In This Build, You Can
- Stack spell parts into wands
- Survive escalating enemy waves
- Unlock new components per run
What's Unique About This Game
The spell stacking isn't just cosmetic.
Fireball + Split + Homing → one spell becomes twelve seeking missiles.
Freeze + Trigger + Explosion → delayed crowd control that shatters frozen enemies.
Every component changes the math. Every build choice has tradeoffs.
