- Readers interested in competitive games and book-based progression
- Worth noticing
- The game caps study at one book per wizard per day; publication year determines rank, while studying a book grants one spell page.
Field notes
A player's phone camera reads an ISBN. The book's original publication year sets wizard rank, while studying it grants a spell page once per wizard; each wizard may study one book per day. Battles use adjacent-hex movement on a randomly generated 61-hex board with three shrines. The site says sponsorship can buy study efficiency or certainty, but not extra power; no launch date is announced.
