Mind Over Magic

Mind Over Magic is a colony simulation game about building a magic school and keeping its mages alive and inspired. You manage the school, teach students, study lost arcana, grow exotic plants, brew potions and prepare mages to explore the dangerous Underschool. A deadly fog also threatens to consume everything in its path.

Build your school

Construct the school brick by brick, designing rooms and choosing furniture, wallpaper, lighting and decorations. Experiment with layouts to find hidden efficiency bonuses and balance appearance with function.

Explore below the school

The Underschool is a mysterious labyrinth of dark secrets, deadly magic and ghastly creatures. Exploring deeper brings greater rewards, but dangers can also reach beyond the underground.

Far beneath the school, the Nexus is a fractured realm of pure magic where reality is tenuous. Your mages must fight powerful enemies, restore its crumbling fragments and break the curse. Only the most skilled can face the challenges beyond the veil.

Raise magical beasts

Research and discover mystical beasts that can serve the school and provide resources. They need food, affection and magical care to grow into allies, supplying rare materials for crafting and construction. You can also attempt to raise a dragon, which needs specialized student caretakers. In return, dragons let mages go on quests beyond the school walls to uncover secrets, gain unique powers and shape the academy’s future.

Use magic at school

Practitioners of Dark magic can animate Quilted, undead helpers that gather resources, tend plants, repair school damage and mine materials. Broom racks let students use flight to reduce travel time across the growing campus.

Teach and equip mages

Shape students’ magical growth by setting their daily schedules, assigning teachers and customizing their education. Equip them with potions, relics and increasingly powerful wands, each of which grants distinct magical advantages. What students learn and the tools they carry affect both their combat ability and their contribution to the school’s daily work.

Apprenticed students can multiclass to learn a range of spells or focus on one discipline to unlock powerful ultimate abilities. These skills help them face the dangers of the Nexus.
