Combat
Once a card engage a battle, it is unavailable for several minutes and may not commence an attack again (as its rate property allows). At each battle the cars loses turns due to using its artifacts. When a character loses all its hit points, it loses one level and regains full health. If the character is already on level 1, it moves to the winner possession. Upon losing a battle, all the artifacts attached to it are lost to the winner (even if they weren't owned by the owner of that character). Character which wins the battle gains experience points. During battle, a character uses its artifacts, each use may result in one of the following: the card don't have enough turns to use this artifact, the artifact's level is higher than the card's level, the artifact has lost all its uses, a miss – the artifact missed its target, success – the artifact hits the target – in that case the effect is reported.
