Frequently Asked Questions

Wizardly Way is a free-to-play, location-based fantasy RPG for Android. It turns the real map around you into Talamh, a magical version of Earth, where you craft spells from words of power, battle monsters, capture bosses, seal rifts and wake landmarks with other wizards nearby. See How to Play.

No. Early versions moved your character only when you physically moved, which was limiting and not always safe. The game now loads the area you're in and lets you explore it freely in-game, so it plays just as well standing still as it does on a walk.

It shares the idea of a game world laid over the real map, but Wizardly Way is a full fantasy RPG: you level up a wizard, craft your own spells, gear up, follow a story and clear dungeons. And you don't need to walk to explore.

There is no PvP. You won't see other players on the map, but you share the same world: wizards nearby wake landmarks together, seal each other's rifts and push back the Wane as a community. Team boss battles, where you join a lobby and fight a boss together, are planned after launch.

Every spell is built from five spell words. You learn words by casting Capture on a boss or champion and then defeating it, or by buying them from traveling vendors. Then you combine words into spells anywhere. See Magic and Spell Words.

Wizardly Way is in active development by a solo developer and has been through friends-and-family alpha testing. There is no public release date yet. Follow progress on the Roadmap, the Dev Log, and Bluesky, or join the mailing list for beta news.

A Moot Stone is a landmark players propose at a real public place in their neighborhood. From level 5 you can tap Found a Moot Stone, take a photo with the in-app camera, name it and spend 50 Mana Petals. Each submission is reviewed by hand. Approved stones grow stronger the more wizards visit. Read the Moot Stone guidelines.

The first release will be on Android. An iOS version is planned once the Android version is stable.

Wizardly Way will be free to play, with optional in-game purchases.
