    If you're looking for a short, fun, single-player romp through magical realms on your PC, this game is a great choice to satisfy that urge.

    After some time playing Avencast: Rise of the Mage, I discovered that sadly it's not the wizard experience I was hoping for, with all its talk of ditching maths for more shooter-style gameplay - both of which it achieves to varying degrees.
