Spectral Reflector | Spectral Prism
(Quantum Mechanics)

NAME: Spectral Reflector ELEMENT: Light COST: 2 TYPE: Permanent (Artifact) ATK|HP: - ABILITY: For each Non-Darkness Elemental card in hand Spectral Reflector turns into a Quanta of that cards type.	NAME: Spectral Prism ELEMENT: Light COST: 1 TYPE: Permanent (Artifact) ATK|HP: - ABILITY: For each Non-Darkness Elemental card in hand Spectral Prism turns into a Quanta of that cards type.

ART: Kael Hate IDEA: Kael Hate NOTES: - Clusters - This works during the end sequence by triggering an effect for each card in hand. For each trigger the game attempts to consume a  quanta. If it successfully does so then it generates a quanta matching the card element. If the card is Darkness or an Other type then nothing is generated.

Hmmmmmm...

So basically, this card will replace what is now the rainbow deck?

I envision seeing a few of these in play, along with a mark of light and a few light pillars, and then just generating the exact quanta that you need, although somewhat slowly...

Hm, for every point I can think of that seems to make this card very powerful, there is a counterpoint to it. Very nice... Not sure what I would suggest differently. If this does make it, it will become a VERY influential card.

It can't work as a rainbow does today because it does not directly give you quanta for the activators of cards. Some creative balance would allow you to get around that tho.

I don't think I am quite sure how this works, it makes a quanta for each card in your hand thats not a dark elemental, but does it give you 1 for each cards element?

Ok, now I'm confused.  ???

I thought, for example, if you had 3 life cards and 2 air cards in your hand, that at the end of your turn, this card would generate 3 life quanta and 2 air quanta.

You Have 10 Light Pillars and 1 Spectral Prism in play, 10 in the stockpile, 3 Forest Spectre (life) and 2 Firefly Queen (Air) in Hand,

The Mirror takes 5 and gives you 3 , 2

But this gives you no to pay for the forest spectres growth ability.

Lol why are these always so complex? My brain hurts after reading that description.

I like cards like Nova that are simple.

[killsdazombies]

yea, i always read these and im like "ow....." i wish these were less complicated.

lol, my thoughts cycle between, Tactical Action, Calculations and Revelations. This is as simple to me as nova.

Ahh I understand. I like it a lot.

Actually, this is kaels first card i understood as soon as i read it.

I think its balanced since it will only give you quanta for that element if the card is in your hand.
