Actions, sometimes known as effects among other things, are a required part of any spell.
These components decide what a spell primarily does, with actions that allow starting fires, healing the sick, moving things around, and more!
There must be at least one action in every spell, but there can be numerous if the containing spell is formatted correctly.

Descriptors, which some know as modifiers, are an optional but powerful component in any spell.
These components can do a very wide array of things, like modifying a spell's strength, changing what a spell targets, and even reducing the cooldown and cost requirements of a spell!
Every Action in a spell can be paired with any amount of Descriptors.

Descriptors are one of the most dynamic parts of a spell;
You can include many in each part of a spell, and they will all contribute in some way.
But some Descriptors don't add exclusive effects.
What if you could use the same Descriptor multiple times?

For instance, maybe two Descriptors consume reagents to reduce cost.
In this case, the effect will simply resolve twice:
Two of the reagent will be consumed, and the cost of the spell will be dropped twice as much.
Sometimes, though, an effect doesn't make sense to resolve twice, like in the case of colors.
I wonder what happens if you add multiple of these to one spell…

• WHITE
• LIGHT_GRAY
• DARK_GRAY
• BLACK
• RED
• ORANGE
• YELLOW
• LIME_GREEN
• GREEN
• LIGHT_BLUE
• CYAN
• BLUE
• PURPLE
• MAGENTA
• PINK
• BROWN
• RAINBOW

Using these descriptors makes the spell cost cheaper

Subjects are the core of a spell, and define what a spell affects.
These are the only component there can only be one of.
Subject determine targets, such as what a projectile hits, whatever contacts a rune placed on the ground, the first thing the caster can touch, and more.
