Test area for Card game page.... it is under a LOT of construction!

casts
Casts are actions invoicing magics of some type. they are played through beings; meaning that the one 'Casting' is the being, not the player. to play a cast it must be a type that shares a glyph from the homeland, and also the caster. i.e. to play a fairy cast, your homeland must have a fairy glyph as well as the being who is casting it.
Epic
Epic casts are special and powerful cards played by the player. They are rare and often act globally or in a large scale.
Spell

Charm
charm casts are long lasting and can effect a locality' this is either a zone, or the zone a charmed creature is on. they effect all cards on a zone that has been charmed directly or indirectly. charms can be positive or negative in effect, and can be placed on your opponent's or your own zones and creatures.
