The Crag-Path Ascent

The Crag-Path Ascent is the introductory level of the game. It takes the player from the misty shores of Veil-Mist Bay up to the lower gates of Mistcliff Reach.

Layout

The level is a series of narrow ledges, wooden scaffolding, and steep stone stairs. It emphasizes verticality and the precarious nature of the setting.

Encounters

• Environmental: Crumbling platforms that require a 'Structural' spell to stabilize.
• Creatures: Mist-Crabs that have been agitated by nearby leaks.
• Narrative: Meeting a Cliff-Guard scout who explains the dangers of the rising magic.

Secrets

• A hidden cave behind a waterfall containing a rare species of Glowing Flora.

Design Notes

This level should teach the player the basics of Environmental Spellcasting and introduce the first choice in Moral Tapping.
