All characters' action orders will be displayed on the action bar. Tap the skill you want to use to select it. Following that, select the target the skill is going to be released on. Skills can be used to attack, defend, heal, and so on depending on the shikigami or onmyouji.

Victory screen

Summon[]
Summoned Yuki Onna
Most shikigami can be summoned. Onmyouji can enter into a contract with youkai, upon which they are called shikigami. There are several ways to summon shikigami. One of the most basic methods to summon is to draw charms on amulets. Shikigami can also be summoned by contract scroll in the book of shikigami once enough shards have been collected.
You start with Sanbi no Kitsune, Yuki Onna, and a random N shikigami. They are fixed and cannot be changed.
Level[]
All shikigami can be leveled to become a six-star shikigami. They can also be awakened which boosts base stats, unlocks or strengthens skills.
A shikigami is summoned at level 1 and can go up to level 40. Shikigami usually are summoned with 2 stars, but there are rare cases that they can come with 3 stars or more.
To raise their levels maximize the current level and feed them cards with the ammount of the stars needed. Example: to raise a shikigami to a 3 star, you need 2 shikigami that are 2 star. To 4 you need 3 3 stars and so on.
*Exception are blue darumas whose stars cannot be raised and thus cannot reach level 40. Black daruma are unable to reach 6 star.
