Controls

Spells can be selected in two ways:

• Hold the Q key briefly to bring up the spell bar, then use A, S, D to navigate or simply left-click on a spell.

• Or use F2 for Arcane Bolt, F3 for Arcane Shield, and F4 for Time Wrap directly.

💡 Note: This is the first iteration of the keybindings. Full keyboard/mouse and controller support will improve usability in future versions.

■ Character Attributes

You can allocate points under Primary Attributes / Skills on your character screen. For a Mage, we recommend:

• A. Arcana – Grants +1 HP, +1 Tempo, and +3 Focus per rank

• B. Finesse – Grants +2 HP, +2 Tempo, and +1 Focus per rank

If survivability is a priority, invest in Vigor, which grants +4 HP and +1 Tempo per rank.

🧪 Many items also boost these attributes depending on their rarity and stats.

■ Combat Basics

• Main rule: If you run out of Tempo, end your turn by pressing ENTER or clicking the End Turn button.

• Your character can only move or act as long as they have Tempo remaining.

🏃‍♂️ Tip: If you're near an Exit (marked with a green arrow), you can flee to the adjacent map.

■ Spell Usage

• Arcane Bolt – A magical projectile that can hit enemies even without Line of Sight.
  → Press F2, or hold Q, navigate with A/S/D
  → Press Q again to enter targeting mode
  → Rotate target with A/D, cast with F

• Arcane Shield – Currently self-cast only. Grants both physical and magical protection.
  → Use F3 or hold Q, navigate to the spell
  → Target yourself, confirm with F

• Time Wrap – A spell with dual-purpose effects:
  → Cast on enemies to increase their Tempo cost
  → Cast on yourself to reduce your Tempo cost
  → Use the same selection method as above

■ Targeting & Hit Chance

When targeting (rotating with A/D), a stats window appears next to the enemy.
⚠️ Note: The window disappears if you move the mouse.
The percentage displayed indicates your hit chance.

■ Additional Tips

• Lootables such as equipment and consumables (e.g. potions) are essential.

• You can use potions before or during combat.

• You cannot change gear while in combat.
