Hi everyone
Yes, you've already figured things out. We wanted to create something everyone can follow, even if you are not into RPG so for the seamless experience (when you already have all the spells you need to progress) you can just follow the story and only do the required spells. You only roll for probability when it's indicated BUT if you want to, you can roll every time. We did that, too, during testing - it's a lot harder but it's more fun. Think of it as difficulty levels:

Easy Mode = no probability factor;
Normal Mode = roll for probability when indicated;
Hard Mode = roll for probability every time you cast.

If you are playing on Hard, make sure you have extra spells charged up and not only the ones required.

We also tried playing the story in Free Will Mode so you can do that, too. You can use spells you feel will work in particular situations regardless of what is required. You have a little bit of that when you are asked to use an attack or a defense spell, for example (you choose which spell to use). It's an advanced way of playing, though.

I can also confirm that we have already thought of a sequel to Spellbound with an open world and a map. It's something we are currently testing but we also want to see the kind of feedback we receive on the Spellbound, The Story. We want to see if it's something you like, enjoy doing and if you want more of the spell-casting in your life


Oh and yes, you use two 6-sided dice. I believe a couple of people used D&D dice but they had their own fail/success systems. You can do so also.

I hope this makes sense and helps. Please let us know what you think of the spell-system, the story and whether you have fun or not. This will decide whether we'll allocate resources to developing this more in the future.
