The name cell was a fixed-height nowrap/ellipsis line, clipping even
plain 'archmage hunter' mid-game. The temper tag now wraps below the
name as one piece and the row grows to fit.

Hands already go face-up when the maze is won; now the roster does
too — a secret automaton's row reads 'archmage berserker (was a
mystery)' once the game finishes, broadcast with the final command
from either a human or the bot pump. Mid-game, the mood stays its
own business.

'Takes 2 damage' from a 3-point bolt read as broken arithmetic unless
you remembered the bloodstone. The damaged event now carries its soaks
(bloodstone's flat point, soulstone's spell-damage clamp) and the log
prints them: 'takes 2 damage (lightning-blast (reflected) — bloodstone
soaks 1)'. A blow the bloodstone drinks entirely — previously silent —
announces itself too. Events are derived, so replays gain the notes
retroactively.

FAQ: 'If this gets FULLY REFLECTED, you lose the rest of your turn and
cannot draw cards (in addition to damage).' When the returned bolt
stuns its own caster mid-turn, their remaining actions end at once and
the end-of-turn draw comes up empty (new turn.drawForbidden flag); the
normal stun still costs them the next turn. The affected player sees
'Your own bolt has left you reeling' in place of the usual spent-turn
slip. Older revisions played on and stored games replay so.

The cast always worked (click a square), but nothing guided it and
nothing marked its arrival. Now: a targeting prompt, eligibility
dimming to the caster's sighted squares (the engine demands LOS to the
aim point), and a flourish — the aiming mark, a shadow gathering, the
die crashing down out of a clear sky with a bounce and flung grit, a
drift line when fate moves it, and every scattered token streaking to
where it lands. In the /?fx gallery as die-drop.

'This is most certainly an object' (WIZARDBLADE's FAQ) — and the card
data already says so: every physical item bears the OBJECT subtype on
its face. isMovableObject now reads it from there, retiring the

this widens (verified against production), and refused commands are

'FULL REFLECTION lets the other player decide which objects, if any,
will be swapped' — the reflector's choice now rides their counteract
(params.cardId, reflector's item first), resolved with the roles
swapped when the reflection settles; 'none' or no choice trades
nothing. The client walks the reflector through the same give-and-take
picker, with a 'swap nothing' refusal.
Also from room XRT7: the trade picker now honors each room's own rules
revision (older rooms trade only object-typed cards), so it can no
longer offer a wizardblade a rev-25 engine will quietly refuse — and a
fizzled swap finally says so in the log instead of vanishing.

The trade grammar gains a 'treasure' token (never present in stored
ledgers, so no gate needed): a dagger can buy back the treasure in a
thief's arms, or two armfuls of gold can change hands outright. The
one-treasure carry limit and WEAKNESS both hold in a trade as at a
grab — a one-way treasure needs an open slot and an able back. The
picker offers each side's carried treasure alongside displayed items,
withholding theirs when your own arms are already full.

The pact fix: a clockwork no longer attacks a wizard it holds a BUDDY
pact on — Eric watched one sign the pact and punch him the next turn.
A pact is torn up for exactly one thing: a kill. And the post-attack
pact is signed only by a wizard who wants OUT of the fight (hauling
gold, bleeding, or with other enemies left) — a healthy duelist keeps
its options, and mutual-pact stalemates stay out of bot wars.
Swap Meet drops the 'name a card' prompt for a real trade picker:
click the other trader, choose one of your carried items, then claim
one of their displayed items. Rules rev 26 widens the engine's match
from object-typed cards to every movable object (daggers, rocks,
wands, stones); older games matched narrowly and replay so.

A FULL REFLECTION's returned spell is a fresh attack on its own caster —
who, per the owner's ruling, gets a defender's counteraction window
against it (absorb the blast, shield it, or FULL REFLECTION again: the
ping-pong war ends when the cards run out). The reflection now settles
into a new stack with the roles swapped and the damage pre-priced
(numbers, amplifies, and surviving counters already applied); the blow
returns to its sender unerringly, with no fresh hit rolls. onResolved
effects run with the swapped roles, so a reflected IDIOT now afflicts
its own caster. Earlier revisions land the blow instantly and stored
games replay unchanged.
Automatons price the incoming reflected damage off the stack; the attack
modal announces 'Your own spell comes screaming back!' with the inbound
total.

Per the owner's favorite play: the pact only breaks when its caster
attacks the target, so a blow landed BEFORE the pact leaves it intact.
After spending its attack, a non-berserker bot with BUDDY in hand signs
it onto the weakest visible unpacted enemy — the one it likely just
burned — barring their revenge. The berserker skips it: it would only
break its own pact tomorrow.

- TELEPORT OPPONENT exiles a delivery in progress — the thief of the
bot's gold, or any carrier within six of home — to the square farthest
(by walking distance) from the victim's own home; a sealed pocket wins
outright. No LOS needed for the destination, per the card.
- WARP WAND joins the roadwork: a wall slips open for a 4+-step shortcut
when the crossing fits this turn's remaining legs (the wall returns at
end of turn); charges itself with the smallest number on first use.
- ADRENALINE is the finisher: cast when no single attack in hand kills
the target but the top two together do; the attack window now honors
the second swing.
- STRENGTH doubles a thrown dagger or rock exactly when that turns a
wound into a kill.
- EXTEND rides afflictions, doubling the misery's stay.

Per the owner's briefing on how these cards are actually played:
- Roadwork on the march: DISPEL CREATION un-creates conjured walls and
filled squares; STONE TO WATER melts walls and stone blocks (cast only
from outside its own wave); CREATE DOOR plus a lock-opener turns a wall
into a doorway; DIMENSIONAL WARP folds a 6+-step detour into one step,
and the bot steps through its tokens when the far side is closer.
- Path denial grows: JAM LOCK seals doors on a threat's road, ILLUSION
WALL stands in for CREATE WALL, the full nuisance shelf (pit, slime,
ooze, rosebush, tacks, dust cloud) joins stone and thornbush, and a
BOOBYTRAP lands mid-path when nothing can reroute the thief.
- Bursts: ADD joins a second number to the march; MAD DASH doubles the
sprint to gold (never while carrying); POWER RUN buys the last spaces
of a winning delivery with blood.
- Breathing room when pressed (worrier, treasure-carrier, or bleeding):
FEAR at three paces, UGLY when they crowd in, BUDDY to pacify the hound.
- AROUND THE CORNER: an enemy one bend out of sight can be attacked; new
bentSightFor mirrors the engine's bentLos from the viewer's knowledge.
- GameView gains createdEdges (public — the table watched them conjured).

Pass Through Wall joins the march: the bot banks a crossing when stepping
through one wall beats the walk by 4+ steps (or no road exists), walks to
the chosen wall, and spends the charge stepping through. passWallCharges
is now in PlayerPublicView — the cast is public at a physical table.
Path denial for guardGold tiers: when an enemy carries the bot's treasure
toward home, or closes on its gold on the floor, the bot reconstructs the
threat's shortest path and prices every corridor line and empty square on
it; CREATE WALL, FILL SQUARE WITH STONE, or THORNBUSH lands wherever the
detour costs the enemy 3+ steps, legality mirrored from the engine
(sighted, empty, off homes and warp tokens).

Rules rev 24: a waterwall wave that finds a victim dist cells from its
source has only range-dist spaces of push left — a range-2 wave throws its
adjacent victim two spaces but a victim at its far edge only one, and
spent force never converts into crush damage. Applies to WATERWALL and
both STONE TO WATER waves; older revisions keep the flat full-range wash
so stored games replay unchanged.
Automatons now use DESTROY WALL on the march: two BFS distance maps (from
the bot, from its objectives) price every visible wall by the shortcut its
removal opens; the bot blasts when it saves 4+ steps of walking — or when
no road exists at all — never standing beside the blast unless trapped
and healthy. The card also leaves the shed pile: discardValue 2 -> 6.

The cast validation demands LOS to a stone block, but the dimming aid lit

at all rather than a maze dimmed away from its true targets.

Rules rev 23 — IDIOT, per the card and FAQ:
- No handling items: pick up / drop of treasures and objects refused
(dropping was the exploit: capturing a stolen treasure on your own home,
or dropping your own treasure underfoot for an instant cure)
- No punching, no thrown dagger / large rock (attacks on players)
- No effect on a victim already carrying one of their own treasures
Ungated (permissive): counteractions are now castable while idiotized (the
one thing the card expressly allows — the gate wrongly blocked them), and
goal-aiding spells (IDIOT_AIDS: destroy-wall, teleport, mad-dash, ...) per
the FAQ's 'you could, however, destroy a wall'.

A democratic monster touching its own creator opens a stack where one
player wears both hats, and doPass matched the attacker first: every
pass "bounced the exchange to the defender" — the same wizard —
forever. Room 928D livelocked there at seq 83; once the boot kick
revived its pump, the automaton politely passed 389 times. At rev 22
a self-stack pass RESOLVES (the claw lands, the game moves on);
older ledgers hold their recorded bounces and replay so. 928D itself
was repaired by truncating the no-op run and lifting it to rev 22,
verified clean and unstuck on a copy before installation.

DESTROY WALL's "anyone in either square next to the wall takes 4
points" swept only wizards; a troll leaned on the falling masonry

collapse now crushes creatures in both squares, at the rim breach's
far side too. Earlier ledgers keep their charmed monsters.

The rulebook (Cards And Actions That Change The Map): a CREATE WALL
or DESTROY WALL alteration on a junction between sectors rolls a
50-50 when "some other moron" rotates one of them — 1-2 stays with
the standing sector, 3-4 travels with the moving one, per the book's
own low/high convention. Both rotation and relocation roll (the same
seam tears either way), demolished holes roll alongside conjured
walls, the pips land loud in the chronicle, and a traveling edge
rides anchored to its in-sector cell. Rev-gated: the roll consumes
dice that stored games never spent.

Destroying a wall on the board's outer edge used to leave a one-sided
hole into nothing. The table's physics prevail: the outer rim wraps,
so the breach goes clean through — the opposite perimeter wall in the
same row or column crumbles too (collapse damage and all), and a new
warp pair opens between the two edges, shimmering at both mouths.
Rev-gated: stored games hold one-sided breaches and replay so. Sector
moves recompute the wraparounds and forget improvised openings, as
the maze's own reshaping always has.

Create Wall refused the board-edge openings: no far cell, so "walls
must be created between two spaces". But bricking over a lettered
opening is a classic play, and the far space is the tunnel itself.
A warp mouth now counts as wallable — with the wall raised at BOTH
mouths, since a tunnel has one passage: no walking in from the far
board, no warp sight through a sealed pair, and tearing down either
end reopens both. The client grows edge hitboxes at the perimeter
mouths so the line is clickable at all.

GIFT FROM BELOW bit for three in the middle of end-of-turn noise and
nobody saw it — not live, not in the replay, where its log line even
claimed "lose a turn" (the other trap's fate). The trapSprung event
now names its card; drawing a trap YOURSELF raises the full modal —
the card, what it did, "Curse the deck" — and the chronicle tells
each trap's true consequence. The amplify narration was already

Room 9BBV's "impossible" 14-point powerthrust was an archmage playing
correctly: 2 + 5, AMPLIFIED. The engine's math was honest and its

event now carries its amplify count, the chronicle says "casts
Powerthrust with a 5, AMPLIFIED, at Kestrel", and the modal's power
line shows "powered by a 5 — AMPLIFIED ×2" while there is still time

Every creature is born with attackUsed spent — the right way to say
"cannot attack the turn created" for monsters whose flag refreshes
next turn. But the democratic monster's flag budgets its ROUND, so a
mid-round summon arrived pre-spent and bumped harmlessly until the
round rolled over. Creation-turn pacifism now rides justCreated
alone for the monster (checked at the touch), and its round-claw
starts live — folded into rev 18 with the boundary refresh.

Its one-attack-per-round refreshed inside beginTurnFor when the turn
index matched the roll-off winner's seat — and only the living begin
turns, so once that wizard fell the claw never refreshed again: one
attack, then a lifetime of harmless bumping. The refresh now lives at
the true round boundary in the turn-advance loop, which passes dead
seats without skipping the count. Earlier ledgers keep their gummed
monster and replay so.

The relocation flourish corrected its coordinates against the view —
but effects are mapped when the events arrive, one message before
the new state, so the correction read the PRE-move board and the

renormalizes, and the flourish trusts the event alone.

Stone to Water's wave (and every waterwall collapse) washed wizards
back and crushed them against the maze — while a skeleton in the
same water stood dry. The wave only knew creatures well enough to
drown fire imps. From rev 17 it carries them all: washed back along
the surge, one point of crush per space the maze refuses, fire imps
still destroyed outright. Earlier ledgers keep their dry monsters
and replay so.

pickUpTreasure grabbed whichever treasure the list offered first —

SWAP HOME BASES traded homes correctly but borrowed the

Player movement asked the full question of a door — removed, keyed
this turn, or held — while creature movement only saw "door" and
refused, so a skeleton balked at a doorway its master had unlocked
for good. One doorIsOpen() now answers for both, and an open doorway
costs a wraith none of its wall passes.
And the interruption window earns the modal it deserved: "The maze

with "Seize it". No more hunting the rail for a slip while time

OPPORTUNITY FIRE and INTERRUPT bought a moment the client would not

attack cards into silence while the engine sat ready to accept the

cell/edge targeting, and the dimming aid all open exactly as on your

A believed ILLUSIONARY ATTACK, the goat's ram, and the hurled
treasure all deal their damage inside the attack's own resolution
hook — past the pipeline where the empathy mirror lived, so a linked
caster walked away unbloodied. One resolvedBlow helper now carries
the mirror to all three: "any attack done in ANY form" means these
too. Rev-gated: proactive empathy predates this, so stored ledgers
may hold unmirrored blows and replay them as struck.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
An automaton's ILLUSIONARY ATTACK arrived as a mystery: the modal
showed only the illusion card, never the spell being faked — though
the stack has always carried it face-up. The defender now sees both
cards side by side, the caption names the fake ("an ILLUSIONARY
Fireball — it bites only if believed"), and the hint bar says which
spell to weigh a counter against.
And EMPATHY — corner: COUNTERACTION — was refused at the door like
INVISIBLE before it, while the automatons' own counter ladder had
been reaching for it and silently failing into the fallback all
along. It now raises mid-stack: the blow lands on both wizards, the
link lingers for its NUMBER card's turns, and ANTI-ANTI severs it
cleanly (empathy is no escape). The number-riding-a-counter idiom is
one shared helper now. Permissive both ways: no stored ledger
contains either play, so no rev gate.

An automaton answered NO SPELL with an Absorb — which "has no effect
on duration-based spells." Afflictions sat outside the price table
and drew the phantom two-point default, tripping the point-soaking
rungs. An affliction's weight is now its duration, and the two
counters that touch only points — ABSORB and REVERSE — stand aside
for it, leaving the ones that genuinely bite durations: full shield,
remove curse, blunt, reflection, shieldstone numbers. Pinned: under
NO SPELL with both in hand, the bot blunts, never absorbs.

The table holds doors open to cast back through them at pursuers;
our held door opened for feet but not for eyes. From rev 15 a held
door is an open doorway to sight — casting at players, creatures,
and squares sees through it, the client's dimming aid and the
automatons alike (they share sightedCellsFor). REMOVE LOCK's "still
considered to block L.O.S." stands: that speaks of a CLOSED door,
and an unheld unlocked door still blocks. Rev-gated because rev-14
ledgers may already contain holds and must replay blind.
Pinned three ways: the holder blasts a pursuer through the held
doorway; an unheld unlocked door still blocks; rev 14 stays blind.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
MASTER KEY and PICK LOCK each read: "You may 'hold the door open' for
others, if you wish" — and the engine always slammed it at end of
turn. Now the cast takes a hold param: the door stays unlocked past
the turn, for anyone, as long as its holder stands adjacent and
alive. A step away, a shove, a teleport, or a killing blow lets it
swing shut — swept after every command, since anything can move a
wizard. New state, new param: no old ledger contains either, so no
rev gate is needed.
The client offers a "hold the door open" checkbox when either card is
selected; a held door shows pale with a green jamb ("held open by a
standing wizard"), and the chronicle records the holding and the
shutting. Pinned: a held door outlives the turn and admits the other
wizard; walking away releases it.
