Reaction Spell

Reaction Spells are cards that may be played when the condition in their description is met. There is no limit to how many Reaction Spells can be played on any turn; if one Reaction Spell's wording allows it to affect another Reaction Spell that is played it may do so.

Ex. Ryan and Owen are playing Magic Chess. Ryan is about to capture Owen's king, but Owen plays Excelsior! to shield it for the remainder of the turn. Ryan then immediately plays Not So Easy, and Excelsior!'s effect is negated, resulting in Ryan successfully capturing the king.

Development
In the Classic Edition, playing what would eventually become Reaction Spells was in the wording of cards, but because Type did not exist as a way to distinguish these cards, the game was more confusing and difficult to play. Initially, the outline of the cards was the same as that of Basic Spells, but before the release of partOne, the color was changed to a light blue to separate them completely from Basic Spells.
