Gathering of Power introduces four new classes to the game: Warrior Priest, Vampire Lord, Cultist and Golem Master. These classes have their own special cards and mechanics that add more variety and challenge to the game.

How to play Spectromancer?
The game is played on a board with five slots on each side. Each slot can hold one card. You can play one card per turn from your hand of six cards. Each card has a cost in mana, which is generated by your power sources. You have five power sources, one for each element: fire, water, air, earth and a special one for your class. You can also use some of your mana to activate your class ability once per turn.
The goal of the game is to reduce your opponent's life points to zero by attacking with your cards. Each card has an attack and a health value. When a card attacks, it deals damage equal to its attack value to the target card or the opponent's life points if the slot is empty. When a card receives damage, its health value is reduced. If a card's health value reaches zero, it is destroyed and removed from the board.
Some cards have special effects that can trigger when they are played, when they attack, when they are destroyed or at the end of each turn. These effects can do various things, such as healing, damaging, buffing, debuffing, summoning or transforming cards. You need to use these effects wisely to gain an advantage over your opponent.
