The center hex represents you, the mage.
|
|
|
|
|
It is neutral (not aligned with any element).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each turn, flip the top card of the mana deck.
|
|
|
|
|
It shows two elements.
|
2022-05-26 21:10:40 -04:00
|
|
|
Choose one element to be the one placed, and the other to decide the direction it has to be placed in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> **Example:** Light and Fire are the elements on the mana card.
|
|
|
|
|
> Light is positioned in the top-right nexus, and Fire is in the bottom nexus.
|
|
|
|
|
> This means that the players can place a Fire to the top-right of a filled hex,
|
|
|
|
|
> or a Light below a filled hex.
