Part of making the world of magic come alive is expending on the Poker game. I'm spending some time this week working on the paths of elsewhere, and the various companions.

There are several types of Magic in the world. Chloe (and some of the other characters) are what is referred to as Sorcerers. They are sensitive to the the flow of Magic, and take hints and nudges from it.

In game, this is represented by 'meta magic' logic. Where a healer heals and an evoker channels brute force, sorcerers affect the logic of the spells themselves. Here I test out the first 4 sorcerous actions:
1. Replace one of your cards (at random) with a joker
2. Replace the center of the board with a joker
3. Sort the cards by suit
4. Sort the cards by value

Together these elements allow us to change up the game logic. Each of the actions trigger from conversations; there's two types of conversations for each action.. one that's played the first time you use the spell, one that's played subsequently.
