Magic System

The Three Powers

Magic in Conquer comes from three sources, each regenerating from different shrine types.

Power	Symbol	Governs	Regeneration
Military Power	🔴	Combat spells, army buffs	Shrines + national military strength
Civilian Power	🔵	Economic spells, growth	Shrines + city count
Wizardry Power	🟣	Advanced spells, divination	Shrines + wizard skill attribute

Theocrats regenerate 40% faster. Shrines owned double the regeneration bonus. The Ley Line Surge world event temporarily doubles all power.

Casting Spells

Spells are issued as orders (like army moves) and execute at turn processing time. Each spell has a power cost and a minimum wizard skill requirement.
