Rules

Basic Rules

Kinda complicated, but simple enough to learn.

Magic Unlimited is played between 2 players, with the players taking turns to cast spells. Compared to Dvorak, almost this entire game is made up of Actions, known as spells, though some spells create what are very similar to temporary Things. However, neither term is used in this game.

There are twelve kinds of magic, based on colors: White, Red, Orange, Brown, Yellow, Gray, Green, Blue, Violet, Black, Gold, and Silver. Each player will have their own deck and discard pile, and each deck is based on a theme of one or more colors. Each color has its own style of play. This is not to be confused with magic styles, discussed later. For example, White is mainly healing spells, with spells to support a style of play based around healing spells.

During each turn, a player may take up to three actions. An action is casting a spell, drawing a card, or discarding a card. While discarding a card may seem disadvantageous, there are spells that can look at your hand and use your spells against you. Any of the three actions not used can be uedon your opponent's turn in response to something they d to you, such as attack or look at your hand. You may not play a card on your opponent's turn if the action does not directly affect you, unless the card states otherwise.

These are all the basic rules. The next section is more information about the types of magic, which can be used to improve your playing style or learn more about how to build a better deck.

Types of Magic

How Magic is Divided.

Magic is divided into 3 types, each of which is further divided into 2 subtypes, each of which are divided into several catagories.

The first type is offensive magic, divided into direct and indirect damage subtypes. Direct damage cards are divided into HP and MP attacking, and defense attacking. HP and MP attacking cards are obvious in what they do, while defense attacking cards directly attack whatever defenses your opponent has set up, be they magic shields or stone walls. Indirect damage cards are different from direct damage cards in that they do damage according to a key. The two subtypes are damage over time, which drain HP or MP every so often, and curse, which afflict the opponent with a condition that causes some sort of effect whenever the trigger is activated. An example would be if a curse card said 'Whenever the opponent draws a card, the opponent loses 10 HP'.

The second type is defensive magic, divided into protecting magic and healing magic. Protecting magic is divided into shields, which create a barrier to protet you, counterspells, spells that can block a spell and send it back at the opponent in the same action, and dormant defense spells, which are spells that you can use an action to place face down on the table, and use at any time, without any additional cost. Healing magic is divided into HP and MP healing, which restore those things, and defense healing, which repair shields.

The final type of magic is just all other spells, appropriately called 'other spells'. Other spells are divided into assist magic and standalone magic, based on if they affect another spell or create an effect on their own. Assist magic is divided into three categories, all of which increase the power of something: damage increasing, healing increasing, and defense increasing. These increase the power of these cards, and can create very powerful combos. For example, say a damage increasing card that multiplies damage by 10 for 5 turns is played on a continous damage card that normally does 10 HP damage per turn. The change is that 100 HP damage is done every turn for five turns, which can easily win a game. Standalone spells include: searching, viewing, and reusing magic, all of which are fairly self-explanatory. Searching magic finds cards in the deck or allows you to steal a card from your opponent, viewing magic allows you to see cards you normally cannot see, and reusing magic allows you to do just that - reuse magic from the discard pile. In addition, some spells do not fall under assist or standalone, and fall in an 'other' subtype. There is only one category currently defined under this subtype, which is sacrificial magic. This kind of magic usually inolves making a sacrifice for some kind of gain. Other spells are also in the 'other' subtype, but do not yet have a defining category.
