How it plays
4 mages against 4. Each spell starts weak, with a single line; a rune conveyor belt shared by both players moves every turn. Take one free per turn, buy the others with mana, and insert them anywhere in your spells: order matters, a ×2 doubles the lines since the previous modifier. A spell costs as much mana as it has lines.
