I have just started a LostMagic LP and have been uploaded it to Youtube, but I'm really not very far though, they are still introducing the characters and the action hasn't really picked up yet.

Anyway, for an actual explaination. You are a kid that is the son of one of the seven sages. The sage of balance goes crazy and starts stealing all of their wands. You must challenge her, but you must learn the runes from all of the sages first. This is basically the story without any of the fun twists.

The gameplay works like this. You can control up to 3 different groups of monsters at a time. Most of the weaker monsters come in groups of three, while the stronger come in groups of two, and the legendary dragons come in groups of 1. You build a group of monsters to control which do all of the physical attacking for you while you cast spells.

Spells work like this. There are 18 runes. You can cast a single rune to produce an effect that matches that rune. Laster in the game you pick up the "duo" rune, which allows you to cast 2 runes at once. Their effect is based on the first rune, and their power and attribute is based on the second rune. Then even later in the game, you learn "trio" runes. You can probably guess what these do, you combine 3 runes together. This produces a shitton of rune combonations, but they don't all work, so you have to experiment to find useful combonations(or look at the spell list), These spells tend to work in cycles, but quite a few are random as shit, self cannon anyone?

Currently the only game in the series released here is for the DS, but there is a japanese game called Takt of Magic currently released, but I doubt localization. It is for the wii.

In conclusion, its fun as shit, with a pretty unique battle system. If you want to check out the game, you can watch my youtube vids which have links in the video section, or buy it for 5 bucks, because I believe that is what it is selling at gamestop.

Too bad the online is dead except for this place, it was a blast.

Thank you kind sir for fullfiling my desire for knowledge. And all I can say is...DAMN, now I really want to try it. Too bad I don't have DS and I'm feeling very akward about playing with emulator <_<

Still sounds truly a fun game and also what is your YT identity? Gotta send a friend invite or subscribe to ya so I can see some of that game.

Lost Magic is a DS RPG game with a fun Wi-Fi mode. It's so big to us because the original members, the one's who started Rouge Mages, came to gether by lost magic. It is still big to day because most of our members still play the game

the game play is that you are this mage named Issac, and you can have three sets of monsters and while your monster attack, you use powerful magic

I know all this because I checked out everything in this clan before I joined so I was more ahead then I needed to be

If you have other questions I can answer, I would be glad to help you with anything

That should be a link to the first vid in the series, feel free to subscribe to my channel, which is under the name Arcon1ous.

I'm not too far into it right now, only about 23 minutes into it, which isn't really past the good part yet, but I should be updating it rather reguarly.

Also, the controls are a little bad on the emulator, as the drawing is aqkward and take a little extra time for any accuracy, so you may see me spam the easier spells, a lot, especially in early game, until I get used to the new control scheme.

After getting a decent bit into LostMagic, I'm going to start playing other games as well.

I hope you find a way to play it, preferably with a DS if you ever get one.

It's one of my top DS games that I own, I don't play it as much as I should anymore though. Game FAQs also holds a small group of players who play on Fridays every once in awhile. Just a warning, but a few of the members there (2000double in particular) are impossibly good because of their constant playing of the game and they can be a bit more disheartening to play against if you've just started the game. lol

Yeah, that happened to basically all of us Ody, as much as I don't want to admit it. I still remember that its one of two games that I ever convinced someone to get. good memory. Unlike the hell of the second Geh Olg fight.

I don't think Gus uses his email, but you can contact him on AIM @ NeverDieThree or on Skype @ 2000Double. He also regularly checks the LostMagic board on Gamefaqs.com.
