Easily Forgotten Rules of Trismegistus | Official Rules

A refined material can always be used in place of its raw counterpart, but not vice versa.

When reacting to other players' actions you may only choose to gain 1 material or essence, perform a single transmutation, or recharge an artifact. No other Action (including Free Actions) may be performed.

When performing a Transmutation, please remember:

• You may Transmute both raw and refined elements.
• You must use a die of a color matching the Transmutation arrow you will follow while Transmuting.
• As a result of a Transmutation, you always receive a refined material.
• You must always pay 1 Essence for each Transmutation. Afterwards, advance on the Mastery track corresponding to the Essence used.

All players that reach a Bonus token on the same turn (via reactions) can benefit from its ability. Then, used Bonus tokens are removed from the Mastery tracks.

After you draft a die, you must turn it to a different face of your choice.

If you use a Chameleon to change a die, you do not physically change its face.

Silver can be used to pay for temporary Mastery increase for the purpose of performing experiments (do not move your markers, simply pay the difference with Silver).

Gold is a wild resource for all purposes. You may use it as any other resource for any reason. This includes the Silver ability to be spent as temporary Mastery.

Do not spend any resources when unlocking an Achievement. It is enough to demonstrate possession of all required components.

When unlocking Formulas, please remember:

• You may unlock no more than 1 Formula from each Experiment column by preforming an experiment in that column.
• You may unlock no more than 1 Formula from each Experiment column with Gold.
• When unlocking a Formula with Gold remember about the increasing prices: 1 st/2nd/3rd/4th formula costs 1/2/3/4 Gold.

Each unlocked Formula provides you with a discount of 1 material or 1 mastery level requirement for any Experiments performed in its column.

With regards to Experiments, please remember:

• You may have no more than 2 Experiments next to your Laboratory board (ready to be performed).
• Your Masterpiece Experiment does not count against your Experiment limit.
• Performing an Experiment is a Free Action and can be completed at any time during your turn (but not when reacting to other players' actions or after you moved your Turn Order marker to the second row).
