## What is SigilScribe?

SigilScribe asks a single question — can you draw the rune on the card you just played?

HOW IT WORKS:
• A hand of 5 arcane cards sits across the bottom of a candlelit study
• Tap a card to play it — the rune template appears on a piece of parchment above
• Drag your finger along the parchment to trace the sigil
• Trace quality scales the card's power — a clean trace is a Clean cast, a precise trace is a Perfect cast, a sloppy trace is a Fumble
• The opponent librarian plays their own cards from a deck you can see (top-down 5 cards)
• Your HP starts at 20, opponent HP scales from 8 to 40 across 60 stages
• Win the duel to unlock the next stage; lose and you retry from the same stage

FIVE CARD SUITS, EACH WITH A DISTINCT ROLE:
• Pyre (red) — Pure damage cards
• Tide (blue) — Restore your HP or draw extra cards
• Crystal (violet) — Sigil status effects — these stay on the field across turns
• Ember (gold) — Buff cards that power up your next cast
• Wax (seal red) — Guard cards that block incoming damage

60 HAND-TUNNED DUELS ACROSS 3 ARCHIVE WORLDS:
• Ember Halls — Gentle introductions, single suits (duels 1–20)
• Tide Sanctum — Draw-heavy hand of 3 (duels 21–40)
• Crystal Vault — Twin Sigil mechanic, stack two runes at once (duels 41–60)

TRACE QUALITY MATTERS:
• Each rune has 7 distinct shapes — LINE, ARC, ZIGZAG, TRIANGLE, STAR, CIRCLE, CROSS
• Cast quality determines 60%+ of the damage output
• Pure deck choice without trace skill cannot carry the duel
• Conversely, perfect trace skill without strong cards cannot carry the duel — cards have a damage ceiling

FEATURES:
• Core gameplay fully offline — internet only for optional ads
• Hand-drawn parchment + wax-seal + arcane-violet visual style — 30 card art PNGs, 20 rune templates
• 60 hand-tuned duels across 3 archive worlds
• 20 achievements across 5 categories including Polyrhythm Sage equivalent — Triple Sigil (stacked Crystal buffs)
• Star economy — earn up to 3 stars per duel, spend at the Decksmith's archive
• Rewarded video ads (optional, user-initiated)
• Original library ambient soundtrack (AI-composed, 90-second seamless loops)
