I’m adding accessibility options to School of Magic, but my font size slider doesn’t work for cards (they use autosizing). Would it be acceptable to add a slider that scales cards on hover instead? Changing the card display isn’t feasible anymore.

✨Ova Magica is still on sale!✨

Our biggest discount ever — and likely the lowest price for a long time.

With version 1.0 on the horizon (and a possible slight price increase at full release) now’s the perfect time to start your adventure in Clover Town🍀!

I really underestimated how strong the Bloodlink keyword can get🩸
At just 300 Life left, this value already ramps up to +17.5% damage way higher than I initially thought

I need to make the scaling ranges clearer in the descriptions so players immediately understand how wild the numbers can swing

Dindi (any pronouns) is based on the new familiar of our Story DLC Tempest Tantrum. She was sent to Clay by Cassiopeia after the events of Tavern Talk and hasn’t left his side since. She’s a bit bossy...
