# SpellCrafter

An idle/incremental browser game where you play a mage who combines runes into spells, auto-battles enemies, and advances through a research tree, wrapped in a Windows 95-style interface.

## Description

SpellCrafter is an idle/incremental game built with Angular and styled after Windows 95, with draggable windows for the altar, research, combat, inventory, workshop and other screens. You collect and unlock runes, combine them into custom spells with different damage types and mana costs, and fight enemies that have their own weaknesses and resistances; combat supports an auto mode for idle progress and tracks defeated foes in a bestiary. Character progression uses stats such as wisdom, health, arcane power, vitality, barrier, luck and speed, and is expanded by a research tree that unlocks runes and features. Equipment covers seven slots with six rarity tiers and can be crafted from gathered resources across ten resource categories, which also drop from combat or accumulate passively. Progress saves automatically to local storage.
