TEXT:
Once per turn, a marked card that is played is replaced by a random affordable card.
1 : mark a card in each hand.

ART:

NOTES:
"Today everything just seems to fall apart"

"A source of brilliance and inspiration will present itself before you today. But beware, for others may seek to steal your glory."

A twist on the shard of serendipity theme.
On the one hand, this card has an advantage over SoSe in that the cards it generates are guaranteed to be 'affordable' i.e. it will not give you cards that you do not have the quanta to play.
On the other hand, this card has a double edge because it will do the same thing for your opponent since it marks cards in their hand at the same time.
Additionally, unlike SoSe, the upgrade level of the new card will be determined by the card that it is replacing rather than by the upgrade level of this card. (Thanks to Cremation, there will always be at least 1 affordable spell to choose from)
Upgrading this card instead provides a broader range of utility since the unupgraded version only affects spells.

Mechanics notes:
Since this card 'replaces' a marked spell /card with a new one, only one glyph will trigger at a time. Unupgraded glyphs should be prioritized (by the game engine) for spells.
E.g. if you have an upgraded and an unupgraded glyph and cast a spell, the unupgraded glyph will be the one that triggers.
Since each glyph can only affect 1 spell / card per turn, there will be an advantage to having multiple copies.
Finally, as mentioned above, the glyphs will also trigger on your opponents turn as well (which will be counted as a 'new turn' for the purposes of this mechanic). This is to keep true to the 'double edge' theme of the marked card mechanic. 
There is another card in this series that specifically replaces pillars (Geoshaping Compase). If one of those is present, it takes priority over this card.

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`
