Use of Spells

Elemental spells are Skills that are only available to a character with Elemental magic who has chosen to "master" them from a scroll. In this case, the scroll is removed from play and can no longer be taken away or given to another character.

When the Spell affects another character, the player who is using it must find an adequate gameplay to communicate the effects of that action.

When the Spell requires reciting an incantation, the texts in the rules are only a suggestion - the player can use their own text with the same length as number of verses.
