spellbook
In SpellBook, each player, accompanied by a familiar, possesses a grimoire and collects Materia to master spells and feed their familiar. The game provides pre-drawn spell sets for use in the early rounds, but soon players start drawing spells randomly or create their own spell combinations that are common to all players. Each spell combination gives an effect that lasts the rest of the game, and the more ingenious the combination, the more powerful the effect. As the rounds progress, the game becomes a different experience every time, with more than 2,100 spell combinations being possible. The game ends as soon as a magician's grimoire is complete or a familiar is fully fed, then the player with the most points wins.

Sumario de regras
Overview
Learn Spells and gift to your Familiar to gain the most points when the game ends
Turn
A turn is split into four phases:
Morning
Midday
Evening
Altar
Once a player has finished their Day, the next player goes
You have a Pool with a hard limit of 9 Materia which cannot be exceeded at any point
You start the game with Primary Actions for each phase which are always available even when Spells start to be gained
In each phase only a SINGLE action can be taken, regardless of whether it is a Primary Action or a Spell action
If the Pouch ever empties, put all discarded Materia back in, give it a shake, and keep drawing
Morning
Take one action from the following:
A single Spell ability which is able to be used in Morning
Take 1 Materia from the seen Altar
Take 2 Materia from the blind Pouch
Midday
Take one action from the following:
A single Spell ability which is able to be used in Midday
Store 1 Materia from your Pool onto the next space on your Familiar
If a spell allows you to store more Materia than spaces, store all you can then leave the rest where they came from (they are not lost)
Evening
Take one action from the following:
A single Spell ability which is able to be used in Evening
Learn 1 new spell by spending Materia matching the spell's colour and to the quantity of its price in the bowl next to it, one of the spent Materia will be used as a marker to show you gained it
3 Materia with the same Rune, regardless of colour, can be used as a wild. This can be repeated as much as you wish, but at least 1 Materia spent MUST match the spell colour
Learn a Spell cannot be used to upgrade a spell
Altar
If there are less than 5 Materia at the Altar, refill it from the Pouch to contain 5
If there are 5-9 Materia at the Altar, draw 1 Materia from the Pouch and add it to the Altar
If there are 10+ Materia at the Altar, discard them all and draw 5 fresh Materia from the Pouch and add it to the Altar
This then ends that player's turn, it is now the next player's Day
Spells
As mentioned, if a spell has a phase, its effects can ONLY be used in that phase
Otherwise, the effects are either ongoing, instant, or end game
Only Phase based Spells can still activate lower level versions of themselves if desired
Game End
The game can end in a number of ways
If a player learns their 7th Spell
If a player fills their Familiar board
Either way, finish the final round so everyone has equal turns
Players earn points based on the highest space obtained for each Spell (This may either be a set amount or based on achieving certain criteria)
Players earn the points shown on the next visible Familiar space not covered
The player with the most points, wins!
If tied, the player who learned the most spells wins!
If tied, the player with the most Materia still in their Pool wins!
If still tied, victory is shared!
