Tab / F1 - Show/hide spellbook
The other wizards graduated at the Zanzar University for Higher Magical Learning with more common majors: Pyromancer, Conjurer, Diviner, etc. You were undecided, and eventually circumstances pushed you into the study of arcane geometry. Now you are - the Geometer.
As a Geometer, you have two spells - Inscribe, to place a node that is part of a magical shape, and Teleport, to shift about the field quickly.
SPELLCASTING TIPS
- Spell quality is based on shape accuracy and size
- The centre of the points is calculated, then the standard deviations of distance and angular separation are measured
- The larger the spell, the easier it will be to gauge where to put the next node, and the less effect errors will have
- If any of size, angle, or distance attributes are too poor, the spell will fail
- The view is isometric, but don't take this into account when casting spells
POSTJAM EDITION
- More spells have effects
- Changed graphics for Fissure
- Added sound effects
- Enemies now attack
- Added menu with help and level customization
The postjam adds a significant amount of content (where the jam version had next to none), so be sure to play both, but base ratings on the jam version, please!
