Game variant: magic streak
This game variant is for the players who like to think about every move, but can be very entertaining also to those who don't like to worry about life points and just want to go full out with their attack spells.
In the magic streak game variant, players don't have life points. The winning condition is met when a player (or a team) reaches 10 victory points. One victory point is awarded to a player for each point of damage that player deals or defends.
This means that being able to reflect a spell is a highly efficient way to reach victory, because in that case a damage is defended and a damage is dealt, awarding the defending player with 2 victory points by using only one spell.
One can play with a low profile, focusing every turn to have a higher chance to reflect attacks, or can go on an attack frenzy, hoping that the non-stop assault will pay off.
Slowly gain your points to the victory, or place a huge score with a massive spell? Your choice!
