@kedik22 – Try using every spell you have the next time you play the Arena. When you finish the match and return to the main Arena screen, DO NOT click to go back to the map. You can play several Arena rounds in succession and continue to deplete your spells, just never exit to the map. When you’re done with the Arena, force quit the AB2 app. (On an iPhone, double click the home button and swipe AB2 up off the screen; this may need to be done differently on other devices.) Then restart the app and you should have all the stars/feathers/etc. you earned from those last few Arena runs, but your spells will have reset back to the number you had before the first of those runs. (You’ll also lose any spells you won from treasure chests during those runs.)
You can also use this trick to get back spells you used to assist in a regular campaign level, the DC, or the KPC. In that case, you’d force quit after seeing the screen that shows you the three stars or the prizes you won for completing the DC/KPC. The key is to never let it go back to the map screen. That seems to be when it actually saves the changes to your spell count.
Be warned that if you complete an Arena run right when a tournament ends and you’re awarded a prize based on your placement, it DOES save your spell count then. (I had this happen to me last Saturday.) Also, if you get booted back to the map due to the Arena not loading, it will save your spell count then, so if you see the Matilda “connection error” screen, force quit the app immediately.
This works for me on an iPhone, but I’m not 100% sure it works on all devices. To be on the safe side, start by just using one of a spell where you have a few to spare, so that if it doesn’t work out you haven’t wasted anything important. Once you’ve acquired at least one of every spell, basically you can use every spell on every Arena run using this trick. If you were wondering how so many of your opponents had such a surplus of spells, well now you know.
