All of the champions fall into the four classes of Warrior, Mage, Adventurer or Thief (referred to as 'cutpurse' in game), each with their own particular capability. Within each class there are four characters available, each with their own colour of Red, Blue, Green or Yellow representing a magical alignment. These colours act as a consistent theme during the game, to the characters they have their own particular advantage, largely with respect to the families of spells the character will be most adept at casting and developing. The green spells are determined for the 'Serpent' (representing the physical), the blue spells are determined for the 'Moon' (representing mind and illusion), the red spells for the 'Dragon' (for fire and energy) and the yellow spells for 'Chaos' (affecting magic itself and entropy).

The four of the Towers navigated by the characters, and the Crystals which are required to be collected from each are also within this theme, and the colours are also important when it comes to matching up coloured wands later in the game to magnify the effects of spell-casting. Other objects such as rings (which allow 'free' spell casting) and certain weapons also align with these colours. 

One particularly memorable quirk of the game is the ability granted to players to hold simple conversations with traders, other champions, and even enemies during combat. Stock pseudo-medieval phrases such as "Truly my courage is remarkable" and "Begone, thou oaf" are selected using a menu, and can be used in combination to flatter a desired companion, aggravate an enemy, or lower the price of an item which the player wishes to purchase. Many players have found that the price of a long sword (RRP 10 gold pieces) can fall to as little as 6 or 7 after the shopkeeper has been flattered with phrases such as "Thou seems fine", particularly when this strategy is used in conjunction with the Beguile spell (a blue/moon spell, most effectively cast by Megrim).
