I played (and beat) this game, and found the concept very fascinating! That said, I have to agree with elennick that it is very difficult to understand at first. Perhaps explaining that three earths binds the fourth element, three fires scorches the fourth element, and that two waters transmutes the other two elements would help (that way there could just be three explanations for those spells). Also, the A.I. wasn't nearly challenging enough. I beat it on turn 26 and it still had only three tokens total (short the 12 needed to win).
I think this has a lot of potential! Reach out to me if you want to collaborate in the future.

Yeah, the AI was a last minute effort last night, it really needs some help haha. It doesn't really try to look ahead the current turn or anything beyond trying its hardest to make tokens.
I agree with the different way to explain what the runes do, rather than just listing out every available spell.
I'm glad you liked the concept! Thank you for checking it out.
