 Wizards in the [[#TWW]] battle constantly for a multitude of reasons, but mostly because it is very hard to hurt them. Even when they lose a battle, they simply retreat, rebuild their strength, and wait for the next challenger to appear.

Even when they lose a battle, they simply retreat, rebuild their strength, and wait for the next challenger to appear. Here are the core game ideas you need to learn to play the game:
  
-  * **__Rule of three__**: Three wound tokens kills/destroys a thing. If your Wizard takes three wound tokens you lose, if a creature takes three wound tokens it dies, if anything takes three wound tokens it expires. +  * **__Rule of three__**: Three wound tokens kills/destroys a thing. If your Wizard takes three wound tokens you lose, if a creature takes three wound tokens it dies, if anything takes three wound tokens it expires. Every three uses of mana or activations, increase your Mana Drain one. 
-  * **__Rule of four__**: Every four paid mana costs in a turn, increase all your mana costs 1 for the rest of that turn. In this way a spell effect that costs 1 mana to activate then costs 2. This repeats, making the ninth use of mana a turn +2 cost (1 + 2 = 3 mana for the example given). +  * **__Rule of five__**: Your hand of available cards seeks to balance at the size of five. At the beginning of your turn, and it's end, you discard excess or draw to refill to a count of five cards in hand. A full draft from your deck is a draw of five cards. When cards form groups (such as attacking and blocking) they may not exceed five cards.

When cards form groups (such as attacking and blocking) they may not exceed five cards. At the start of turn, for each full five mana cards in your mana  pool, increase your mana activation track 4.+

Physically the game is played in a space containing two types of cards, two or more [[#Wizard Play Map|Wizard Play Maps]], a special draft deck and pools of counters that can be put in and out of play. Each player of the game has these before them:
  
   * **__Deck of Magic__**: A deck of sixty cards (at the start of play) that is full of: spell cards that are played onto your play map, and celestial events. There are always exactly six celestial event cards in the sixty card deck. These cards trigger a celestial moment when they are drawn and revealed (only when drawn face up).   * **__Deck of Magic__**: A deck of sixty cards (at the start of play) that is full of: spell cards that are played onto your play map, and celestial events.

Line 23: Line 22:
   * **__Mana Pool__**: A place where your stack face down cards, each card one mana in your mana pool. You can discard cards from this pool as needed (at whim, interrupting all play) to create mana: one mana per card discarded.   * **__Mana Pool__**: A place where your stack face down cards, each card one mana in your mana pool. You can discard cards from this pool as needed (at whim, interrupting all play) to create mana: one mana per card discarded.
   * **__Play Map__**: A physical space to play your spell cards. Each wizard player in a game of [[#TWW]] has a play map. In order to use a spell you must use it from a spot on the play map. You cast a spell into a spot on the play map, either filling an empty spot or replacing a card at a spot (the card in that spot is discarded) unless rules say otherwise (some cards can overlay a card on the map and not replace it). There are eleven spots on a play map: 1 tower spot, 2 rear adjacent spots, 3 rear shield spots, and 5 forward spots. There is a diagram in the [[#Wizard Play Map]] section.   * **__Play Map__**: A physical space to play your spell cards. Each wizard player in a game of [[#TWW]] has a play map.

-  * **__Mana Track__**: A track at the bottom of the play map that moves a counter each time something is activated. In this way the track allows you to know your current mana adjustment (rule of four, increase mana cost +1 each four). Each time you activate a spell effect (even if it's cost is 0) move the counter on the track. And yes, that means when you reach +1, even 0 mana cost effects now cost 1 mana to activate.+  * **__Mana Drain__**: A track at the bottom of the play map that moves a counter each time something is activated.

In general: tokens are **drafted** from their source pools, and **discarded** back to their source pools. Tokens always move onto cards in play.
   * **__[c]oins__**: Coin tokens come in three base types: [cG]old, [cS]ilver, and [cB]ronze. A rule can specify Coin to mean all types of coins, or a specific type. As in a spell could require expending a Coin or it could specify a Gold. If a rule says to draft a Coin, you draw a card from the draft deck, and take the shown coin. If a rule specifies the draft of a specific coin, just take one of that type from the pool. Coins are activators and triggers in the realm of magic, and magical in nature as much as physical.   * **__[c]oins__**: Coin tokens come in three base types: [cG]old, [cS]ilver, and [cB]ronze.

   * **__[h]arms__**: Harm tokens all work to inflict wounds. Harm is just harm in the base rules, but there is no reason more could not exist in expansions. Unless a rule says otherwise, at the end of turn, all harm tokens turn into wounds on their card (one per token), and the Harms are discarded.   * **__[h]arms__**: Harm tokens all work to inflict wounds.
