The Mage's Tale Crack Only

Graphics-wise I find them very comparable (original PS4). The Wizards might look a bit sharper but maybe because it also trends to be a lot brighter. I have only seen a few creatures in The Wizards this early in the game, but graphically and style-wise I think the enemies looked better in The Mage's Tale.
Hi guys, I'm a new player and am enjoying the game. I had a quick question about this game. How do I use the shield? Also, are there only 4 spells in the game? Wind, Ice, Fire, and Electricity? Lastly, what is the difference between seek and guide? Thanks guys!
Abilities: They seem to be able to use portals and teleportation too, Brother Pike teleported in Stormsong Valley questing, and two tidesages hold the Boralus portal open in the new SW Portal Room. Shamans have not shown the ability to teleport or use portals before, only mages.
I haven't beaten The Mage's Tale yet, which is an exciting thing to be able to say about a VR adventure game right now. There's a lot more for me to get through, and I am looking forward to doing so if only to see what other strange effects the spellcrafting will allow. Even if VR doesn't have an especially deep RPG yet, it's got a fun and accessible one, and The Mage's Tale is the type of extended experience I'm glad VR developers are now spending the time to make.

The corrupt wizard Gaufroi has kidnapped your master, Mage Alguin, and only you have any hope of saving him. You may be an apprentice now, but to save your master, you will need to explore ten deadly dungeons, decipher mind-bending puzzles, avoid terrifying traps, and vanquish hordes of vicious monsters.
People tend to overestimate how rational and scientific the modern world is. Remember, the McMartin Prescool prosecution took place only 30 years ago, and that sounded like something ppout of the witch trials of the 1600s.
This says incredible things about Zulu discipline and training. Most armies would have broken and ran, but the Zulu charged on because this was their only option. If they wanted to keep the British out of their land, they had to die in huge numbers. Even though they were unsuccessful in the end, I still marvel at the sacrifice they were willing to make.
That persecution makes no sense either, though. How would you get a wand away from a witch in the first place? How would you persecute them? To persecute a group, you need power over that group, or at least confidence that they are unable to retaliate. Nobody is going to heckle a witch for having magic for the reasons you list above: she could disapparate or hit them with a curse. It only makes sense if magic-users are persecuting other magic-users.
So, while the idea of super-powered beings being used as narrative stand-ins for for historically persecuted races/genders/sexualities is definitely a trope that rarely, if ever works in execution, these are not the only types of oppression that such a narrative framework can be used for.
The Templar Suppression begins in France, primarily because Philip the Fair wants his considerable debts to the order canceled, and would like a couple of properties that are owned by the Templars. Within ten years, due in part to picking the wrong side in the competing papacies of Avignon and Rome, the order is suppressed throughout Europe, surviving only in small, secret orders like the Knights of Christ in Spain.
It would be possible to oppress (or at least exploit) mages if their power required lengthy rituals under specific circumstances, or the use of a particular (not readily available) material component. If governments, corporations or wealthy individuals controlled the supply of the material, or owned the sites where rituals needed to be carried out, mages would become just another type of skilled or talented worker and the governments etc would reap the benefits of their magical abilities, rather than the mages themselves.
However, it is not a setup for non-mages to oppress mages. The people with the most magic still have an advantage, whether that comes from inborn talent or better access to the magical substance. Now, this could be a great setup for political conflicts between factions who want access to the magical substance.
An arrow through the guts tends to end a mage. Mages are often at a sore disadvantage to the mundane unless they specifically prepare for it, and even so, it can easily become a question of numbers. An mob of angry peasants is more than a match for a mediocre mage unless magic breaks basic laws of conservation of effort. The rarity of mages becomes a factor. In most settings, mages are rare individuals that possess a specific talent allowing them to wield magic, even if that talent is simply the ability to comprehend it. This creates a ratio of normal people to mages that far exceeds the capacity for mages to take power without the consent of the muggles.
If the only way to get rid of a persons magical ability was through their death, and a persons power was generally uncontrollable, would it make sense for people to sentence mages to death to protect their homes/businesses/family (natural disasters caused by powers, ex: a mage with an affinity with water could cause a flood, etc.)?
I actually think the only way to regulate superpowers (or magic) is to have superpowered (or magical) law enforcement, because there will always be people who have those powers (or magic) and will misuse them.
I have read through the article and the comments and find this whole discussion very interesting. But I think there is something that is being overlooked: the best magical systems have limitations to them, if you exploit those weaknesses it would be possible to fight or even kill mages. To give an example let take the Grishaverse by Leigh Bardagou. In the story, the Mages are called Grisha and their magic is known as the small science. One type of Grisha are the Corporalki, or the Order of the Living and the Dead. They can control the human body to cure it or to kill it. However their powers only work on humans.
If mutants had been around in large numbers from the very beginning, of course they would be the ones in power in the present day. But as a relatively recently emerging power, they are instead a rising threat to established power structures, and would have to be dealt with swiftly and severely to prevent the balance of power from flipping. In such a case, there are two different kinds of power competing, and the mundane sort is initially greater and more established than the supernatural, which is potentially greater, but only if it is able to develop into something organised and coherent.
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***Go North 2, West 4, North 3 into a teleporter. Go South 1, East to the wall, North 3, East to the wall, North 1, and then West 1. You'll see a portal, hit Q on the keyboard to go up it (Z is down FYI). If you can't go West to the portal you'll have to go North 1, West 2, South 1, East 1 to it. Either way you'll be in level 3.
Level 3
Go East 2, South 1, West 4, East 2, South 1, West 4. Go South to the wall, then West to the wall. Go North 1 and then East to the wall. Go North 1 and then West until you reach a door (don't go inside) and then South 2. Go West to a wall, South until you reach a door going East and go through, then North to the wall. Go East 1 and then South to a wall, and then West 2 to be teleported. All 4 directions are a teleporter, but only the teleporter North of you is the right one, so make sure you go North. From here follow the path until the area opens up, go South to the wall and then quicksave. Go East through the door and you'll have a fight against 4 groups of 99 Berserkers.
Have your Bard use his horn on the closest group, have both mages use Mind Blade. Both Mind Blades should kill almost all of them with the horn, the real question is do enough of them get turns to kill your allies before then, which is why you quicksaved. Once they're dead, go South 4 East 6 into a spinner. Activate the compass if it isn't on and then keep turning until you face East, do so twice. Quicksave and then go East again.
Approach the statue for a boss fight. My hunter crit it second turn so I have no clue how hard the fight is, but he did 50 damage before she did, so probably not going to challenge you unless you're super low on HP/spell points. You'll be teleported just outside Kylearan's Tower after you win. Note that the two gates here are one way trips, meaning you'll have to go back through Harkyn's tower if you leave, so don't go through them. Enter Kylearan's Tower. AA will not work here, so we must walk through it. Even though it is only one level, it's a clusterfuck of teleports with a ton of walking so it isn't easy to navigate. So just a warning: the map looks awful. Sorry!
Kylearan's Tower
The yellow arrow is the first path, then light blue is the next, followed by green.
Level 1
To start with, West 2, North 1, West 1 into a teleporter. Use Scry Site and go West 2, South 1, East 1, South 1 through an anti-magic field and then West into a teleporter. Go South 1, East 3, South 1, West. Answer "STONE GOLEM" to be teleported. Go South 1, West 1, South 2, then East to the wall, South 4, West 1 through the door. Answer "SINISTER". Go East 1, South 4, then West to the wall. Go South until you hit a wall. Go West once and then go North and follow this path until you go through a door. Go South once and then West once. Go North 1, West 1, South to the wall, West 1, North to the wall and then West 1. Go North until you get a Silver Triangle. Go South to the wall, East 1, South 1, West 1, and then South to the wall. Go East to the wall, South to the wall, West 1, North 1, West 1, North 1, West 2, and then go South to the wall. Go East 1, South 2, East 2, and then quicksave. Go South to fight the Crystal Golem. Have everyone with a Crystal Sword attack, and have everyone who doesn't defend until it dies. You'll get an achievement.
