On a board where the four elements of wind, fire, water, and earth intertwine, you will command mages with distinct abilities. Your goal is to escort your Scepter to the central "Source of Magic" or to destroy the enemy's Scepter.

Core Features
Seven Unique Pieces:
Summoner: Summon an army to overwhelm your opponent.
Illusionist: Stealth and invisibility, shifting positions at will.
Abjurer: Project a Force Field to protect allies or crush enemies.

Contest the Center, Unleash Metamagic
The "Source of Magic" at the center of the board is a strategic focal point. When your piece occupies the center, it gains powerful Metamagic abilities. Controlling the center often tips the scales of victory in your favor.
2v2 Alliance Battles
In four-player matches, players sitting opposite each other form an alliance. Tacit cooperation is the key to victory.
