Firstly, I enjoyed playing this through to the end. The puzzles were definitely on the easy side but I thought probably suited the story which would be best enjoyed by a younger audience. The magus character was also quite humourous.
A few things: I got a bit confused with directions around the chasm/cliff area; also, it took me a while to realise that you have to look at things to interact with them; it would have been nice to be able to use less specific words when combining objects (e.g. "pen" instead of "quill pen"); and finally, I think you meant "dais", rather than "dias".
It seems to be a bit buggy in general for me (I had to "say" multiple times before it worked). I also think I crashed it by typing "t" with no arguments when I was supposed to draw.
Seems like it could be interesting but the interface frustrated me a bit much (requiring to be too specific).

The very first command works, then whatever I type, even "help" fails with "command not understood."
Interesting little game. I would have used bootstrap to make it 'look pretty', but it's cool that you did a text-based one regardless.
I didn't make it very far... just picked up the pen and paper, tried combining and couldn't. I also talked to the old man, but couldn't reply with gender. It would be nice to know what are the current actionable things to do.
