Hello. I'm new (ish) to the game. I made a character a few years ago and then got into other things. I've come back and a lot has changed so I'm not sure if the issue is due to some of the changes. I am a level 76 Ice wizard. Recently - through a pack or a drop, not sure - I got a Storm spell card "Hammer of Thor". Not a treasure card, it's in my regular deck. Honestly I may have even trained but I can't remember. I bought back my training points to redo my deck when I came back and I concentrated on Storm, Fire, and Life with a few Balance. Anyway, I've noticed that this card will come up but it is never playable. I'll have plenty of pips, but I can never use it. What am I missing? I'm afraid this may have something to do with spellements and spellwrighting, which I haven't figured out yet.
Probably because you aren't getting actual Storm pips. You'll need to read up on how to change the School Pips you are getting in a battle - this is one of the newest features they have introduced. I think all of the Lore Spells require their particular School Pips in order to be cast.
