Another World: Guild Master I

Spell building

Another World: Guild Master I is a PC strategy game about creating spells, outfitting a guild, and sending its members on missions. You build spells by attaching verbs to base spells, and the order changes the result. Fireball with Concentrate then Explode works differently from Fireball with Explode then Concentrate, even though both use the same pieces.

There are 15 base spells and 21 verbs to mix and match. Some change what an attack does: Explode turns a single-target attack into an area attack, Convert swaps one damage type for another, and Enchant adds a tag a mission calls for. Momentum changes strength depending on where it appears in the chain. New spells and verbs unlock as you progress, adding actions that can open up options beyond bigger numbers.
