Spellweaver

Spellweaver takes place in a fantasy world where multiple factions vie for power. The mighty spellweavers of each faction harness power from magical shrines to summon creatures on the battlefield. The shrines represent competing worldviews and ideologies such as Order, Nature, Rage, Corruption and others.

Spellweaver is an online CCG, similar to Magic: The Gathering games, using a freemium model. The player in Spellweaver controls heroes, each with a unique starting skill connected to the magic color/type that hero/ine uses. The player must construct a deck of creatures, spells and shrines that work best with the chosen hero/ine uses. The combat takes place in turns, each divided into phases (pre-combat, combat and after combat) where the players can play their appropriate cards, use skills, activate abilities or declare attacks. The game ends when one player is reduced to zero health (either by attacking them with creatures or by casting direct damage spells) or one players gains enough life above their staring number.

The game is different from Magic: The Gathering in three key ways. Firstly, all creature have a speed attribute in addition to health and damage. The creatures' speed determines who they can attack or block (a creature cannot attack or block another with a higher speed). Secondly, every skill, spell or creature requires a certain amount of mana and magic level - some rare cards can require magic levels of different colors/types. Lastly, its power source cards (the shrines) all have dual function; the basic shrines can either provide one mana crystal and draw a new card or one magic level. The mana crystals are used during a turn on skills, abilities and cards, but the magic level remains static. Certain rare shrines can either give a magic level or a new skill to your hero/ine until the end of that battle.

The game has a single player mode where the player must fight AI of three possible difficulty levels to complete set or daily quests to unlock new areas, decks or other rewards. However, most of the game is played PvP with ranked battles and tournaments.
