Orbs, Focus scaling, passive setup turns
Core Mechanics
Orbs
Channel Lightning, Frost, and Dark Orbs to generate recurring passive value and burst through evocation timing.
Focus
Scale Orb passive and evoke output with Focus buffs, turning setup turns into stronger late-combat control.
Sequencing
Defect rewards careful turn planning around channel, evoke, and hand tempo rather than pure front-loaded damage.
