In the second installment of the Magic Candle series, The Magic Candle II: The Four and Forty picks up the fantasy role playing adventure ten years after the evil demon Dreax was subdued and sent back to confinement within the rebuilt Magic Candle. You can import your own characters from either The Magic Candle or The Keys to Maramon or use one of five pre-developed characters including the now knighted Sir Lukas. Nearly all command and game mechanics remain the same as in the original title. Only the story itself and some added spell books and new characters dot the familiar landscape in this installment. Mouse support is now available in this version (2.0) of the game and the same keyboard interface and controls are utilized. As the title suggests, this episode deals with the missing 44 mages from the first game and action starts rolling on the island of Oshcrun where King Rebnard has taken over the above ground levels of the evil horde's home, Castle Oshcrun, and eventually incorporates the surrounding land of Gurtex.
