The pulsing red rectangle becomes a standing fire: a glowing gradient
bar seated on the wall line, five tongues of flame licking on staggered
beats, and embers drifting off the top. Pure CSS on a handful of shapes
- no turbulence filters, which stay budgeted for the one-shot Fireball,
since firewalls burn indefinitely. Vertical walls flame just as well as
horizontal ones; reduced motion stills the fire but keeps it visible.

The owner's idea for teaching novices: a hints button runs all three
temperaments' brains against YOUR view — the same cards and board you
see, nothing hidden — and each says what it would do in your robes.
The Hunter (eyes on the gold), the Berserker (eyes on the blood), the
Worrier (eyes on the exits). Available on your turn and while under
fire (counter advice included); purely advisory, computed client-side,
nothing dispatched. hints.ts translates any Command into plain words.

Shedding a single card meant entering discard mode, marking, and
confirming. Now any selected card offers 'Discard it' right in its
action strip — beside 'Drop it here' when the card is an object, so
the drop-or-discard choice sits in one place. The bulk discard flow
stays for multi-card sheds.

Per the owner's design — and truer to a real table, where the cast is
public: every illusion wall's location is open knowledge, rendered as a
shimmering wall to any player whose eyes have not yet ruled on it.
Testing is an explicit act: tap the shimmer (or bump into it) and a
modal explains the 50/50 and offers 'Roll to test your eyes' — the new
testIllusion command rolls once, then the wall either hardens or
dissolves for you alone. Nobody's verdict is moved by watching someone
else stroll through (the Q3WZ mystery: an automaton walking through
its own round-1 fake). Untested walls block movement and sight without
consuming RNG; the pre-29 lazy belief roll is preserved for stored
games. Automatons doubt free shimmers on their best crossing before
spending any card on that wall.

'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.

'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.

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.

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

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);

Two numbers for movement work by playing them one after another, the

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.

copyright and provenance shown rather than hidden. This edition has

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

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

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

The relocation flourish corrected its coordinates against the view —
but effects are mapped when the events arrive, one message before

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 —

Player movement asked the full question of a door — removed, keyed
this turn, or held — while creature movement only saw "door" and

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

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.

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.

Clicking a board token now shows the thing itself, enlarged, above
its card in the peek modal — whichever art is active, photograph or

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

An svg referenced through an <image> element is rasterized once at

its ids (45 tokens' worth of filter and pattern defs share one
document), and inlines it as a nested <svg>: live vector at any

path untouched, and the token style family goes :global to reach the

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.

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

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.
