Loom/Drafts

Drafts (spells) that appear in Loom are different each time you restart the game. However they are not totally random; each draft is randomly alternating from 3 predefined combinations.

This list shows all the drafts shown in the game. They are intended to help you continue or restore an older game even after having forgotten or lost your notes.

The drafts are ordered according to their level. Note that this does not necessarily reflect the order in which the drafts appear during the game: some drafts are learned before you can cast them (you can cast them later, once you acquire a higher level); sometimes you also learn new drafts of a lower level (you learn and use 2nd-level TERROR while you can already cast 3rd-level drafts).

Still, this order is largely approximate to the order you will use them, anyway.
