The Combat System

The combat within the game is turn based combat where either you or the enemy will have their turn first and the others will be right after. You cast spells from your deck and have limited amount of spells you can cast every battle.
Almost every spell requires pip/s to cast them, everyone gains one pip every turn and there is a chance for it to be a power pip which count as two pips for casting spells of the school you're in. Later spells require school pips.
School pips can be aquired with a gem socketed into a piece of your equipment.

There are many different types of spells but the basic ones are healing, damage, trap, focus, and resistance spells.
