The game takes place in the Zork universe. This was the first game in " The Enchanter Trilogy" which included Enchanter, Sorcerer, and SpellBreaker. The game puts the player in the shoes of a novice Enchanter sent against the dark necromancer Krill. The player is sent by the Enchanters' Guild in the hope that the mighty sorcerer will either not notice so lowly a wizard, or not see him as a threat. The game, in its boxed format, shipped with a Directory of Guilds, an Enchanters' Guild Pin, a Scroll listing the spells "Frotz", "Gnusto", "Nitfol", and "Blorb", a map of locations in the game, and a booklet entitled "A Brief History of Magic."
