Fictorum v2.2 is out now, featuring eight new runes and rune system upgrades!

Hey Wizards! We're ready to put our largest content patch in two years into your hands! This patch has eight new runes that can drastically change how your spells work! Additionally, multiple runes of the same type are now allowed in the same runeset. Plus, we've added many quality of life upgrades!

Major Changes

New Runes

Blood Damage is vastly increased, but health will be used instead of mana to power the spell

Stamina Damage is vastly reduced, but stamina will be used instead of mana to power the spell

Drain A portion of spell damage is leeched as energy

Implosion Deals a percentage of radial damage every .1s

Doom Spell is automatically cast when you kill someone, but can no longer be directly cast

Wrath Spell is automatically cast upon hitting an enemy, but can no longer be directly cast

Pain Spell is automatically cast upon being hit, but can no longer be directly cast

Fury Spell is automatically cast along with any other spell, but this one can no longer be directly cast

Runeset Changes

Multiple runes of the same type are now allowed in the same runeset! Ever wanted to have 50 multishot fireballs? Well, now you can!

Walking momentum is kept when flight is toggled and vice versa
Concentrate, Efficiency, Magic's Reach, Bounce, and Massive runes have been rebalanced
Base elemental projectiles created by Chaos, Order, and Spiral will now include damage bonuses
Spell slots will visually update when they can and can't cast be cast
You can no longer equip/unequip an item that would reduce your health or mana to 0
There is now no maximum essence cost for disenchanting and purchasing items

A reign of terror never feels so satisfying as when you leave a literal pile of rubble in your wake. Giving wizards a much-needed makeover, Fictorum is an action role-playing game that features fully-destructible structures, a randomized node-based world map, and a satisfying magic system with on-the-fly spell shaping and customization.

In Fictorum, your mage wields real, legendary power right from the start—unlike those found in most magic-centric games. Our magic system uses a dynamic and intuitive spellcasting and shaping system that grants the player an unrivaled level of customization and reconfiguration. Up to three runes can be applied to a spell, each affecting a different spell characteristic. The runes are easily swapped to suit the player’s current need, interest, or whim. You might amplify ice blasts to freeze enemies in place, expand the radius of a fireball explosion to crumble a bridge and hinder pursuers, or chain a lightning attack together to strike several targets in a cluster. Shaping makes spellcasting much more tactical and satisfying.

Rather than starting out as a hapless farm boy who stumbles into his powers and avoids enemies or entire areas until leveling up, players take on the role of an established wizarding badass, hell-bent on his mission for revenge. Yet challenge is abundant—the wizard must bring down a sprawling empire by himself, besting scores of bandits, cadres of Inquisitors, and hordes of corrupted abominations on his quest for vengeance. The protagonist has access to unlimited magical powers, making the game less about spamming that one spell that works passably well until it becomes upgradable. The experience is more about tailoring your magical arsenal, giving the player a wide range of freedom and the ability to effectively, efficiently, and enthusiastically destroy every obstacle. The randomly-generated world map features locations where every structure (from large buildings to bookshelves to tables to even a lone fork) can be demolished.
