Underground levels, however, do not have rival wizards. It featured the addition of night-time levels, and underground levels, which not only helped alleviate the repetitiveness of the preceding game, but also accompanied the storyline progression, which was mapped out before each level. The basic concept of the game remains the same as Magic Carpet, with the player being able to build a castle, collect mana, destroy creatures for their mana and battle rival sorcerers. Magic Carpet 2 fixed many of the design complaints present in the first Magic Carpet. Upon emerging victorious, a volcano spews out mana in all different colours. After the apprentice destroys the citadel, Vissiluth emerges and the two do battle. After the enemy wizards are vanquished, the apprentice takes an underground passage to reach Vissiluth's citadel. They are all based in a city just before Vissiluth's seat of power. The NPC wizards are now considered to be Vissiluth's lackeys.

It's once again up to this apprentice to stop him, by battling this demon. The apprentice's master, who died after unleashing his deadly spell, was being spied upon by the Netherworld's ruler, Vissiluth, who is now intent on conquering the world of the living.
