Very unique idea, would love to see it worked out more. I also got kinda stuck when I didn't have enough MP to cast spells.

I have so many ideas for this base system. My total words list was:
Hurt, Heal, Burn, Shock, Freeze, Buff, Debuff, Steal, Cure, and ManaDrain. Also, I wanted Potions to be in (Under items menu), and you would find these on enemies (using the Steal spell). Along with ManaDrain, Potions would mitigate mana loss.
Thanks for playing! Keep an eye out, as I will probably add some refinement when the competition ends.
