Add a new rule called “Personality Traits” and give it the following text:
Each Wizard has a set of Personality Traits, where each Personality Trait is a number that is publicly tracked and defaults to 0. The Personality Traits are:
* Selfish
* Benevolent
* Belligerent
* Reclusive
In the rule “Commencing a Duel” before the bullet point that begins with “Each Wizard’s Spell is cast” add this bullet point:
* For each Wizard who selected a spell to cast in the current Duel, increase each of that Wizard’s Personality Traits that match the Spell’s Traits, if any, by 1.
In the rule “Spells” add the following bullet point after “a speed”:
* a set of traits
and in the same rule add this paragraph:
If a Spell has Traits, the Traits are a list of one or more Personality Traits.
In the subrules “Greed”, “Gather”, “Snipe”, and “Spotlight” add this text:
Traits: Selfish
In the subrules “Burn”, “Doom Cloud”, and “Expose” add this text:
Traits: Belligerent
In the subrules “Gift” and “Unify” add this text:
Traits: Benevolent
In the subrules “Misdirection” and “Magical Armor” add this text:
Traits: Reclusive
In the subrule “Siphon” add this text:
Traits: Selfish, Belligerent
This shapes a Wizard’s personality scores according to the spells they select. We can use this in conjunction with other mechanisms to influence what types of spells Wizards are incentivized to cast and thus move the Stars economy up instead of down. For example, if the eventual win condition requires a Wizard to be the least Belligerent, Wizards will be less likely to cast Spells with that Trait.
Technically, this information could be derived rather than tracked, but then we’d have to establish when derivation of these traits should have begun. I’d rather just have actual gamestate tracking. It also makes it easier to see personality traits at a glance and over time.

eh, not really a fan - one group of people is definitely going to receive the short end of the stick when we plug this into something
