Simple Sketch of Spell Board

Have counters or models that represent:

Fire
Water
Earth
Lightning

We’ve selected a level 2 mage, so we have 20 energy tokens total.

So first spell we are going to cast is as follows:

Create Fire so we place the fire counter on the fire part of the board and one energy token on “Create”.
We going to then put 4 energy tokens on Grow so we have a level 5 fireball
We are then going to move it 18″ inches to the front line, so place 3 energy tokens on Move.
We are then going to multiply it once to give us 2 level 5 fireballs and use 1 more energy token, placed on multiply
We are then going to move one of the fireballs upto 6 inches targeting one enemy unit (1 energy token on move)
The other fireball will be moved upto 6 inches targeting another enemy unit (1 energy token)

That one spell has used 11 energy tokens. So the mage now only has 9 left for the rest of the game. That feels like a fairly epic spell – we’ve created a massive fireball sent it streaking across the sky towards the enemy, caused it to split in two and hit two enemy units. But it has cost slightly over 1/2 of our total magic energy to do that.
