this is quite fun once you take the time to learn what some of the symbols do (future players: right click is useful). i found it very difficult! i would have liked to see more mobility spells and i think you left the wait action out intentionally, but i really missed it :( the replay feature is really cool and i've never seen it in this type of game before.

edit: i did manage to beat it, but not the "full victory"
