Understanding Spell Properties

Each spell has several key attributes that define its use:

  • Type: The spell's primary function (e.g., Utility, Damage, Defense).
  • Rarity: How hard the spell is to find or unlock (e.g., Common, Rare, Epic).
  • Mana Cost: The amount of mana consumed to cast the spell.
  • Cast Time: The time it takes to successfully cast the spell after speaking the incantation.

Example Spell: Fishify

To illustrate how the database works, let's look at a fan-favorite utility spell: Fishify.

A utility spell that temporarily transforms a target enemy into a harmless fish. While in fish form, the enemy cannot attack, making it an excellent crowd-control option.
