Potion-making: School of magic

Players compete to create potions by combining ingredient cards and fulfilling recipe cards drawn from three difficulty-tier decks. Recipes serve double duty as both goals in hand and as ingredients on the table; a separate spell deck grants cards when recipes are completed and provides universal magemas that act as wild ingredients. Magic effects let players transform ingredients or recipes without cost but do not award points. Scoring is driven by charging amulets with crystals placed on them; the game ends when an amulet reaches the player-count-dependent threshold, and the player with the most crystals on their amulet wins. The game includes simplified and expanded options and two optional expansion modules.
