The Red Mage

Jack of all trades, master of panache. Kupo!

A complete custom character for Slay the Spire 2, inspired by Final Fantasy's classic Red Mage. Rapier in one hand, spellbook in the other, moogle overhead.

How the character plays

Three Schools. Every card is Sword, Black Magic, or White Magic (a few are more than one). Your last three school cards played each turn appear as colored circles beside your character.

Sequences — the core mechanic. The moment those three circles exactly match a combo on the on-screen training chart, it fires:

• []Pure chains conjure a card into your hand: 3 Sword = Manafication (0-cost: 2 Energy, draw 1), 3 Black = Meteor (22 damage to ALL), 3 White = Holy (10 damage + 8 Block).[/]

  []Mixed combos command your Moogle familiar: 11 trained actions from Mog Rush (9 damage) to Kupo Kiss (heal 5) to Flourish (damage + Block + heal).[/]

Order matters — Black-Sword-Sword (Kupo Hex) is a different move than Sword-Sword-Black (Mog Rush). Unmatched circles aren't wasted: the oldest rolls off as you keep playing. 14 combos total, all listed on an in-game chart with hover tooltips, plus a "Last Fired" history so you never miss what triggered.

Dualcast. Playing a spell charges Dualcast; the next spell consumes it for a bonus printed on the card (extra damage, draw, debuffs, energy...). Cards that would benefit right now glow gold in your hand.

The Moogle. An invulnerable familiar who floats beside you, flutters happily whenever a sequence resolves, and performs your trained combos. He came with the hat.
