Implements of the Arcane

Intro to Implements of the Arcane is a fantasy interactive fiction game. This is the IntroComp version, meaning that it is incomplete, ending after a relatively short time.

You are an arcanist, a type of mage, who has been attacked by bandits. While you managed to fend off many with a risky move, more of them were there to rob you blind while you were unconscious. They left you for dead with nothing more than your clothes and a seemingly worthless wooden circlet.

This circlet though is the reason you are still alive - it is an implement of the arcane, an object that functions while holding a spell. The circlet in particular provides its spell's effect to you - and the circlet currently holds a healing spell.
