The Defence Against the Dank Arts is an expansion that introduces spells to the game.
There are 9 spells that can be used by characters on either team. Each spell requires a certain amount of energy (generated at the end of each turn) and has different effects on the game. At the end of a team’s turn, their spell energy bar will increase by one stage. When spells are used, a team’s energy bar will deplete by the amount of energy required to perform the specific spell.
