Magic

• Introduction of magic levels. Factions are assigned a magic level (default 0) which is another way of determining which spells they have access to. There are two reasons for this: some factions simply aren’t magical, and this enables future strategic choice of levelling up some aspect of your dominion to gain access to new spells.
• Level 0 spells do not cost mana and are called cantrips.
• Aside from cantrips, spells are generally much more expensive than before. The goal is for mana cost to be a bigger strategic consideration.
