Our take on Spectromancer
The defining structure is the five-element duel system: every mage uses Fire, Water, Air, Earth and a fifth element tied to the selected mage type. That fixed magical framework shapes each class’s spells, creatures and tactical choices.
What is Spectromancer?
Spectromancer is a turn-based online fantasy card game about magical duels between mages.
Players choose from six mage types: Clerics, Mechanicians, Necromancers, Chaosmasters, Dominators and Illusionists. Each type has its own spells and strategies.

They summon creatures, cast spells, and add new spells and allies to create further strategic options. Battles can be played against the computer or live online opponents. The game includes an extensive campaign, multiple difficulty levels, varied foes and environments, and hundreds of multiplayer challenges.
