Designing spells

Each spell must have exactly one Core and one Expression. The combination of the two determines the base spell type. All spells of the same base type share a cooldown.

Spells can have any number of Accents.

Note that beneficial spells using the same Expression Sigil cannot stack on a given target. For example, the Gift of the Golem spell (Guarded Form expression) will stack with Titan's Touch (Focused Intent expression). Likewise, Spectral Blur (Focused Intent expression) will stack with Mirror Image (Guarded Form expression). But Titan's Touch will not stack with Spectral Blur as they both use the expression Focused Intent.

Cores

There is one Core for each of the 11 Magic Skills.
