"Hrrm... now, what did that scroll do again? Oh, I think this one is supposed to be Identi- ***BOOM***"

The Gimmick

Mad Mage is about subverting the Identification minigame in Roguelikes. Roguelikes commonly expose the player to new and mysterious items, whose properties are not immediately clear until said item is tried or identified.

In Mad Mage, you start with all potions and scrolls IDed, but you'll slowly forget the identifications...
