I can't figure out how to play :sweat_smile: could you offer some guidance?

Sure - this is a puzzle game largely about discovering the rules and effects of the different Sigils through experimentation. Click on one of the three artifacts/puzzles to get to the main gameplay screen, then select Sigils from the pane on the right-hand side and place them in the glowing "nodes" on the artifact.

Usually, placing a Sigil will generate some "Magic Power", represented by triangular chips that orbit the nodes. It might be added directly to the node you inscribed, or it might follow some other rules...it depends on the Sigil. Placing Sigils can also create "affinity" in nodes, represented by a change in color: affinities can also cause nodes to behave differently.

The total Magic Power of your solution is displayed on the tally board on the bottom right. Your high score for each artifact is displayed on the menu screen next to the artifact's name.

Have fun and post your high scores!
