⚔️ Spelltech: Think of Magic Like an Engineer 🛠️
Ren is a brilliant engineer surrounded by some very capable teammates. His specialty is finding creative ways to combine things that seem unrelated.
That’s the premise at the heart of Spelltech: bringing an engineer’s ingenuity into a world of magic, where familiar abilities can produce extraordinary results when used together.
But before we explore those combinations, let’s look at what each team member brings to the table.
🗡️ Ren — Creation Magic & Telekinesis
Ren creates swords with different materials and densities: tiny lead-based “bullet swords,” carbon-steel longswords, and tungsten daggers for penetration.
His telekinesis lets him move those blades—or other objects—at will. Every movement comes at a mana cost, so how he uses them matters.
And yes, we’re saving his most inventive creations for the game. 😉
⚔️ Selene — Swordsmanship & Martial Arts
A master swordswoman and martial artist whose fighting style revolves around agility. Light, fast, and acrobatic, Selene uses exceptional reflexes to dodge attacks, redirect force, and strike before her opponent can recover.
⚡ Lula — Electricity
Lula generates electricity, unleashing lightning bolts, chain lightning, and lightning pillars. From individual strikes to attacks that spread between enemies, she brings serious power to the team.
🛡️ Elena — Barriers & Healing
Elena’s healing mist restores health over time, keeping her teammates fighting.
Her barrier magic offers two distinct forms of protection: thick barriers that withstand repeated attacks, and a special barrier that completely nullifies any one attack.
So, what happens when these abilities work together?
Welcome to the wonderful world of combo fighting—one of Spelltech’s specialties. ⚔️⚡
Let’s start with the obvious combination: Ren + Selene
Ren uses telekinesis to support Selene’s weight, accelerate her movements, and send her darting around the battlefield while keeping her supplied with blades.
She becomes a slicing speedster, changing direction and cutting through enemies in an instant—as long as she stays within Ren’s telekinetic range.
They called it: Blade Dancer!
Now that we’ve got that one out of the way, let’s think like an engineer:
How would you combine the rest of these abilities?
Let’s hear your ideas in the comments. 👇

Was interested til I noticed the AI slop images. No thanks.
Could you point out to what you mean? I’m using AI for concepts, Then pose these in 3D app, Then use AI to enhance at the end, But maybe something slipped that shouldn’t have, If you can point out to what you mean it will be great help. You can help us avoid the slop that we all hate. Also all devs in the world are using AI tools in some capacity, it’s very helpful.
These mechanics are based on the double and triple attacks from Chrono Trigger (1995) 😮. Interestingly, they could come up with a "quadruple" ultimate attack featuring Ren and the three girls, which is something new given that Chrono Trigger had a limit of three characters in battle.
Actually have not seen that one, I did mostly Tabley top d&d back then, street fighter and such… I do remember eye of the beholder, bards tales, and a few others, but not chrono trigger, Well great minds I suppose. lol. I listed most of the major references in the what if post, But being honest it’s much more than those. The biggest reason though, no one has done it before and I found it shocking.
One question: Will, at least, some part of the game be released relatively soon? Or, is there still a long way to go?
I'm aiming toward winter sale this year, but we'll see according to production. we're getting there, but who knows - projects have a way to surprise us especially towrad the end. haha.
Sounds cool! Seems like combat will be fun! Ren and Lula's most obvious combination: Electrified flying daggers! :D
