Fun and well-polished game, great stuff!! I love knowledge-based games :)
I think having a clear objective for game jams can be great, and I think there's already a great one in here of finding all the spells which is what I focused on trying to do :)
Also this might just be me, but I would love a mode where I can move with WASD, and switch to typing by hitting something like space so that I could hit PEAK productive wizardry (which would work if everything was one word, so maybe a different key if you wanted two words like 'unlimited power' :))
O! And maybe a way to incentivize different spell usage? I felt like being able to spam the same spell led to me just typing the most broken one I knew of at that point repeatedly.
Overall had a lot of fun, thanks!

Thank you for the kind words, and I'm glad that you had fun! An option for movement with WASD is interesting, perhaps the enter key could be used to switched modes in this case? I will have to think about this more.
I agree that we will want to incentivise different spell usages more! We have tried to give each spell their own niche, but more balancing is needed from us before they can truly all shine! Thank you very much for playing!
