Using the right spell card and battle cards can save you in duels and board travel.

Djinni Rebellion: Use the “Rebellion Suppression” magic card to avoid penalties of a djinni rebellion. If you do not have a spell card for defense against this board square, your strong holds are unguarded until you do one of the following: Pay 3 shards for each djinni guarding a strong hold; complete one lap around the board; or level up.

Reverse Direction: After landing on the board square that causes a direction change, you go in the original direction by: landing on the reverse direction square again; take one of the detours or the golden path

Djinni Blackmail: To prevent the game master from revealing the identity of your spy, pay one plasma element or six shards

Cosmic Fire: To prevent your djinni’s elimination from the game, use the “Resurrection” spell card.

Abundance spell: You may also use the abundance spell to protect against board square losses including Payroll.

Wealth spell: You may use the wealth spell to protect against any loss; including losses from duels and other spells.

Duels: You may avoid a duel by using the “Grand Escape” spell card. However if your opponent counters with the “Trap” spell, you must fight the duel. The “Grand Escape” card works on angel duels as well.

Elements: Gain time crystals faster by grouping similar elements. 5 plasma trades for 4 time crystals, 5 fire trades for 3 time crystals, 5 water, air, and earth trade for 2 time crystals.

Post abandonment: Place one element under the power reward square
