Features

- Collect mana and experience to upgrade spells, increasing their power, range, and special effects. Progression encourages experimentation with different spell combinations.
- Engage in fast, responsive combat, dodging attacks, circling enemies, and unleashing spells in rapid succession. The game emphasizes movement and timing rather than traditional RPG menus.
