What is Ars Magica 4^th Edition?

Ars Magica is an award-winning roleplaying game about wizards in the 13^th century. It is a land of adventure and mystery, of falling empires and rising nations, of legendary creatures and incredible myths.

At the center of your saga is the covenant: the magi, their companions, and their Grog servants. Step into the shoes of each group with Ars Magica's unique troupe-style play.

Stories revolve around the covenant, which is part mystical college, part magical laboratory, part Hermetic fortification, and part bastion of secrecy.

What secrets will you possess? What powers will you unleash? What enemies will you face? Find out in Ars Magica.

Apprenticeships: Gameplay Basics

In Ars Magica, players contribute to the story of their covenant with multiple characters and troupe-style play. Sagas can be small-scale, local tales, or sweeping fantasy epics.

The game set the standard for RPG magic rules. These simple yet flexible rules allow players to create their desired effects without relying on a standard list of spells.

This 4^th edition core book introduces a unique combat system, improvements in character advancement, and expanded rules on covenant generation. Although the 4^th edition of Ars Magica is out of print, it is available as a FREE PDF download.
