A tutorial introduces combat where mana and hand cards sit on the left, and players spend mana to attack enemies in the center.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBattles use an hourglass countdown instead of strict turns: each card played advances the timer, and the enemy acts when it hits zero. A Wait command lets players intentionally delay. Damage first appears as green HP, recoverable with Heal cards or automatically after battle, but further hits turn it black and harder to restore.
