Hexcode is a component-based spellcasting system.
It is a two-phase system. Crafting mode and Casting mode
Crafting mode is where you setup your spells at your base. It is a space for you to draw glyphs, combine them, and add them to your book
Pedestals hold your book and apply some modifier to it
Obelisks modify your crafting area in some way (larger, faster, more accurate, etc)
Casting mode is the mode you enter when in combat or out on the go. It lets you combine the glyphs you made in Crafting Mode to make scenario-specific responses to thing.
The book you hold that keeps your glyphs in it. Limited number of glyphs / book
The item you use to combine and cast your spells. Determines where around you they spawn as well as modifies the recastability of your magic
Here's some videos demonstrating the system
