Black Magic is a multidirectional scrolling action-adventure game written for the Apple II by Peter Ward of Action Software and published by Datasoft in 1987.
The player moves through a large, vertically and horizontally scrolling world, picking up food, arrows, and spells.
A large bird can carry the player to a different part of the world, similar to the bat in Adventure for the Atari 2600.
For example, Vanish prevents damage from monsters and casting Chill on water immobilizes the creatures and allows the frozen surface to be walked across.
Once all six eyes have been found and placed in the Blind Statue's empty sockets, a message appears explaining how to end Zahgrim's rule over the land once and for all.
