It is wise to learn spells in more than one element: as you learn spells in other elements, you will develop several hybrid spells. To get one, you have to learn all three spells in the same tier (group of spells with the same spell points cost) for any two elements. The hybrid spell will replace an existing spell, making a very modified and much more powerful and useful version of it. For every element pair, you can get up to three hybrid spells; therefore, there are eighteen to discover.

Your hero level is actually how many attribute points you have queued up. You gain levels by dealing damage, but you cannot go beyond 5 levels.

Charge is added to your enemies when they are hit by lightning spells; most lightning spells add "Charge" to those they hit, amplifying damage. Charge can accumulate to reach very high quanitities for extreme damage, but it dissipates fairly quickly. Buildup is gained by rapidly casting ice spells in the arena, and slowly dissipates over time. When a specific amount of "Buildup" is accumulated, there will be a notification and the dissipation process will cease. If a Buildup-compatible ice spell is cast while in the Maximum Power state, all of your Buildup will be drained to fire a single exceptionally powerful version of that spell.

You may lower your level by one to gain a bonus to any attribute at the attributes store in the top left corner of the map. You have a net loss of attributes when you lose your level (a level gives you two attribute bonuses), but the bonus is stackable and permanent, as it can't be taken away. You may not raise your stats manually after they reach 40.

You learn spells simply by purchasing them at the spell shops in the upper-left area of the map. In addition to the gold cost of each spell, you must have enough spell points to learn it. You start with 10 spell points, and for each additional point you put in your spellpower attribute, you get two more spell points.

Once you are significantly hurt over a long period (2x HP total damage), you will recieve a one-time-cast ability that instantly drains all of your mana when you use it. The type and power of your ability depends on how many abilities you have learned in any one school of spells.
