 MAGIC NOTES: 
 Low Road Legends Magic 
 Magic has to have a cost cant be spamming it System needs to have a cooldown offset by Ess, but minimum of 1 turn between use of a spell. Spells that last 2 turns would have a minimum of 2 The idea is to not have a spam of one. Some spells may bypass this but we will just call it the cooldown and all spells have a global of one unless otherwise noted. Cost can be added too, possibly essence charging up after being expended A spell may cost 4 ESS, a player had 4 total, player builds up 1 per turn if essence was a specific number and more if his starting number was higher. The above are all ideas and subject to change as are the info below 
 Magic has evolved 
 Magic is now not int but essence representing magical ability 
 Direct attack spells 
 Your average attack spells, fireball etc Cause direct damage and likely have a defense related to one stat 
 Buff Spells 
 Spells to increase a stat, damage, defense or something else. Conversly includes spells to do the opposite to enemies(target allies is ok though) This is your ray of enfeeblement or haste style spells 
 Reactive Spells 
 Reactions, realistically im expecting these to be paired with attack or defense Spell that Raises defense based on Ess when hit(reactions to the hit) 
 Combo Spells 
 Similar to reactive spells except these are comboed with an action not in response to an action. As above a spell may be defensive when you are hit, that is reactive, but a spell to say make a blade hit at a distance, would be done in conjunction with the action of attacking. 
 Misc Spells 
 These are spells that may have rules specific to them, on a bell curve i expect them to contain the weakest and strongest spells. Summoning Minions Reviving the dead “Healing” -> seems more a buff spell though
