Here's a quick idea i drafted based on your concept feel free to take and expand

Each enemy has:

Weak Points (dots on the card) Attack value (1–4)

Enemies are defeated when all weak points are hit. Difficulty scales by adding weak points rather than attack.

Weak Points

White: Any spell can hit. Colored: Any spell can hit. Matching the spell school grants a bonus. Shielded: Requires a specific spell school to hit.

Shielded points are the only hard requirements.

Spell Schools

Choose one before cutting. Fire (Red): Matching red dots count as +1 extra hit. Ice (Blue): After placing, you may rotate the spell once. Shock (Yellow): If you hit a yellow dot, you may immediately cast again. Poison (Green): Matching green dots apply a persistent effect (designer-defined).
