Schools of Magic

Enter a World Where Every Card Casts a Real Spell

Tired of card games where luck decides everything? Schools of Magic hands you the arcane power to build, tweak, and dominate with precision. This isn't a random draw—it's a tactical duel where your deck is your spellbook, and every match is a test of strategy, not chance.

Core Gameplay & Mechanics

Schools of Magic is a deep, turn-based card battler set in a fantasy academy. You start with a basic deck and a choice of one of four magical schools—Pyromancy, Necromancy, Illusion, or Elementalism. Each school offers a unique playstyle with distinct card synergies. The core loop is simple: draw, play, and react. But the depth comes from how you manage your mana pool, position your minions on a 3x3 board, and chain spells for devastating combos.

• Deck Construction & Synergy Engine: Build a 30-card deck from over 200 unique cards. Each card has a mana cost, an effect type (spell, minion, enchantment, or artifact), and a school affinity. Combining cards from the same school unlocks bonus effects—for example, playing three Pyromancy spells in one turn triggers a "Firestorm" that deals +2 damage to all enemy minions. The game tracks your synergy streaks and rewards you with "School Mastery" points, which unlock exclusive cards and cosmetic skins for your avatar.
• Real-Time Board Positioning: Unlike traditional card games, your minions occupy specific slots on a 3x3 grid. You can place a tank minion in the front row to absorb damage, a healer in the back row, or a ranged attacker on the flank. Enemy spells and minions have area-of-effect (AoE) ranges—a "Fireball" hits all cards in a 2x2 square, while a "Lightning Bolt" targets a single column. Positioning isn't just visual; it directly impacts combat outcomes, forcing you to think several turns ahead.
• Adaptive AI & Multiplayer Modes: The game features a "Duel Mode" with a dynamic AI that learns from your playstyle. If you rely heavily on Necromancy, the AI will start including "Banish" cards to counter your undead horde. For competitive play, there is a ranked ladder with seasons, a casual "Tavern Mode" for quick matches, and a "Clan Wars" mode where you team up with three other players to control territories on a shared map. Each mode has separate leaderboards and rewards.
