before the eclipse reaches total darkness.
