Really clever idea for tying the shape of the mana gems to the shape of the mana cost. If the game was brand new, it would be very interesting to explore various shape languages here. I think the current proposal would be misleading on spell mana though, as if I saw this I'd assume correctly that non-spells can't use spell mana, but I'd probably assume spells could *only* use spell mana.

Thanks for sharing the idea. Little changes like this can help a lot with usability, and they're often hard to introduce into an existing game that wasn't built around them from the start.
