Blend
A blend decides how an item or a group lands on what is beneath it. Select it, open its Effects menu and press the Blend card, and its Recipe holds the settings below: the mode, and once a mode is picked, how strongly it applies. With no mode picked the item lands normally, over what is beneath it. Hover a row of the Recipe, or hold a finger still on it, and it shows what that setting does — the sentence this page lists for it — with Learn more leading to its section here; the value does not change.
The colour modes work on every item and group. Three more — keeping, removing or landing only over what is beneath — are offered on an item inside a group, where they shape how the group's members combine.
