Description

The language of creation was stolen and given to Eve, and with it the power to alter reality. Inheritors of this forbidden knowledge have walked amongst us for millennia, scrabbling for greater power, controlling mankind, seeking god-hood, and they are known as Magi. Serpent's Tongue is a spell-casting simulation game, with a standalone core set that is expandable with Inscription Packs. In the game, players become Magi by building their Hardbound Spell Codex with Incantations and casting them using an actual functioning language, whether in competitive battles or cooperative adventures.
