Geez. That brings back memories. I loved that game. The point was to
acquire all the disciplines (like making plants grow, moving things
with your mind, etc..) and eventually you wound up going "Below the
Root" to find a young person who had been kidnapped. I think that
the game ended when you found her -- I don't think that you had to
navigate your way back to the surface, but I could be wrong. It's been
about a decade since I played it.
