Spellcasting
Two-Thumb Drawing
- Spells are cast by drawing with both thumbs.
- Most spells are mirrored (some are not): e.g. an "S" on the right thumb and a horizontally flipped "S" on the left.
- Cast quality is judged by how well the two strokes match in shape, size, pace and speed. A perfect match is a perfect cast.
- (Idea) Difficulty tiers: mirrored (easiest), parallel (same shape, same direction), asymmetric (different shape per thumb, master level).
- (Idea) Quality factors map to effects: shape accuracy decides whether it fires, size sets area, speed trades power vs. timing, sync between thumbs acts like a critical.
The styles in the spell data
Mirrored

Parallel
Parallel: both thumbs draw the same shape in the same direction.
Independent
Independent: each thumb draws its own shape, at its own pace, starting and ending together.
