There are many main worlds, with a few smaller side ones that are optional. When every player or computer on a team has zero health, the other team wins.ДЄs the player progresses, more worlds become available. When a player reduces a computer enemy's health to zero, they are defeated players with a health of zero can be healed by others on their team unless they 'flee' the duel. Spells can reduce the health of enemy creatures, increase the health of yourself or allies, add shields that reduce damage, add blades that modify the amount of damage done, traps, buffs which increase damage, and more. Spells can be cast using 'pips.' A player gains one pip every round, and there is a chance that that pip will be a 'power pip,' worth two regular pips for spells that are of the player's class.

The game is based around 'duels': two teams made up of one to four players or computer enemies on each team who take turns casting spells.
