Springing the Trap never showed its fireball: Rival stepped into the
watched corridor facing the way he walked, and the ambush's fireball
flew in from the mouth behind him while only the caption told of it.
The director now aims at incoming magic and punches — the caster's or
attacker's square, straight or through a mouth — and a stride that
ends with something to watch turns once more after the walk, the
slate holding the outcome until the eyes face it. The fireball comes
through the wormhole at the camera, then the blow lands.
The trap's first beat re-blessed for it.

The Warp Sniper cut to another angle the moment the fireball landed,
though the caster could see the whole thing: the director counted a
warp mouth before the target as blocked sight. Sight threads warps as
the rules say, and now the camera does too. director.sightline finds
the heading that actually sees a point — straight, or through a mouth
by aiming at the target's position in the far room and asking whether
the bent ray reaches it — and both the aim and the turn-toward-the-
actor rules use it. Only a point no ray reaches earns the cutaway.
Warp Sniper's second beat re-blessed: Wanderer's eyes now find Rival
through the mouth as the turn passes to him.

A day of Eric watching the clips as a newcomer would.
The camera can pitch: FirstPerson takes a `pitch` that shears the
horizon up the pane (walls center on it, the eye stays half a wall
high), so the ground at the pane's foot comes within half a cell. The
director uses it for deeds at your own feet — a conjuration on your
square, a treasure taken up, the pit you fell down — instead of the
cutaway that stepped outside your body.
Everything shows through a warp. The floor pass now runs between the
cast and the wall draw, so a column that bent through a mouth maps its
ground through the warp's rigid motion and wears the far room's decals
— the pit past the wormhole included — under the same violet haze as
its walls.
A wizard down a pit is public (inPit on the player view), drawn sunk to
the floor line in first person and dimmed on the board. A body sharing
your square, which had no depth to draw at, stands right in front of
you. A pit leap glides like a shove instead of cutting. And the
director's blocked-sight test no longer counts a warp BEYOND the
target as a block, nor stands a cutaway camera inside another wizard's
square — the pair that put Wanderer's face across the whole pane.
The reel stops for a die: a card over the held world names who rolls
and for what, tumbles the faces on the reel's own clock, lands the
roll, and only then plays the outcome; the beat, the fx, the glides
and the camera all wait it out. A punch by you drives a fist into the
scene; one at you comes at the camera; both land with a comic POW.
film-clips rolls until the reel's last move rather than a fixed count,
and the gate settles longer on a step whose caption rolls a die. All
thirty goldens re-blessed.

Two things for a viewer who has never seen the game. When the reel's
pov passes to another wizard, the cut used to be instant — one wizard
apparently teleporting. Now a slate wipes across the pane: a dark band
sweeps in over the old sight, holds with the new wizard's standee and
THROUGH THE EYES OF <name>, and sweeps off to reveal theirs. It is an
FpFx ("slate") drawn by the renderer on the reel's own clock, so the
harness and the film see the same frames.
The caption grows a right-hand column: strides left to spend this turn
as a countdown, ♥ life, and chips for what the wizard carries,
displays, or suffers — a treasure, displayed cards, spells on them
with turns remaining, lost turns, banked Pass Wall, attack spent. The
save-video composite carries the same column.
All thirty scene goldens re-blessed: the caption is inside every
frame. The 3D panes are pixel-identical to the previous goldens.

Eric's direction: passing through an ordinary warp mouth is a normal
stride. The veil already marks the doorway, and the wizard walks through
it as through any door — no shimmer, no surge, and the eyes carry on
the way they were going instead of turning back to show the mouth. The
surge stays for the moment a wormhole is cast, staged straight from the
warpOpened event through both its new mouths.
The heist's pinned frames re-blessed for it: at the crossing the reel
now looks down the corridor at the enemy's home rather than back
through the mouth.
deploy/film-clips.mjs films the catalog for the gallery — every scene
in both takes, the reel playing under the paused clock at one frame per
40ms, muxed to 25fps mp4s with the first pinned beat as the poster. The
recorder used for the first clip set lived in a session scratchpad and
was lost; this one lives here.

Every board effect the cockpit had no art for landed as the same purple
lightning-ring sprite, so a body stepping through a warp mouth wore the
ring over its own portrait. Eric wanted the purple wall to do the
animating. The portal effect now becomes a "surge" keyed by the mouth's
index in board.warps: the veil hung in that opening floods with its
texture, the swirl quickens and pales, and a ripple runs out to the
jambs before it settles back — nothing drawn over whoever stands in it.
The director used to steer the eyes toward that ring's cell on the pov
wizard's own crossing; it now aims at a surging mouth the same way, so
the heist's pinned frames render as before. Illusion and Pass Wall
crossings keep the shimmer sprite — stone has no veil to surge.
Scene gate: 29 of 30 frames unchanged. stone-gaze-s10-board drifts
0.21% with or without this change (the dashed sight line's phase), a
pre-existing flake left unblessed.

deploy/verify-scenes.sh replays each screenplay to its authored beats
under a paused Playwright clock — pulses, tweens, and fx advance only
on the harness's schedule, so the same beat renders the same bytes
every run — screenshots the reel, and diffs pixels against the goldens
in deploy/scene-goldens (30 frames: warp transits, impacts, curses
landing, in both views). A channel may drift 6 before a pixel counts,
0.2% of pixels before a beat fails; --update blesses intended changes.
Proven both ways before landing: a clean double-run reproduces all 30
goldens exactly, and resurrecting the warp-smear cutaway bug fails the
warp-transit beat at 61% pixel drift.

the card at reading size, attached numbers and modifiers as cards with
their total, and the whole guidance strip — targeting hints, pickers,
discard, cancel — moved in beside them. Counteractions get the same
panel with the incoming card, its power, and every counter played so
far. The under-board strip remains for phones, where a rail below the

The turn slip says 'turn spent' instead of counting phantom moves once
actions end; the attacking card (or the counter being countered) shows
in the respond slip so counters are chosen with eyes open; the absorb
chronicle line names the card it swallowed — which answers the KTXQ
mystery, where an automaton's ABSORB SPELL took Blind into its hand and
Reuse Spell rightly found nothing to retrieve. POWER ATTACK gains its
missing UI: attach it like any modifier and pick the life to burn.
Hand cards drag to reorder (browser-local arrangement over the

The card says it plainly — "You're the carrier! Disease caused by
spell does not affect you, only others" — but the engine cast it AT an
adjacent victim, making them the plague rat. At rev 7 it is a
self-cast on fear's pattern: no target, no counteraction window
("REFLECTIONs have no effect against this"), duration equals the
number, and sharing a square bites in both directions — the carrier
walking in, or anyone walking onto the carrier. Older ledgers hold
targeted disease casts with full stack exchanges, so the legacy attack

STRENGTH's card says the grab "would be an attack," but the engine
resolved it instantly while punches opened counteraction windows — the
defender never got their say. At rev 6 the tear rides the stack like
any physical attack: the clutch roll waits out the counters, and only
an unstopped grab still in arm's reach of a still-laden defender gets
its wrestle. A TELEPORT escape now genuinely saves the chest (FULL
SHIELD does not — the card stops spell attacks only, and the grab is
physical). The automatons counter tears at their carried gold by not
being there when the hand closes. Narrowing, so rev-gated: games

Two holes, found when a SAFE cast at a treasure 'around the 180 degree
corner' refused with no line of sight (room LZ5R). First: the bend was
honored only in the attack path — every neutral resolve (creations,
summons, utilities, edge targets) checked straight sight and ignored
the attached card, though the card says 'any line of sight spell'.
castSight/castSightEdge now thread the bend through all of them, and
the chronicle narrates the neutral bend too.
Second: the bend itself pivoted only at cell centers, so the card's
flagship shot — doubling back up to 180 degrees around a wall's end —
never resolved: both legs graze the corner and die. The pivot may now
sit in the wall's open gap itself (bentSightThroughGap), which is what
rounding a corner physically is. Closed doors still block; two corners
still refuse.
The client lights bent-reachable squares for real now instead of the
old one-step-adjacency guess, creations included. Pure widening, so no
rev bump: every one of these casts was refused before, so no ledger
holds one. All 26 production ledgers replay clean; the LZ5R moment
itself replayed and the exact refused cast now lands.

A cast through the glass is aimed by the eyes that fired it — you
face it by definition — and a keymap cast is a deliberate off-screen
act. Neither moves the camera. Aims and cutaways serve only deeds
done by others.

Casting a door onto the wall you already faced tripped the blocked-
sight cutaway: the camera leapt to film the wall from another
vantage, reading as a spin that put your back to your own door. In
the live cockpit your own deeds now only ever TURN the head, gently
and never past a quarter-turn — cutaways remain for things done TO
you.

Raising an edge-target card now makes every wall and door face
breathe faint gold in the pane — the cockpit's answer to the board's
edge handles — with hover still brightening the chosen face. And the
director's own-magic aim gains a quarter-turn cap: a deed you aimed
behind you via the keymap stays behind you, while deeds done TO you
may still spin the world.
