Mythswayer Prototype Controls Info
We’d like to help everyone get started with the prototype, so here’s a brief summary of the current controls. Controller support is planned for a future update.

Controls
Spells can be selected in two ways:
Hold the Q key briefly to bring up the spell bar, then use A, S, D to navigate or simply left-click on a spell.
Or use F2 for Arcane Bolt, F3 for Arcane Shield, and F4 for Time Wrap directly.
Note: This is the first iteration of the keybindings. Full keyboard/mouse and controller support will improve usability in future versions.
■ Character Attributes
You can allocate points under Primary Attributes / Skills on your character screen. For a Mage, we recommend:
A. Arcana – Grants +1 HP, +1 Tempo, and +3 Focus per rank
B. Finesse – Grants +2 HP, +2 Tempo, and +1 Focus per rank
If survivability is a priority, invest in Vigor, which grants +4 HP and +1 Tempo per rank.
Many items also boost these attributes depending on their rarity and stats.
■ Combat Basics
Main rule: If you run out of Tempo, end your turn by pressing ENTER or clicking the End Turn button.
Your character can only move or act as long as they have Tempo remaining.
Tip: If you're near an Exit, you can flee to the adjacent map.
■ Spell Usage
Arcane Bolt – A magical projectile that can hit enemies even without Line of Sight.
→ Press F2, or hold Q, navigate with A/S/D
→ Press Q again to enter targeting mode
→ Rotate target with A/D, cast with F
Arcane Shield – Currently self-cast only. Grants both physical and magical protection.
→ Use F3 or hold Q, navigate to the spell
→ Target yourself, confirm with F
Time Wrap – A spell with dual-purpose effects:
→ Cast on enemies to increase their Tempo cost
→ Cast on yourself to reduce your Tempo cost
→ Use the same selection method as above
■ Targeting & Hit Chance
When targeting, a stats window appears next to the enemy.
Note: The window disappears if you move the mouse.
The percentage displayed indicates your hit chance.
■ Additional Tips
Lootables such as equipment and consumablesare essential.
You can use potions before or during combat.
You cannot change gear while in combat.
