How to Survive

A spell card is a weapon: its bolt is the attack and its spell is on the aim button. Any weapon roll is a card a third of the time, from the level a spell starts at; a school's 4th and 5th spells come half as often. Weapons traders sell each school's first card. Hold a card once and you learn to inscribe it at an alchemy table. A better rarity shortens the cooldown, by up to 20% at Legendary.
