The lower right corner of the board display shows some useful information about the luminosity cycle. L for light, and D for dark. To select a creature, use your controls to move the cursor to the requested creature, then press fire to select it. Then use your controls to move the creature to where you want it to go, and press fire again to complete the move. A creature may travel only up to a certain distance per turn, and the move you make will be restricted to this limit.
Creatures belong to either of two classes.
Fly creatures, on the other hand, are not limited in this way, and may move through any square, wheather it is occupied or not. In the latter case, the game play will change to field mode. Spells are cast in place of a regular movement. This means that in a single, a mage can move, or he or she can cast a spell, but never both things at once. There are seven different kinds of spells.
