SPELLSPEAK is a voice-driven magic battle game where your vocabulary is your weapon. There are no buttons and no predefined spell list — you describe a spell out loud, and the game generates everything in real time. It uses 7 ElevenLabs APIs deeply integrated across the entire battle loop: • Scribe v2 for speech-to-text transcription of player spells • SFX V2 for generating unique spell sound effects from text • Eleven v3 + Audio Tags for emotional enemy wizard voice responses • Voice Design for procedurally generating a unique villain voice each session • Eleven Music for archetype-matched battle soundtracks • Music Inpainting for injecting orchestral critical-hit stings into the live track The AI scores every spell on creativity, specificity, coherence, and drama — a boring "fireball" loses to "a tornado of frozen glass shards that screams at the frequency of breaking bones." The enemy wizard analyzes your spell, taunts you with emotional voice acting, and counters with its own generated magic. Built entirely in Zed with Gemini Flash for spell scoring and image generation. No two battles ever sound or look the same.
