The Mystic Well is a Dungeon Master like RPG. A powerful wizard once enchanted his life force into a golden skull and then proclaimed himself to be a God. After his ascent to Godhood, he conquered the citadel known as Mystic Mirror to show his power. The player must now foil the evil wizard’s plan on world destruction. The game consists of 10 levels and the player has won once he/she destroys the golden skull on the top level.

- Priest: His vigor is high and he has the ability to pray. Praying grants some healing, some protection and a map of the surroundings. He gets 8 hp per level
- Wizard: He can use spell books without destroying them. He gains 4 hp per level
