Update 2

🃏 Ability Hand Rework
Cards now fan out in an arc instead of a flat row. Hovering lifts and enlarges a card while neighbors slide apart. Drawing animates cards flying from the deck. Dragging a card closes the gap; releasing snaps it back. Cards lock during spell casting to prevent input bugs.

Fragment tiers — Minor → Greater → Superior → Epic → Legendary; 3 same-tier auto-combine into the next

Fragment mode — fill the anvil to extract element fragments instead of gear
