Do you know how to make the most of all the spells within the Arena? &#x20;

Offensive Spells offer both melee and ranged attacks, and can hit both players and obstacles! &#x20;

Utility Spells involve movement or defense, helping to keep you alive!&#x20;

Passive Spells provide a permanent bonus making your path to victory a little easier. (more to come)

Remember: you can choose only one of each category to bring into battle. Choose wisely!&#x20;
