Magic System

The modular system of Practices, Spells, and Tags.

Spells are the primary expressions of magical power. Each spell is a structured effect defined by its Practice, Attunement, and Risk Class Tags.

Spell Structure

  • Practice: The school of magic the spell belongs to (18 total).
  • Attunement: The suit that determines which Arcana Asso can pay for it.
  • Tags (5 slots): One Tag per Risk Class (RC-0 through RC-4), unlocked sequentially.

Attunements (The Four Suits)

Each spell is attuned to one of four suits. Arcana Assi of the matching suit can pay the spell's Stress cost.
