After Magister attacks Anna Kyohyama and tears apart The Tome of the Shaman, scattered its pages across the Inn, the protagonists engage in a fierce struggle to secure the secrets contained within. The player's goal is to recover all lost pages before Magister can use them to bring the ancient Shaman back to life.
Story
Background
It is a rare day off during the Grand Shaman Tournament for Yoh Asakura and his friends. They are relaxing at the Inferno Inn, blissfully unaware that disaster is about to strike.

"I am here to bring Mephias, victor of the Shaman Fights of 4,500 years ago, to life."
The Conflict
With that, Magister lunges at Anna Kyohyama, who is holding The Tome of the Shaman. A fierce fight ensues over the treasured volume, which is torn apart. The pages fly away in every direction.
Magister's dastardly plot involves using the secrets concealed in The Tome of the Shaman to resuscitate Mephias for an evil purpose. Yoh and his friends must prevent the return of Mephias by securing the lost pages of The Tome of the Shaman before Magister finds them...
