This page serves as a reference page when looking for what a certain word or phrase means in the context of a game of Spirit Island.
__TOC__
<!--goal is to make each item a header so can link to them easily

need extension TemplateStyles to create modified table of contents
{{TOC|limit=1}}

also would be really nice to have Header Text e.g. 
Accelerate: Discard....
but don't think can put text next to actual headers

this page might be more easily laid out as a table? But then doesn't really look like a "Glossary"-->
