Mana Economy
Pool with cap, 5 colored schools + generic mana. Income from buildings + Archons + terrain mana nodes. Generic → colored conversion at a ratio. Values in public/games/age-of-dwarves/data/spells/*.json.
Archon System
High Archon:
- Created when Arcane Lore research starts (population cost from capital)
- Irreplaceable — permanently destroyed if capital captured
- Anchored to capital; during transit cannot cast
- Casts global enchantments, multi-turn for large spells
- Display name gender-matches ruler
Minor Archons:
- Built from production queue (production + colored mana + population cost)
- School-locked (one school per Minor Archon)
- City-anchored (reassignable between cities)
- Cast school-specific spell variants
Spells
8 spells per school in public/games/age-of-dwarves/data/spells/*.json. Always read data files — never maintain a separate spell list here.
Scope: "global" = High Archon overworld. "local" = specialist unit combat casting.
Tier gates: lower-tier spells unlocked by Mysticism/Arcane Lore; higher tiers by school techs.
Casting
Overworld (High Archon): multi-turn, duration scales with spell cost and casting skill. Cancel loses mana spent.
Combat (Magician, Cleric): cast as turn action, school spell discount.
Spell research: parallel track sharing tech queue UI, mana-funded. One spell at a time.
Enchantments
- Unit: persistent buff on unit until dispelled
- City: persistent effect on city
- Global: world-affecting, per-turn mana upkeep; auto-cancel on insufficient mana
- Dispel / Counterspell: remove target enchantment / negate within range
Summoning
Requires Summoning Circle building in city. All fantastic creatures summoned this way.
Arcane Ascension Ritual
State machine: inactive → requirements_met → channeling → complete / failed
Requirements: High Archon alive + both selected schools at high tier + world wonder built. On start: global announcement. Failure: High Archon destroyed → ritual fails permanently.
