Formalize how charges are implemented #5

Closed garykac closed 6 years ago

garykac commented 6 years ago

Spell fragments can build up or make use of (elemental?) charges. That process needs to be formalized.

One option is using the dice to represent charges; this could work nicely with the side-effect of reducing your overall pool, and making chains more difficult (because you'd pull it off the chain immediately on casting), but that might not be what you want.

Alternatively, tokens representing charges would be easy, and allow for different colors if you wanted different kinds of charges.

garykac commented 6 years ago

With the recent change to use cubes instead of dice, the option of having spells and charges share a common token that needs to be balanced between them is more appealing.

Thematically, it represents the mental cost to the spellcaster to maintain the charged spell.
