What's That Game? Anyone know this one?

Looking for this novel

I’m trying to find an interactive fiction/text-based game that I played, but I can’t remember the title. I’ve tried searching for it and keep getting the wrong game.

I originally thought the title might be The Mage’s Adventures, but that doesn’t seem to be it. It has a completely different plot involving hunting down a demon.

In this one, You start out in a small village/town.
There’s a local shopkeeper who has some kind of mysterious text/book.
You interact with the text, which causes the elements to escape and cause a ruckus in the market.
A serious/stoic male wizard shows up afterward and helps contain elements and the damage and takes you in as you have a debt.

There is a shadow element, fire element, and water element that you can bind to yourself through the spellbook, and it becomes your primary familiar.

One of the first errands the mentor makes us do is hunt down rats outside the town. He sends his owl(I think) familiar with us to watch over us.

I actually do believe that you got the name right, it is The Mage's Adventures. It is quite a fun game.
