This is the second installment of Mage Mash, this time with improved balance! Last time, everyone would just sit around casting Meditate and Mind Control, but this time I've tried to rebalance the spells, with the feedback from the previous game in mind, to make all of them worth using. Meditate was nerfed and Mind Control was removed because it was anti-fun.
I've also added a new mechanic - your Arcane Focus. There are 4 Focuses, which give you access to spells that people from different Focuses don't have. This should spice up the gameplay with new choices for you to make - and remember you can change your Focus on your turn if you want.
So without further ado, here's the new and improved spell list! You start with 5 HP and the last player standing wins! Phase length will be 24 or 48 hours, we'll have a vote when everyone's confirmed.

I guess it would take mana from thier focuses in the listed order of (earth) > (water) > (fire) > (air)
so if their focuses were air and fire, it would take mana from fire > air and then the rest of the normal order.
