Cool game, although it's hard to understand the properties of the spells. Decent graphics, but my fairly powerful computer starts to overheat from such a game :)
Anyway, great job!

I loved the black and white aspect that the game has, and how it uses the technique

Would be great to have some kind of indication on what sigil combination does what. Maybe Mana spell, basically instead of waiting a turn, you can buff yourself and use a mana spell. Nice entry, graphics are really good!

Really cool atmosphere! Was interesting trying out different combinations too. I couldn't find a way to regain mana, though I can see in the comments section that a mana spell does exist so I might have just not explored enough.

It's a neat concept. Discovering what each combination of sigils does is really fun, but it took me a very long time to discover the one that deals damage to the enemy. I can see this being a pretty cool game if fleshed out so keep working at it!

Confusing at start, which combinaison create what, etc. Nice graphic !

The gameplay was quite opaque but it seems promising - there wasn't enough feedback to experiment and figure out winning strategies though. A cool idea!

I think more training should have been added, as I didn't understand how to restore mana and what each sign depends on. But it's not bad

Great concept ! I try to find all the combos but it's quite difficult to remember all of them. The graphics are stunning !

It's a unique concept, I enjoyed the game. It would be better if there was more guidance and indication when casting spells though! Regardless, good job!

Cool concept. Figuring out each sigil combination is fun, but it took a while to find the one that damages enemies. With more development, this could be a great game! Apologies for any language errors!

Visuals are gorgeous for me, 20/20. Now I would probably like to know a little bit more what combinations do what beforehand. Although I understand it's interesting to discover them. Maybe emphasize more on the discovery (every combination discovered could be shown in a book for instance). Overall it's a cool concept, thank you for making this!
