[edit] Story
Rassin Abbey has guarded its arcane treasures for centuries. But when their Black Grimoire is stolen, the land of Ruddlestone is plunged into a crisis of epic proportions. For the ancient book holds the key to the legendary Casket of Shadows - and the Evil imprisoned within it. Should it be opened, the Infernal Beast will be unleashed to wreak its terrible carnage across the Old World.
On the night of Shekka’s Moon, scant days away, this will surely come to pass. Unless, that is, one brave hero can retrieve the Black Grimoire in the nick of time - a hero like YOU!
The player takes the role of a warrior going on a pilgrimage to purify his soul. After inadvertently helping a villain to steal the Black Grimoire, the player must retrieve the book from a coven of evil witches and warlocks before time runs out.
[edit] Wizard version
The Wizard editions of Spellbreaker and Curse of the Mummy have been revised in order to make them more playable. Spellbreaker has fewer edited references than Curse of the Mummy. Some enemies have reduced SKILL scores and there have been several bug fixes.
