RuneCast

🪄 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗼𝘄𝗻.

✍️ 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 — 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄.

RUNE CAST is an auto-battler where the spells are literally in your hands. Trace a rune on the screen — a chevron, a spiral, a five-pointed star — and it fires into the battle. You never move your heroes and never pick their targets. You draw, and that is the whole of your influence.

⏳ Time slows while your finger is down, so the fight stays readable. But the ink runs out, the mana runs dry, and a shaky hand casts a weaker rune.

🎯 Every cast is graded on how precisely you traced the shape — GOOD → GREAT → EXCELLENT → 𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧. A rushed circle still heals; a clean one heals 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵, with more rings, more sparks, and a harder shake to tell you so.

❌ Miss badly enough and nothing fires at all. That costs no mana — only the moment you spent, which mid-fight is the real price.

🔮 𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗘𝗦, 𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗘𝗦

🏹 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 · chevron — a volley toward the point you drew

💚 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹 · circle — restores everyone inside it

🛡️ 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 · triangle — barriers for the allies you enclosed

⚡ 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 · zigzag — leaps between enemies, weaker each hop

🌀 𝗩𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝘅 · spiral — drags them into a pile, deals no damage

☄️ 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗼𝗿 · star — telegraphed, then everything under it

🚩 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 · banner — allies hit harder and faster

💗 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗶𝘃𝗲 · heart — brings a fallen hero back

🔥 𝗣𝘆𝗿𝗲 · infinity — a ring of fire that keeps burning

⚖️ 𝗧𝗪𝗢 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗡𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗘𝗡𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛 𝗢𝗙

🔵 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔 — how OFTEN you step in. From chapter two it stops being free, and some fights you simply have to watch.

🖋️ 𝗜𝗡𝗞 — how BIG you can draw. A stroke that runs out of ink does not cast at all, so a huge meteor is a decision rather than a habit.

They pull in different directions on purpose: many small casts, or 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸.

💀 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗘𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗔𝗦𝗞 𝗗𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗤𝗨𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦

🦴 Skeletons swarm you.

🗿 Bonelords soak everything.

🦇 Vampires reach the line before you're ready.

👻 𝗪𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀' 𝘀𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 — those are yours to end.

🧙 Shamans stand out of reach and undo the damage you just did.

🕷️ Spiders split when they die — the wide blast that felt clever makes it worse.

👹 The troll winds up a slam and tells you it's coming.

⭐ 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧

Stars come from 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 — not from a score. Playing carefully beats playing loud.

🔨 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗞𝗦𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗛 — forge runes for raw power, or summon glyphs that trade power for range, mana, ink, or accuracy. One full sweep buys a couple of maxed runes 𝗼𝗿 a stack of summons. Not both.

✒️ 𝗜𝗡𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗜𝗕𝗜𝗡𝗚 — if a rune keeps failing for you, teach it your own shape. Draw it three times and the game accepts 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 version from then on. The original keeps working too.

🏆 Achievements and trail skins.
