However, a limited 'Wizard's Edition' release of the title did include the book as part of a luxury collection, as well as a stuffed doll of Drippy. When White Witch was created, the book was included in digital format. The localization and printing cost of the book is widely blamed for the lack of an international release of that version of the game note An update for 3DS with a digital copy of the book is apparently a possibility. The most notable feature of the Jet-Black Mage was that the Wizard's Companion was an actual hardbound 392-page book that shipped with the game and was required to progress through the game.

Drippy gives Oliver a magic book, the Wizard's Companion, and Oliver sets out into the other world in order to save his mother.

Alicia and Allie are linked, and if Alicia is saved, then there's a chance Allie will be, too. There, an evil sorcerer has taken a sage named Alicia hostage. His tears fall on a crude yet lovable doll his mother gave him, and set the spirit inside free!

Yes, it's that kind of game.įor weeks, the grief-stricken Oliver holes up in his room and cries. The physical exertion is sadly too much for her, and she swiftly dies of a heart attack. His mother leaps in to save him and pulls him to the shore. To try it out, Oliver sneaks out in the middle of the night for a test drive-unfortunately, he plunges straight into the river. He and his best friend have been working on making the best racing kart ever-it's already looking pretty snazzy. Oliver is a young boy living a tiny, picturesque town loosely based on America in The '50s.
