	~~Reduce~~ your ~~opponent's health~~ to ~~0 first~~		You are wizards vying for the seat of the dead Archmage. Defeat your opponents and be the last wizard standing to become the new Keeper of the Grimoire.


			== Objective ==
			Damage your opponent until their health reaches 0, while preventing your own health from doing the same. Do this by drawing spells and casting them for various effects, some dealing damage and some restoring your power.
	==Turn==		==Turn==

	~~A turn is made up of 5 phases~~		At the beginning of the game, player 1 takes one spell, then player 2 takes one spell. Player one takes another spell. Then player 2 plays their turn as normal.

	~~• Choose a Spell~~

	~~• Cooldown~~

	~~• Gain Mana~~

	~~• Cast~~

	~~• Basic Attack~~

	~~(For~~ the ~~first three turns~~ of the game, ~~players skip the mana/cast/attack steps and instead just choose~~ 1 spell ~~on their turn.)~~


	~~====Choose a Spell====~~

	~~From those on display~~, ~~pick~~ one ~~and add it to your area~~

	~~If your area already contains 6 spells, you must choose and discard an existing~~ spell (one ~~which has no cooldown mana on it) to make room~~


	~~====Cooldown====~~

	~~Remove a single Mana off all your spells~~


	~~====Gain Mana====~~

	~~Draw 3 mana cards, mana cards have values between 1 and 4~~

	~~Maximum mana hand size of 10 cards~~


	~~====Cast====~~

	~~Any~~ spell ~~which is not on cooldown (i~~.e. ~~has no mana cards beneath it) can be cast if the player wishes and is able to~~

	~~Spend the number of Mana cards ('''not''' the card values) required and place these on the cast spell in a staggered way so it's clear how much mana is left~~

	~~Some cards cost 0 Mana, so no cards are required~~		Each turn is made up of 5 phases.

			=== Choose a Spell ===
			Choose a spell from the Spell Pool and add it to your Spell Repertoire. You can have up to 6 spells. If you choose an additional spell, you must discard an existing spell with no mana to make room. This phase is skipped if all 6 spells have mana on them.

	===~~=Basic Attack=~~===		=== Spell Cool Down ===
			A single mana card is removed from each spell in your Spell Repetoire.

	~~You may discard a single~~ Mana card ~~and deal damage equal to its~~ value (1-4)		=== Gain Mana ===
			Draw 3 mana cards into your hand. Each mana card has a strength value between 1 and 4. Max hand size is 10.

	~~As such, you~~ may ~~want to think about what Mana~~ cards ~~are generically used during~~ the ~~Cast phase~~		=== Cast Spells ===
			Players may cast spells from their Spell Repertoire by placing the number of required mana cards (not the accumulative mana strength) on them. The spell must not have any pre-existing mana cards on it.

			=== Basic Attack ===
			You may discard a single mana card and deal damage equal to its strength value (1-4).
			==Spell Anatomy==

	~~==Spells in Detail==~~		Each card has a spell type, a spell activation, and a spell cost.

	~~Spells have various effects as described on~~ the ~~cards~~		==== Spell Types ====
			'''Damage''' (red): These cards primarily damage the opponent.

	~~However, what~~'~~s common between them is the information on the top left banner, which tells you THREE pieces of information~~		'''Regeneration''' (green): These cards primarily gain additional mana.

	~~The number on~~ the ~~stack~~ of ~~cards icon tells you how many mana cards are required to cast it, and, in~~ the ~~same way, tell you how many cooldown turns until it can be cast again (ignoring potential other spell effects which could alter this)~~		'''Utility''' (violet): These cards primarily manipulate mana or the rules of the game.

	~~The symbol in the circle tells you how it will activate, either immediate effect~~ (~~Down Arrow~~), ongoing effect (Circle Arrow), or a delayed effect (Side Arrow). Immediate effects occur as soon as you cast it and that's it. Ongoing effects occur as long as there is still mana on the card. Delayed effects occur each time a mana card is removed from it, either through the normal cooldown or perhaps another spell's effect.		==== Activation Types ====
			'''Instant''' (down arrow): The spell goes into immediate effect after casting.

	The ~~colour of the circle tells you the type of effect. The effect itself~~ is ~~in the description, but the colour just gives you an at~~ a ~~glance idea of what~~ it ~~might do~~. ~~Red circles deal damage, Green circles gain mana cards, Purple circles break~~ the ~~rules of the game in some way~~		'''Delayed''' (right arrow): The spell is activated when a mana card is removed from it. This can happen by a spell's effect or during the Spell Cool Down phase.

			'''Ongoing''' (arrow in circle): The spell is activated as long as there is a mana card on it.

			==== Spell Cost ====
			Each card displays a number indicating how many mana cards must be placed on the card to activate it. Spells with higher costs tend to be more powerful.
	==Game End==		==Game End==

	The game ends the moment one player is reduced to 0 life, at which point their opponent wins!		The game ends the moment one player is reduced to 0 life, at which point their opponent wins!

Any spell which is visible, as in it has no mana on it, can be cast if the player wishes and is able to

Spend the number of Mana cards, NOT the card values, required and place these on the cast spell in a staggered way so it's clear how many mana is left

Some cards cost 0 Mana, so no cards are required

===Basic Attack===

You may discard a single Mana card and deal damage equal to its value (1-4)

As such, you may want to think about what Mana cards are generically used during the Cast phase

===Spells in Detail===

Spells have various effects as described on the cards

However, what's common between them is the information on the top left banner, which tells you THREE pieces of information

The number on the stack of cards icon tells you how many mana cards are required to cast it, and, in the same way, tell you how many cooldown turns until it can be cast again (ignoring potential other spell effects which could alter this)

The symbol in the circle tells you how it will activate, either immediate effect, ongoing effect, or a delayed effect. Immediate effects occur as soon as you cast it and that's it. Ongoing effects occur as long as there is still mana on the card. Delayed effects occur each time a mana card is removed from it, either through the normal cooldown or perhaps another spell's effect.

The colour of the circle tells you the type of effect. The effect itself is in the description, but the colour just gives you an at a glance idea of what it might do. Red circles deal damage, Green circles gain mana cards, Purple circles break the rules of the game in some way

==Game End===

The game ends the moment one player is reduced to 0 life, their opponent wins!
