Type words into the text box then press 'enter' to "cast" the spell.
When a spell is casted, you can no longer cast that spell for the rest of the run.
Each enemy has an attached letter combination. If the casted spell contains an enemies letter combination, the enemy takes damage which is indicated by the number on them.
Killing an enemy grants 1 gold which can be used to learn incantations in the shop.
Incantations are special spells that require mana to cast. Each incantation has a unique ability. You can view your incantations by pressing 'spacebar' to open/close your spellbook.
1 mana is gained for each letter in a casted spells (does not include incantations).

Using longer or obsure words early leaves the shorter and easier words to be used when the game gets more difficult.
You can "precast" a spell by copying it (ctrl + c) then quickly cast it later (ctrl + v).
The incantations "Hinder" and "Setback" are a great combination and can trivialize some enemies.
"Smite" or "Quell" are very useful for the lingering enemies that don't have strange letter combinations with no apparent solution (although there is always a solution).
You should prioritize the Hearts immediately as they get will only stronger as time goes on.
