Another that doesn't fit the "choose one" mold, but is intended to be similar. I'm not sure how much the gameplay here will be interesting and how much it will be repetitive, but there's several possibilities: if you avoid casting things to get back better spells; if you're at risk of dying from the life loss; if your opponent makes a mistake in guessing what to try to avoid giving back.
