Amul is a prince who has the ability to summon lightning with his sword which transforms him into a giant blue dragon. He is on a mission to rescue his lover, Alicia, from the demon Zawell who has captured her and taken her prisoner. You control Amul in his dragon form throughout the game. Initially, Amul's dragon form only contains one head, and is at the lowest level of firepower. However, it's possible to collect a variety of [[../Items|power-up orbs]] that can increase the number of heads you possess, up to a maximum of three, or increase your fire power. See the Power-ups section below for more information.


==Characters==
Amul loses health whenever he collides with an enemy in the air, or is struck by any enemy projectile. Whenever he is struck, he is very briefly invulnerable, which is indicated by flashing. There is no way to recover lost health points. Once Amul loses all of his health points (usually 2 in the arcade, or 3 for home conversions), he will die, and you lose one life. If you have any remaining lives, you will continue from a designated checkpoint in the stage, with full health but at the lowest level of power. Amul can earn extra lives by attaining certain point levels, or collecting three Extend power-ups.

The protagonist of the game. At the start of the game, he holds his magic sword up to the sky, which gets struck by lightning and transforms him into the blue dragon you see on the right. Below Amul's normal dragon form you see how he appears with two and three heads respectively.


===Powerups===
{{Footer Nav|game=Dragon Spirit|nextpage=Items}}
*'''Blue Egg''': When this is bombed, a blue ball will fly out. If you obtain it, Amul will grow another head. Obtain another when Amul already has two heads and he will grow a third head. When Amul is hit with multiple heads, he loses one of them.
*'''Red Egg''': When this is bombed, a red ball will fly out. Obtain three in order to get level 2 flames. Obtain three more when Amul already has level 2 flames and he will get level 3 flames, but when he is hit with level 3 flames, he will be reduced back to level 2 flames and if he is hit with level 2 flames, he will be reduced to normal flames.
*'''Long Fire''': When you obtain this, Amul becomes green, and will shoot flames similar to level 3 flames.
*'''Small Dragon''': When this is obtained, Amul becomes smaller (much to the player's delight), but when he gets hit he will return to his normal size.
*'''Wide Fire''': When this is obtained, Amul becomes white, and will shoot flames similar to anti-aircraft fire.
*'''Earthquake''': When this is obtained, the ground will start shaking, and any enemies on screen will be instantly killed.
*'''Power Wing''': When this is obtained, Amul becomes temporarily invincible. Any enemies flying into him will be instantly killed.
*'''Homing Fire''': When this is obtained, Amul becomes gold, and his flames will home in on any enemies on screen.
*'''Magic Eye''': Only appears on the eighth stage. When obtained, it will temporarily make Amul's field of vision much larger.
*'''Power Down''': If you see this one, avoid it at all costs. Obtaining it equals a hit.
*'''Dia''': Obtaining this gives you 100 extra points.
*'''Gold''': Obtaining this gives you 10000 extra points.
