NOTES:
After calculating the formula it should round down so if you play this round 4 unupgraded that would be 15/4 or 3.75 so would only gain 3 on each stack

Soo... if 10 turns have passed (using the unupped), I only get 1 pillar? (15/10 = 1.5, rounded down)

What if there have been 16 turns? (15/16 = 0.9375, rounded down would = 0)

Also, you need to cite your art source.

yes pretty much it is only useful early on just like the expansion of the universe was dramatic at the start but then the expansion compared to its current size is not that large

Hmm... If that Implode card which is also in deck building stage was used in tandem with G. PIllars it'd be OP.

If I had 2 G. PIllars and 2 Implodes and 1 of these, then I pretty much do the impossible 20/0 and break the game. (assuming the upped version)

And even if not, by turn 2 or 3, I can get 10 or 7 pillars/pendulums for free with the above combo.
The problem is without Implode, it becomes quite useless, because Gravity has no pumpable spells (Fire Bolt in  :fire)
The only way you can get a sizable amount of pillars is by using  :gravity, otherwise it's too slow and you'd get 1 at the most.

it adds to each stack meaning that if you have a gravity pillar stack a gravity pend stack and a fire pillar stack and played the unupped round 3 you would gain 5 to each stack highly unlikely that you could play it that early though which is the point to make it hard to play early.

I recommend to shorten the card text so you could put all the "stuff" you want in there.
Ignotum venit retro vivere. :aether :light

ironically the expanding nature of the universe is counter to gravity, as gravity is what is attempting to pull it together- but overall failing.

I don't quite get the term "expand".

basically if you have say a stack of 2 gravity pillars and 3 fire pillars and it is round 5 and you play this card unupped after you play it it winds up being that you have 5 gravity pillars and 6 fire pillars because you added 3 to each stack

So would this occur each round?

There seems to be an ongoing problem with card design where people use descriptions on the card that fit the flavor of the card but don't exactly gel well with how other cards in game are worded. There are cards that add x to thing and none of them use the word expand. The current description goes against the way other cards that add things or generate cards are worded.
