Spells is a library for parsing the text on Magic: The Gathering cards.
Note that this is pre-pre-Alpha software and you should probably not really use it!
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'spells'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install spells
Parsing activated abilities
card = Spells::Card.new
card.text = "{2}{R}, {T}: Ghost-Lit Raider deals 2 damage to target creature.
Channel - {3}{R}, Discard Ghost-Lit Raider: Ghost-Lit Raider deals 4 damage to target creature."
card.abilities.map &:text_value
# => ["{2}{R}, {T}: Ghost-Lit Raider deals 2 damage to target creature.", "Channel - {3}{R}, Discard Ghost-Lit Raider: Ghost-Lit Raider deals 4 damage to target creature."]
card.triggered_abilities.map &:text_value
