The hard six: AROUND THE CORNER attaches to any LOS attack and bends
the sight line through one intermediate cell. BLIND victims lurch in
die-rolled directions (bumping a wall costs the movement point, per
the card) and their attacks fly wherever the die says — hitting
whoever stands that way, or dissipating. UGLY drives every opponent
in sight fleeing along shortest paths (breadth-first, die-broken ties)
until they cannot see the caster. ILLUSION WALL is per-player reality:
each opponent rolls 50/50 the first time it matters and the wall is
real for believers forever — believers' views render it as a wall,
the caster and those who saw through it get a ghostly dashed line,
and Dispel Creation banishes it. ROTATE SECTOR turns a sector 90
degrees with every wall, door, wizard, treasure, object, firewall and
alteration turning in place (the home star, being the exact center,
never moves); RELOCATE SECTOR slides a sector anywhere that keeps all
sectors adjacent, reassembling the map and recomputing wraparounds.
Client: modifier attachment (Amplify/Add/Extend/Around The Corner),
two-stage relocate, rotation direction toggle, dashed known-illusions.
Every card in the 6th edition basic deck is now implemented.

Duration system: sustained effects expire at the start of the caster's
turns; SLOW (movement 1, no number cards, attack every other turn),
NO SPELL, MEDUSA (paralysis + damage immunity), INVISIBLE (1-in-4 hit
roll), SHRINK (50% miss, movement 2). Doors: PICK LOCK and MASTER KEY
(displayed, reusable) unlock adjacent doors until end of turn, REMOVE
LOCK is permanent, JAM LOCK seals a door for everyone. Movement:
TELEPORT (4 spaces through walls, ends movement), PASS THROUGH WALL
charges, POWER RUN (life for spaces), SWAP (consumes movement),
GO AWAY (knockback + lost turn), TELEPORT OPPONENT. Card warfare:
CARD ERASURE (named), THOUGHT-STEAL (2 random via seeded RNG),
TELEPATH (private hand reveal), POWER DRAIN (damage feeds the caster),
SUDDEN DEATH, STONE DEAD, WIZARDBLADE (same-square, number-powered,
stays displayed). Cast modifiers: AMPLIFY doubles power/duration
(stackable x2), ADD permits two number cards, EXTEND doubles duration;
REVERSE heals instead of harms but keeps secondary effects. Counters
now also halve durations (BLUNT) and split them (REFLECTION).
Security (from review findings): room codes and game seeds now come
from node:crypto, and every seat gets a secret token — reclaiming a
name in a room requires its token, closing the impersonation hole.
29 cards implemented; 51 tests passing.

The attack/counteraction stack: casting an attack (or punching) opens a
stack; the defender counteracts or passes, the attacker may respond
(ANTI-ANTI nullifies a counter), and resolution runs the damage
pipeline in play order. First effect wave, encoded from verified card
text: Fireball (flat 5 + destroys carried magic stones if damage gets
through), Lightning Blast (number damage + stun unless fully stopped),
Powerthrust (2 + optional number), Waterbolt (caster-chosen
damage/knockback split with push-away movement), Blunt (halve, round
result up), Absorb (-3), Full Shield (spell-only stop), Reflection
(half to both), Full Reflection (redirect), Absorb Spell (nullify and
steal the attack card), Create/Destroy Wall (dynamic edge overrides
layered over the board; collapse deals 4 to adjacent squares), Speed
(extra turn), and TRAP! on draw (lose next turn, redraw). Lost turns
skip on advance; unimplemented cards refuse to cast with a clear
error. 35 tests passing.
