How do you cast spells and battle?
Battling confoundables
Move the phone to locate the confoundable, you’ll see an align icon. Tap when they are aligned, it turns blue. That locks the target in place and you no longer need to have your phone pointing at it - you can just return your phone to a comfortable position.
You’ll see a pattern on the display which you need to trace with your finger to cast the spell. Stay within the lines and complete the pattern. An accurate trace is a strong spell, an inaccurate trace is weaker. If the spell is strong enough, you defeat the confoundable and win. If the spell isn’t strong enough, you can try again, or the confoundable will disappear after a few attempts.
Battling in fortresses
- Use your finger to drag the indicator on the display over the target on the enemy, which looks like a star. You have a limited time to do this, but once one is on top of the other, you’ll see the blue circle appear. This is the most confusing part to figure out in your first battle. You’ll then see the trace for your spell appear, which you trace with your finger. The spell is cast and damage will come off your opponent’s power meter. The opponent will then retaliate and you have the chance to defend yourself by swiping in the direction of the arrow on the screen - failure to do this means you’ll take more damage. You’ll then repeat the process from step one to cast another spell until the battle concludes.
