SpellCaster is a Master System video game that stars a character named Kane. This game was known in Japan as Kujaku Ō (孔雀王, Peacock King) and in South America as Warrior Quest. It had a sequel, Mystic Defender.
Plot
The game starts when Kane is summoned by Daikak, the great leader of the Summit Temple, to stop a war between factions of warlords. The player explores temples and defeats enemies like ghosts, ninja and feral beasts. There are also villages to explore and people to talk to as the player assembles clues on who desecrated his home town's temple and killed its guardians. The quest takes the player across medieval Japan and to the Underworld.
