Blades are for you or your foe. Casting a blade for yourself can increase your next spell from your school. So, if you're a fire wizard and you cast yourself a blade, it will rotate around you about face level and boost your next fire spell. If you cast a blade to your foe (and it looks the same except with the jagged edges) it decreases his next spell (any spell!) usually by 25%. Now traps are different. They rotate around your foe's knees. They also give your next school spell to him a boost. I think I'm getting this right. In your spell book clicking on the question mark tab (?) will also explain how to use those. Educate yourself. It will help you when you get up in the ranks and facing more powerful opponents.
The blade is used to make your spell more powerful. Click on the card in your deck, then click on yourself. the next spell you cast, using that school spell, will get whatever boost the blade provides. Example: 40% life blade will increase an Imp spell by 40%.
If you are level 6 or above, I recommend going to see Diego the Duel Master in Unicorn Way. He can show you how to use blades, shields, etc.

Simply place the blade on yourself or another player before your attack. The blade will boost your attack strength. If you have not done Diego's tutorial quest in Unicorn Way, you should do so.
The Blade Spells amplify the Damage of your next outgoing Damage Spell by the percentage listed on the card, and are best used before casting a Spell. For instance, should you cast, say, Imp, and it does, say, 105 Damage, this is what it will do.
105+40%=147. 40% of 105 is 42, so it becomes 105+42=147. Remember, the Blade I used for the equation is Lifeblade, because it is the only non-Universal Blade that can affect a Life Spell such as Imp. Other Blade percentages can range from 25% to 40%. Blades will appear around your Wizards head when cast, and are color coded. Here is a quick list of them:
