DESTROY WALL's "anyone in either square next to the wall takes 4
points" swept only wizards; a troll leaned on the falling masonry
untouched. The expansion sheet is explicit — "if a card specifies
'Opponent' or 'Anyone' as a target, this includes Monsters" — so the
collapse now crushes creatures in both squares, at the rim breach's
far side too. Earlier ledgers keep their charmed monsters.

The rules tab carried a paraphrase and the FAQ; now the court of
final appeal sits between them — the full base rulebook text (the
5th-edition wording the 6th shipped with) and the Expansion Set 1
sections, word for word from the designer's own wizwar.com, with
copyright and provenance shown rather than hidden. This edition has
no Expansion 2 — Artifacts and Transformations do not exist here and
are not included. The text moves out of research/ into real source.

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
fixed; replays re-derive events, so both now show in old games'
reels too.

Room 9BBV's "impossible" 14-point powerthrust was an archmage playing
correctly: 2 + 5, AMPLIFIED. The engine's math was honest and its
narration was not — neither the log line nor the attack modal
mentioned the amplify, so a legal kill read as a bug. The spellCast
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
to respect it.

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
ghost slid between unrelated squares. The sectorRelocated event now
carries its origins in final coordinates, computed after the maze
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 —
with two on a square, no choice and sometimes the wrong one. The
command now takes an optional treasureId (absent in every stored
ledger, so old replays keep their old grab), and when the square
holds more than one, the button asks "whose?" before dispatching.

SWAP HOME BASES traded homes correctly but borrowed the
positionsSwapped event, so the chronicle claimed the wizards
themselves changed places. It now speaks its own event — "swap home
bases — the maze's loyalties shift!" — and both hearths shimmer as
their allegiance changes.

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
holds its breath" — the card shown, the instruction plain, dismissed
with "Seize it". No more hunting the rail for a slip while time
stands parted.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
OPPORTUNITY FIRE and INTERRUPT bought a moment the client would not
honor: every selection and targeting gate asked "is it your turn?",
and mid-interruption it is not — so the window's holder could click
attack cards into silence while the engine sat ready to accept the
cast. A window is now yourMoment: hand selection, player/creature/
cell/edge targeting, and the dimming aid all open exactly as on your
own turn, and the slip says what to do with it ("pick an attack card
and a target") instead of the cryptic "cast now".

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.

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.

Scoped to everything since the last pass (3308850). Three blind
reviews, every finding verified before touching anything.
Confirmed and fixed: two identical comment-splitting insertions left
doc comments orphaned from their fields (net and local alike); a
51-line CSS fossil of the pre-extraction inline effects survived in
Board.svelte; the rev-13 miss-roll test asserted tautologies while
its comment claimed a check the code never made — it now proves the
die was consumed, and the skeleton is no longer returned as trollId;
the sprite registry's `as never` silently disabled the completeness
its annotation advertised (now a mapped type, one cast at the
dispatch seam); a dead ternary guarded a union that doesn't exist;
Bolt carried a duplicate .fork rule from a color iteration; fxTtl
contradicted three sprites' real animation lengths; the permanence
sentinel was reinvented as a magic 9000 (the engine now exports
isPermanentDuration); CELL was declared thrice (fx.ts now imports
it); App and Replay ran two divergent fx schedulers (one scheduleFx
now, cancellable — stale flourishes can no longer fire after leaving
a game); TokenArt retried missing files forever; the anti-anti
escape guards merge with the gate asymmetry explained; wall-of-fire's
rev-12 carve-out is marked; overLimit ignored a displayed BRAINSTONE
(bots over-discarded by two); botRemark's header mis-stated its own
branches; deliverGold fired on any drop, not a home-base delivery;
escape and win banter never fired from the steps that carry them.
Rejected: "as a human would" (house voice); FxGallery's dev-harness
framing (trimmed one plea, kept the facts).

Clicking a board token now shows the thing itself, enlarged, above
its card in the peek modal — whichever art is active, photograph or
SVG. The art tables move to art.ts so the board renderer and the
modal share one source.
First cut overlapped: the card scales 2.1x out of its layout box, so
flow neighbors sat underneath its visual footprint (the note had been
compensating with a 6.8rem margin hack). A card-stage now reserves
the card's TRUE visual size; token above, note below, nothing buried.

An svg referenced through an <image> element is rasterized once at
its layout size in user units — about 29 pixels for a wizard — and
scales as a blurry bitmap thereafter, defeating the entire point of
vector art. TokenArt.svelte now fetches each file once, namespaces
its ids (45 tokens' worth of filter and pattern defs share one
document), and inlines it as a nested <svg>: live vector at any
zoom, verified crisp at 3x device scale. PNG art keeps the <image>
path untouched, and the token style family goes :global to reach the
component's elements.

The symlink into research/ becomes real files: public/tokens-svg now
owns the hand-drawn set, edited in place and served as-is by the dev
server. The research folder is scaffolding with a demolition date,
not a place for shipped assets to live.

The hand-drawn SVG token set wires in behind deliberately
undocumented query params — svgPlayers, svgCreatures, svgTerrain,
svgObjects, each =true — swapping that category's art everywhere it
draws: board tokens, lobby standees, roster. public/tokens-svg
symlinks research/tokens-svg, so under the dev server an edit to the
source art shows on the next refresh, and the production build copies
real files through the link. Nobody finds the door unless handed the
key; the photographed set remains the face of the game.

Projectiles flew cell-center to cell-center, launching from the
caster's feet and landing under the target's chin — tokens sit high
in their squares and fan sideways when crowded. Every travelling
effect (fireball, waterbolt, bolt, streak, and the reflection's
return flight) now resolves token anchors that mirror the board's
exact positioning, fan-out included: caster's center to target's
center, wizard or creature. Spots with no token to aim at fall back
to sensible cell points, and wash/knockback streaks end on the
carried wizard wherever they fanned to.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tokens jumped square to square, which made the portal shimmer look
late — the wizard had already re-appeared before the threshold lit.
Wizards and creatures are now identity-keyed movers positioned by a
transform, so the DOM node survives a move and a single step glides
(260ms). Anything farther than a step — teleports, warps, drags,
sector moves — snaps as before, because sliding a wizard across the
whole maze would tell a false story; the warp's instant jump beside
its threshold shimmer is now the point, not the bug. Replays glide
the same way, and reduced motion stills it all.

The transmutation fired no flourish: its event carried no coordinates
for the wall case and the mapper knew neither it nor the wave it
raises. The event now carries its edge; the burst splashes both sides
of the vanished wall (or the freed square, for a block), and every
wizard the collapsing wave carries leaves a wash streak — which also
gives the plain WATERWALL's wave its motion for free.

Winning raised the modal on the same frame the fireworks lit,
covering them. The modal now waits behind the curtain for 2.4
seconds — three volleys over the winner's home, seen — then takes
the stage.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The bolt deepens to saturated gold over a dark amber glow; the splash
throws a wider crown of five droplets over a broader pool; the
fireworks lose their protractor — uneven angles, lengths, sizes, and
staggered timing, as a real burst has; the portal-cell's void gains
turning swirl arms so the dark center reads as motion, not blur; the
streak narrows and softens so its peak frame no longer resembles a
drawn white line.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The whiff darkens to slate and sweeps longer; the portal-cell opens
a dark void behind its collapsing rings — an opening in space, not a
selected square; the tacks grow half again and recoil harder; the
streak's reveal slows so the travel reads even in a sampled frame;
dust lifts its contrast a step without turning heavy. The sector
ghosts stay board-machinery on purpose — the reviewer allowed it,
and the maze grinding IS an operation, not a spell.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The outside review's diagnosis was right — the weak sprites had one
element doing one motion. Now each tells its story: the whiff is
three air streaks sweeping past a dodger with a wobble; the hit is a
contact flash, a compressed ring punched outward, and flying debris;
the streak's head visibly travels, drawing a tapered trail that
collapses into the destination; the sparkle snaps white-hot between
counter-rotating glints and sheds motes; the tacks are drawn
silhouettes now, points up as a tack on the floor menaces, hopping in
sequence; the claw slashes reveal one by one along their length with
a bright leading edge while the whole strike rakes sideways.
The sector ghosts keep their dashed frames but earn motion arcs,
directional chevrons, corner dust, and a grinding shudder as they
settle. The portal opens wide, ripples along its length, and pinches
shut; cell mouths collapse rings of energy inward. The thornbush
springs actual branches with thorn spurs. The slime is an asymmetric
blob that grips, with elastic strands snapping toward the caught.
Dust gains contrast, varied grain, and blows perpendicular to the
wall that shed it.

Its hole was a near-black disc that sat on the parchment like spilled
ink. Now an earthen gradient ellipse, offset toward the far wall,

Eric's fireball lands as the house style — layered construction,
gradient core, glow halo, a directional tail riding rotate="auto" —
with its defs scoped per instance via $props.id(), so simultaneous
fireballs cannot steal each other's gradients. The rest of the
catalog is rebuilt in its image: the waterbolt becomes its cold
sibling (spray tail, no turbulence — one heavy filter stack is
enough); lightning grows a glowing core and branching forks; the
burst blooms through a fire gradient with a shockwave and flying
embers; the splash throws a crown of droplets; the shield raises a
gradient dome with a rim strike; the pow star flashes white and
radiates speed dashes; claws leave tapered gashes; the absorbed card
spirals in along a pull ring; the soul is a proper little ghost with
eyes, swaying as it rises; fireworks ride colored trails; Chaos
catches card slips in its vortex; the pit opens a gradient hole that
swallows a faller; ooze splats and flings blobs; the thornbush sheds
leaves; slime closes over and pops bubbles; masonry dust goes soft
with falling grit. Whiff, tacks, portal, and the sector ghosts keep
their simpler forms on purpose — restraint is part of the style.

The effects move out of Board.svelte into src/fx-sprites/ — one
component per flourish, markup and animation CSS together, so editing
the fireball means opening Fireball.svelte and nothing else. A
registry (index.ts) maps kind to sprite; Board renders through it.
The event mapping stays in fx.ts.
And a viewer: /?fx opens the Flourish Workshop — every sprite on a
labeled parchment tile, replaying on a 2.2-second beat. Under the dev
server, editing any sprite file hot-reloads the gallery mid-loop.

Green rings at the traveler's squares become a portal curtain: the
opening LINE itself shimmers on both boards — resolved from the warp
table via the step's direction — in iridescent cyan over a soft
violet breath, dashes drifting like light through a veil. Dimensional
warp tokens, whose mouths are whole squares, wrap in the same veil
around the square instead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The showstopper: sectors visibly move — a dashed parchment ghost
rotates through its quarter-turn or slides the whole way to its new
ground (corrected for rev-11 renormalization, since the event records
pre-shift origins and the view holds the truth). Death sends a small
soul drifting up from the token; victory bursts fireworks over the
winner's home, three volleys; CHAOS spins a triple spiral over the
whole maze and stands alone in its batch.
And the slapstick tier: knockbacks, shoves, drags, and pit-jumps
leave a motion streak; falling in a pit swallows dark with dust;
ooze gets a wobbling pratfall ellipse; tacks sting in three hopping
asterisks; thornbush snaps green; slime sinks its ring; a successful
pit climb puffs dust.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The reflected spell turns in the air and flies home wearing its own
colors, striking its caster with the hit it meant for someone else.
Warp travel glows green at both mouths. Punches land as a proper
burst star; creature blows rake three red gashes; an absorbed spell
is a little card swallowed into the absorber, spinning as it shrinks.
And ongoing spells now wear their look between events: firewalls lick
and glow, the invisible and misted breathe at a fraction of opacity,
Medusa's victims gray to stone, and the webbed wear their webs. The
pulses stop under reduced motion; the informative looks stay.

Replay steps carry the same events the live table saw, so the spells
flare on catch-up reels and whole-game replays alike — retroactively:
stored games re-derive their events on replay, so every fireball ever

A cosmetic effects layer on the board svg, fed by the same event
stream that writes the log. Fireballs streak and burst; waterbolts
arc and splash; lightning jags and flickers; teleports shimmer at
both ends; walls rise and fall in dust; stopped attacks flash a
golden shield; hits ring red; misses whiff; other attack spells
sparkle at the caster. Successive visuals from one command stagger by
a beat, everything self-expires, reduced-motion hides the layer
whole, and nothing here touches game state — the effects are mapped
from events in fx.ts and drawn in Board.svelte, online and hotseat
alike.

Two ways out of the game, one cleanup. A wizard killed by damage took
their monsters, sustained spells, and armed ambushes with them; a
wizard eliminated by treasure loss left everything standing — a fire
imp scorching for a dead master, a Medusa still gazing at a corpse.
Both paths now share one sweep, gated at rev 14 so stored games keep
their orphans acting as recorded.
Also: Lifesaver lasts until used, carried as a near-billion-turn
sentinel — which the scoresheet printed. Durations that mean forever
no longer show a number.

Once a gap opened — a backgrounded tab during the bots' turns was
enough — the mark-seen condition (exactly one move behind) could
never hold again, so the banner grew with every move a player watched
happen in front of them. Now only the first state after arriving (or
reconnecting) announces a gap; while present and visible, play marks
itself seen, an announced gap stays frozen until watched or skipped,
and a hidden tab still accumulates its gap honestly.

Rejoining a room replays the whole chronicle through the same events
channel that carries live play, so the opening roll-off modal fired

An opponent's wraith refused to be dispelled — the engine was willing
all along (any controller's creature, sight required), but creature
clicks never routed cell-target spells, so the cast never left the
client. Clicking a creature with a cell spell selected now lands on
its square. The dimming aid told the same lie twice over: it lit
every created square including ones out of sight (a caster's own
thornbush beyond the walls) and never lit creatures at all. It now
mirrors the engine — anything created, whoever made it, in sight.
And "click a wall line" stops standing in for every edge card: each
now says what the click actually is — a locked door for the keys, a
corridor line for the fire, the creation itself for the dispel — and
attacks no longer show two hints for one wall.

The four placements accumulated invisibly until the last click cast
the spell. Each token now marks its square as it is placed, numbered
in click order — the 1 is the real trap — and tapping a placed token
lifts it again, since the four must be distinct squares.

One tap cast the jump, and a player reaching for click-per-square
movement spent their teleport on the adjacent floor. Now the first
tap only marks the destination (the familiar pulsing square), and the
jump commits on a second tap of the same square or the hint-bar
button — with the hint spelling out the four-square, walls-ignored
range. The escape teleport gets the same two-tap arming; a counter
wasted on a misclick is a counter wasted.

First wizard was never random: createGame has always rolled a die
per player from the seed, re-rolling ties, and the gameStarted event
carried every pip — straight into a log line that said only "X goes
first." Now the table sees the ceremony: a dice modal as the boards
flip, one row per wizard, the trophy on the high roll, a note when
tied wizards rolled again — in online games and hotseat alike. The
chronicle line keeps the full roll-off too. Pure presentation; the
dice were always honest.

A lock removed, a lock jammed, and a door picked open for the turn
all looked exactly like a locked door. Now the door itself tells:
pale wood for a lock gone for good, near-black for one jammed shut,

each with a hover title saying so in words.

"The creature shares your square — there is nowhere to hide" appeared
on no card and in no rulebook. Neither did the convention beneath it:
the engine skipped INVISIBLE and SHRINK miss rolls for creature blows
on the theory that a monster in your square has nothing to aim. The
cards say otherwise — SHRINK reduces the chance to hit "in any
attack", and INVISIBLE's D4 carves out no exception for monsters.
From rev 13, creature blows roll the same dice as every other attack
(1 finds the unseen; 1-2 find the tiny), INVISIBLE may be counter-
cast against a creature's blow, and the automatons will do so. The
rolls consume RNG, so earlier games keep their certainty and replay
without them — the refusal survives only there, reworded to blame the
revision instead of inventing a rule.

INVISIBLE's corner reads NEUTRAL/COUNTERACTION, and ANTI-ANTI's own
face names it an escape — yet the engine refused it at the door. Now
it counters: the vanishing goes up mid-stack (duration from a NUMBER
card riding the counteract command), the attacker's 1-in-4 hit roll
happens at resolution, the spell lingers after the exchange, and
ANTI-ANTI cannot pin it. WATERWALL — "Acts as counteraction to
FIREBALL" — now mirrors WALL OF FIRE's waterbolt-stopping role and
counts as a total stop. WALL OF FIRE itself joins the total-stop set
at rev 12 only: stored rev-10/11 games bounced after it and replay so.
While responding, tapping a number card holds it to ride the next
counter (unless a displayed Shieldstone makes the number itself the
counteraction, as before). The automatons learn the trick too: vanish
when the blow is heavy and the shields are spent, and never waste
ANTI-ANTI against an escape.

"Doubles the existing life-points OR movement rate" — the engine
always took the OR's left side because the client never asked. With
Mega-Monster selected, the hint bar now offers the choice (hit points
lit by default), and the pick rides the cast as params.boost — its
own field, freeing params.cardId for the name-a-card spells it
belongs to. Both halves of the OR are pinned in the creature suite.
