Magic Intelligence System — Operating Skill

When this activates

• Authoring or reviewing a spell, ward, summon, or enchantment.
• Building or auditing the magic encyclopedia in arcanea-ai-app.
• Generating spell art/video or NFT spell-card metadata (the asset pipeline reads this corpus).

The loop

1. Classify on four axes — element ∈ 6, discipline ∈ {attack, defense, summoning}, tier ∈ 7-scale, gate 1–10 (+ derived rank). All four are required.
2. Check the mapping — tier ↔ gate ↔ rank must match docs/MAGIC-PROTOCOLS.md §1. Run node scripts/validate.mjs after any edit to data/spells.json.
3. Gate the name — Arcanean-quality name + incantation per the naming gate (§5). Reject filler.
4. Place it — add to data/spells.json; the web layer (in the arcanea-ai-app repo) mirrors it into apps/web/lib/magic/spells.json + apps/web/lib/magic-system.ts.
