Bloodstone is a 1993 high fantasy computer role-playing game developed and published by Mindcraft Software. The game is a prequel to The Magic Candle series and uses the Magic Candle III engine.

The game begins as the main character's clan (default name "Dannat" if male, or "Danta" if female) being attacked by the vicious Talador. The Talador are goblin-like creatures who seemed to be crused in violent bloodlust. The Main objective of the game is to retrieve Khamalkhad and join the warring tribes of the North and South. The game employs an interesting religion where you can go to the resting points of certain gods and receive a permanent skill increase by uttering the word to speak with them. The game empolys creatures like the Tlengle (Lizardfolk) Humans, Dwarves, Talador, Wizards, and Amazans. Magic is done in an odd way; the amount of a specific spell numbers one to ninety-nine. As you cast a spell you use up one "use" when you run out of uses you either forget the spell or buy a totem, to learn the specific spell by assigning your character to study the magic.
