Revision as of 22:18, 27 November 2021
| Tarot is the skill of flinging cards inscribed with powerful images to great effect. It is said that in ancient days the original Tarot was much different than what is seen in these modern times, as the cards have evolved to reflect aspects of the Last Nine Vernal Gods. The skill was developed in cities and is primarily used by the guardian archetype. It is an excellent all-around skill with a variety of offensive, defensive and miscellaneous powers. |

CardPacks
| Syntax |
| IND <number> <card> OUTD <number> <card> |
Cardpacks is the ability to utilise the magical cardpacks. When you have a cardpack, you can see what it contains by probing it. IND (for INDECK) <tarot> will put a card in the pack and OUTD <tarot> will take it out again. You may IND and OUTD up to 50 cards at once by doing IND 50 FOOL, or OUTD 50 FOOL for instance.
Magician
| Syntax |
| FLING MAGICIAN AT <player> |

The Hermit is a solitary person. When you activate the hermit card, it will remember the location at which you activated it. Then, when you fling it, you will be transported to that location, provided there are no players in that location at the time. To see where an activated card leads to: TOUCH <hermit>. Hermit cards will not carry you across planes or continents. HERMITLIST will show you a list of all hermit cards in your inventory and where they lead to.
Empress
| Syntax |
| FLING EMPRESS AT <player> |
| Applications: 1 |
With this ability, you may summon someone from anywhere within the local area, provided you are on his or her allies list. If you have forced yourself onto that list via the Lust tarot (or a love potion), then you will be able to summon that person from anywhere on the continent.

| Applications: 4 |
The wisdom of D'Varsha the Teacher can be invoked with this card, and your target will be taught the mysteries of one subject. This card only lasts one Lusternian day on any one person, and will only work once per Lusternian month.
| Additional Notes: |
| A one-day boost to a random skill. |
Lovers
| Syntax |
| FLING LOVERS AT <target> |
| Applications: 1 |
The Lovers tarot will inspire your target to fall deeply in love with the world, rendering them pacified and unable to cause harm to others.

| Power: 2 (any) Type: 100% Unblockable |
By the vibration of Klangratch, the Axe of War, any aggressive tarot cards you fling at an opponent will also damage that person. This will last for 3 flings.

Sniffing the card will tell you how many times you have rubbed it on your foul oppressor, while flinging it will begin the process of calling upon the vibrations of the Soulless Gods to destroy the soul of your enemy. Be warned, however, that this process takes concentration and you may not do anything else while Soulless energies become manifest.
