A really interesting roguelike that introduced me to some fun mechanics which I still think about from time to time. The flux meter in particular is just genius. You can cast as much magic as you want, but it triggers random effects when you pass your limit. A friend of mine even used that concept in a tabletop RPG he ran, and he went wild with the random effect table.

Choose one of four classes of mages and start your adventure on the Tower of the Archmage!
Customize and create your own spells, defeat your foes in strategic turn-based combat, discover many different enemies, random runes, unique creatures and 25 floors of procedurally-generated dungeons.
Be careful, for many dangers await you in the tower, and your death will be permanent, though your successor will always keep some of your knowledge.
awesome epic game. one problem though, I don't know how to cancel a spell, so i clicked on it again and i hit myself. i didn't noticed that I hit myself and thought it was canceled, so just to make sure i clicked it again and I fucking died. fuck you.
anyway amazing game and hope it gets more popular! fuck you still!
Probably the most innovative roguelike ever made for in recent years. According to my ass.
and if you still have trouble playing it with Ruffle or NG Player, the SWF is still downloadable from Maxgames.

Possibly the best flash roguelike around and one of the best rpgs on the site
Its fun to experiment with all the different runes in here. I found out how to stack the power of the clouds with the alchemist to insane levels (possibly a bug: was using the absorb rune with a broad range cloud spell again and again to stack the power and the duration, which can pretty much stack up my power infinitely).
