Skill & Spell

Draw the rune. Cast the spell.

Skill & Spell v0.3.0 is a fantasy spellcasting game with a complete first story act, bot training and online duels unlocked through the campaign. Draw runes with a mouse or touch to cast. No microphone is needed in combat, and playing without voice does not reduce spell power. Pronunciation is an optional part of learning a new spell.

What's new in v0.3.0

• Dedicated illustrated maps for the prologue and all three playable chapters, with clearer stage previews and dossiers.
• A new living Grimorio duel HUD, readable rune guides, animated HP and clearer Cometa hints.
• Concentrazione: three shared casting charges, one recovered every 2.5 seconds, and 700 ms between casts. Save a charge for your next response.
• Rewritten Italian dialogue, parchment briefings, a guided opening tutorial and a simpler victory summary.
• Repeatable rune trials, optional pronunciation at unlock and streamlined settings.

Play Act I

• Choose a witch or wizard, one of four character looks, and your nickname.
• Explore Il Cielo Scritto: a prologue, three chapters, dialogue, tutorials, bosses and saved progression.
• Learn Fiamma, Scudo, Gelo and Tuono. Finish Act I to unlock Cometa, the Sigillo Supremo, and online duels.
• Train against a bot, manage your Grimorio and practice pronunciation with speech synthesis where supported.
• Online systems include casual and ranked PvP, friend codes and challenges, daily missions, leagues and seasonal rankings.

How to play

Press Run game, then Tocca per iniziare. Create your character and follow the prologue. Draw the indicated rune in the arena; the book slots select guides, not cast spells. Fullscreen is recommended for the portrait layout. The interface and spell names are currently in Italian.

Connections and saves

Online access in the itch.io embed is still not guaranteed. Story and bot training are available here. The standalone site remains an alternative for online features, but its deployment is separate from the v0.3.0 itch.io client uploads.

Story and training work without the backend once the browser assets have loaded, and are bundled in the APK. Online features require internet and the server at sns.tnl.one; matchmaking depends on who is online. Browser, standalone-site and Android saves are separate. Clearing site data or uninstalling the app can erase local progress. Voice support and microphone permission are only needed if you choose pronunciation practice.

Development and downloads

The browser embed runs v0.3.0. The new Android download is skill-and-spell-android-0.3.0-debug.apk (versionCode 3), connected to sns.tnl.one. Install it over the previous debug build to retain data where compatible. Earlier APKs and prototype files are legacy downloads, not the current version.

This is an in-development build. Concentration balance, recognition, device performance and presentation may change. Physical-device and two-phone playtests remain necessary; the APK is experimental and debug-signed, not a Play Store release. Gorgo di Vento remains a non-playable teaser.
