Spellcaster is a Sega Master System video game that involved a monk that can cast magic spells. The setting is feudal Japan and the option is 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 explorer and people to talk to as the player assembles clues on who desecrated his home town's temple and killed its guardians. Unlike most games, death does not lead to game over or even a loss of money or experience points. Instead, the player has to use a password in order to resurrect themselves from the dead. This game was known in Japan as Kujaku Ō (孔雀王 Peacock King?) and in South America as Warrior Quest.
