A clash occurs when both you and the opponent intersect each other while moving to your target locations. 
Damage will be equal to the attacker’s strength, which at the start is one.

However, if the opponent defends themselves, they will take no damage from the fight or clash.

Defending will allow you to negate all damage and/or from being afflicted with a status.

The energy cost of the magic is denoted by a tally mark overlay on the spells.  
Green/Teal icons are spells that will influence the user. 
Purple/Magenta Icons are spells that influence the opponent, if they make contact. 
If the spell is a purple/magenta icon you will be prompted with a magic target selection. 
You will then select the quadrant you wish the spell to move towards. 
If your spell would target the quadrant you are occupying, after a fight, the spell will instead move towards the intended movement target.
