many spells had abstract MP levels to cast it, which would affect the damage taken to the target of the spell on a 1:1 ratio. For example, if Billy the mage cast the spell "Flame Bolt" on Jeramiah the fighter, and he had 50 MP available to him, he could blow all his MP and do 45 damage to Jeramiah the fighter (5 MP base cost +45 MP damage). Combat In Demon's Lair, combat was run using a die-vs-die system. The attacker would roll his "Combat Die" (CD) versus the opponents "Physical Defense Die" (PDD). After modifiers are added, the high roll wins. (ties went to the attacker) All weapons did a set amount of damage. Magical attacks would work in a similar fashion, where the spellcaster's "Magic Defense Die" (MDD) would roll off against the defender's MDD. The high roll would win.

Each class-header would get a d10, d8, and a d12 for each die-type. Terrania Characters in the Demon's Lair game system would tromp around in the make-believe world of Terrania. The politics of Terrania were such that, at the point of the system being released, the kingdoms were all-encompassing within the continents. The continents were spaced apart within 1 to 2 week boat rides. Five of the kingdoms were formally the mega-continent of Lasalion, which was torn asunder during the war with the demon, Torlon. The remaining kingdoms were known as the "outlands." Bonlund Bonlund was a kingdom that was north of the central kingdom of Dybana, and was one of the continents that tore apart from the original continent of Lasalion.

The styles & cultures were similar to that of dynastic China, and feudal Japan. Mastma Mastma lied east of the central kingdom of Dybana, and was the third Lasalion continent. It was a desert land, with small similarities to ancient Egypt, but with more similarities to a gun-free American west. (the tech for firearms was not developed on Terrania as yet) Norfic The fourth Lasalion continent fell south of Dybana, the central kingdom. It was mostly filled with nomadic tribes, and had a culture
