Purge 3 — Remove up to potency status effects [All allies]
“When the town's most eccentric alchemist, Dr. Quirk, mixed a dirty potion with street‑cleaning soap, he unleashed a spell that scrubbed every ally free of status effects. The blast leaves your squad squeaky, eyes wide, and your status list as blank as a freshly mopped board.”
Reflect 1 — Chance to bounce a negative effect back at the effect's source [self : whenHit]

Springboard 3 — Launches the enemy that sets it off up to potency squares away [onEnterSquare]
“Invented by Sir Squeal, a disgraced circus engineer who insists his toys are more dangerous than his jokes. When the trap is triggered, it launches foes out of the board faster than a hamster on a treadmill.”
Burn 3 — Inflict turn-based damage that reduces each turn [line2 : onCommand]
“Hired by a flamboyant angelic accountant who couldn't decide if he wanted to burn books or storehouses, this creature jumps in a knight‑shaped L‑slash and only ignites the second row when the player shouts "Command!"—a temerarous twist on holy burn.”
Steadfast 2 — Fatal damage instead sets this summon to 1 HP, reducing the effect modifier [self : always]

Fury 2 — Increase Attack of a summon [ally1 : onSummon]
“Until his kingdom turned to chaos, this highborn rotmaster learned the forbidden art of "Yell‑of‑the‑Dead", granting all undead allies a 2‑attack bump when he lands. His pride forces him to prance like a king across the board, a grave display of power that riddles even the sanest necromancers.”
Stun 1 — Cause a creature on the board to skip a turn [target : onSuccessfulHit]
“Assembled by the deranged Gizmo‑Genie, this robot knight was meant to joust but only managed to confuse and stun foes with neon strobe warnings. Its infamous production line blunders now serve as a laugh‑inducing lesson in tech déjà‑vu.”
Reflect 1 — Chance to bounce a negative effect back at the effect's source [self : whenHit]
“Born in the clamor of a midnight factory rave, a bored tinkerer slapped a cheap servo onto a spool of rubber and declared it a defense unit. Its only grand ambition is to flip nasty vibes back at anyone who tries to hit it—because who needs real offense when you have an over‑caffeinated reflection machine?”

Conjure 3 — Draw cards equal to potency [Your Summoner]
“I’m oddly proud that the notorious Candle‑Crazed Cartographer, Sir Whisker‑Flick, once accidentally summoned thirty rogue cards from the void during a midnight experiment. Now, whenever you call upon this spell, your Summoner’s stash explodes with extra cards that scatter like confetti but gnash their edges in a manic, call‑and‑response dance with your hand.”
Steadfast 2 — Fatal damage instead sets this summon to 1 HP, reducing the effect modifier [self : always]

Expose 1 — Reduce Defense by potency for the duration [Line of 3 : 1 turns]
“This cheap ritual was engineered by Dr. Glitch, a disgraced thaumaturge, who discovered that a chuckle at an opponent’s reflection could razor‑sharp their defences. Exposing three enemies for one heartbeat, it leaves them wobbly, like socks in a dryer.”
Jump 1 — Move across the board ignoring units in the way [self : always]
“Enginewright Geppetto attached a pogo spring to a derelict boxcar—twenty feet of hopped shenanigans now rips through your board, but only after a single proud "boing." The result? A four‑wheeled prankster that’s more likely to make a young coder win your match than your army.”
Aegis 3 — Increase Defense by potency for the duration [All allies : 3 turns]
⚡ Only affects devils
“From a demon stunt double’s midnight brainstorm—‘Give those conniving devils a solid hide!’, this spell wraps allied fiends in a rattling 3‑turn fortification that even makes them look smug. Everyone else is left shivering like a burnt‑out soul in its misguided coverage.”
Steadfast 2 — Fatal damage instead sets this summon to 1 HP, reducing the effect modifier [self : always]

Thorns 2 — Damage to attacker when hit [attacker : whenHit]

Soul Siphon 3 — When an enemy dies within 1 square, your Summoner heals potency health [onEnemyDeathAdjacent]
“After a heart‑burning failure of a necromancer’s “life coupon” trick, the deranged gnome Wisp No‑Memory laced this trap with a swirl of spectral maw that licks up the last breaths of enemies and sloshes them straight into your Summoner’s potions.”
Ranged 2 — Ignore recoil damage when attacking, equal to effect modifier [self : always]
“Dr. T. K. Wrecka once attempted a giant with built‑in recoil dampening, but his mishap birthed this bouncy king‑like creature that ignores recoil as if it were a polite etiquette breach. It now rolls onto the battlefield, moving one space as he pleases and strutting like royalty without a care.”
Expose 3 — Reduce Defense by potency for the duration [Line of 3 : 3 turns]

Push 2 — Move another summon up to effect modifier spaces [ally1 : onCommand]
“Billed as the city’s newest solution to late arrivals, a disgruntled mechanic built it to shove commuters in line. It now happily shoves even your poor clan mates for a crackling, warped ride.”
