MAGIUM - IDEAL WALKTHROUGH

Magium is a D&D inspired text-based game.

Here, we play as Barry, who is an ordinary guy, except for the fact that his lifelong dream has been to become a mage. 

The game consists of a stat system, where you receive points at some intervals which can be invested in various stats.

 

This walkthrough is called ideal because it aims at an efficient use of stat points, to make you well-informed and resourceful, to make as many allies as possible while also enabling you to fight enemies directly when possible.

Some choices which are considered to be important and their outcome is yet unknown, have been marked as PIE (Probable Important Event).
