Congratulations, you’ve landed a job as a 'Dungeon QA tester'. Your employer - a cat with a questionable sense of humor, who’s turned chaos into a business model. Here, spells are your lifeline and arcane missiles come in unrelenting waves. As a Spellweaver, you’ll craft custom spells, dodge bullet-hell nightmares, and try not to give the Dungeon Architect any reason to doubt your credentials.

Let's see what your new employer has to say.

Combat

So, Combat. Hope you enjoy weaving through a storm of magical projectiles - because that's basically your life now. Concentrated action. Every encounter is a chaotic ballet of fireballs, lasers, and creatures with entirely too many teeth. You'll dodge, you'll shoot, and maybe you'll even survive. Try to look confident out there; I find panic so boring.

Crafting & Spellweaving

You want to play with magic? Fine. I've given you the Spellbinder – a fancy grimoire that lets you stitch spells together however you like. Slot in shiny spell components (Essences, Aspects... big words, I know) to customize your two spells on the fly. Think chain lightning, AoE bursts, bouncing shots, or protective shields - whatever magical concoctions you piece together. Go on, impress me with your little experiments (and try not to set yourself on fire in the process).

Exploration

My dungeon is ever-changing (I'm indecisive, so what?). No two runs are the same, so don't bother memorizing layouts. You’ll wander through shadowy halls, enchanted rooms, and whatever other corridors I dream up to keep things interesting. Some of them might even help you out - find a secret or a shop and consider it a courtesy before the next onslaught. It's challenging, but I'm not trying to crush your spirit in one go; if you die too fast, I'd have to find a new tester.

Well, that's the tour. Off you go, Spellweaver - the dungeon won't test itself. I suppose I could wish you luck, but honestly... it makes no difference to me.
