Words that fit a table of any size

The rules page, the offline page, the guide, two spell descriptions and
the share description no longer assume a duel has exactly two wizards:
every wizard chooses, attacks go at an opponent, the last wizard
standing wins, and blindness and invisibility speak of other wizards.

<h2>A first duel</h2>
<p>Open with a wave on each hand. From W-W either hand can go on to a counter-spell (W-W-S), protection from evil (W-W-P) or resist heat (W-W-F-P). On the first turn only a knife can hurt you. Then watch the warnings. When a missile is one gesture away, a palm on one hand stops it. When a fireball is one gesture away, a palm will not help, but a counter-spell on yourself or resist heat will.</p>
<p>Next, choose a spell from the sheet and pin it to one hand, and keep the other hand free for answering. Cause light wounds takes three gestures, a fireball five, and summoning a goblin three. A goblin left alone strikes every turn, so in five turns it does a fireball's damage. Read your rival's ledger every turn, because they are reading yours, and both of you can feint.</p>
