=== Breakdown ===
"Cast a Spell" consists of five verse choices, and a total of 17 different verses. Apart from the blue option in verse 2, all verse options have 1 version each. Grace's choices in verses 2 and 4 may be limited to only two options, depending on her decisions for verses 1 and 3.
*Green verse choices from Grace nudge Asterion towards kind and heartfelt actions, providing a focus for sentimentality and charm.
*Red verse choices from Grace encourage Asterion to take bolder and more direct actions, speaking in pure, unfiltered honesty about his feelings.
*Blue verse choices from Grace give Asterion the floor completely, as well as make room for Hecate to respond honestly to Asterion's verses.
Depending on Grace's decisions, Hecate will either accept or reject Asterion's confession.
==== Verse 1 ====
The first decision has 3 possible verses, each affecting how Asterion gets past stumbling over his words. Depending on what is chosen here, Grace's options for verse 2 may be limited to only two choices.
*Green: Grace advises Asterion to say something nice about Hecate, such as telling Hecate what Asterion likes so much about her.
*Red: Grace encourages Asterion not to lose his nerve and power through, suggesting he tell Hecate what he wants.
*Blue: Grace lets Asterion work through the stumble on his own, persuading him to give it another go in spite of his reduced morale.
==== Verse 2 ====
The second decision has 5 possible verses, similarly offering advice or direction for Asterion's second verse. Depending on what Grace chose for verse 1, her decision here may be limited to only 2 choices: blue, and whatever color she chose in verse 1. If Grace chose blue in verse 1, all three options will be available to her.
*Green: Asterion takes the direction of trying to charm Hecate, suggesting that the two of them could be something more than just friends.
*Red: Grace offers Asterion confidence to keep going, as Asterion explains to Hecate that he'll forever be her ally.
*Blue (3 variations): Grace and Asterion give Hecate space to properly give her thoughts and feelings about Asterion.
==== Verse 3 ====
The third decision has 3 possible verses, each deciding who will step in to aid Asterion as he quickly loses momentum and confidence. Grace's decision here can similarly limit verse 4's options to two choices rather than three.
*Green: Freddie, persuaded by Grace to help, explains to Hecate how courageous Asterion is for confessing, and that not doing so would have led to regret.
*Red: Grace takes the stage to help, clarifying to Hecate how much joy and love Asterion has for her, despite his clumsiness with words.
*Blue: Asterion soldiers on through his embarrassment, telling Hecate just how much of both a comfort and a miracle her companionship is.
==== Verse 4 ====
Decision four has 3 possible verses, each taking a different approach towards Asterion's final verse before Hecate's decision. Just like verse 2, Grace's options in verse 4 are limited to blue, and whatever color she chose in verse 3 (with blue again being the exception, as that lets her pick between all three options). 
*Green: Asterion gives one final hopeful remark towards the possibility of their relationship creating a better future for the both of them, to ease Hecate's deep-seated uncertainty.
*Red: Asterion dances around, boldy expressing that he won't shy away from the risks that may come from their relationship deepening.
*Blue: Hecate is given the floor to ask if her love is worth it, as Asterion reassures her that she has changed his life in a wonderful way.
==== Verse 5 ====
The final decision of this song has 3 possible verses. Whatever Grace chooses here will ultimately determine whether or not Hecate will accept Asterion's confession.
*Green: Hecate is overjoyed at the thought of having her very own love story, with Asterion to be with her along the way, and accepts the offer.
*Red: Hecate accepts the offer without hesitation, and expresses her overwhelming joy, despite the circumstances, in a dance with Asterion.
*Blue: Asterion is wracked with pain in his heart as Hecate declines his offer. Hecate offers to take away his pain, to which Asterion accepts, as she casts a spell.
