NOTES:
Bio:
Before the Sages (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,22551.0.html) could truly come into prominence, they need a power source to channel this mysterious energy called "quantum" that they had recently harnessed. Pillars were out of the question - they were supposedly minions to their elementals, nothing more.  In a desperate effort to harness quantum for themselves, the Dark Sage called upon one of the darker demons of the lower planes to allow them to gain this power. The demon agreed - but with a condition that the artifacts he made had to be cursed.

Cursed they were - the Sage wielding the Scale would find himself unable to use the proper spell - Fire's Bolts became steam, Darkness's Dragons were tainted by a strong source of light , Air's Tornadoes would do little more than kick up dust and Time's chronomancy often failed to remove poison. It didn't take a single second after their attempts to use these scales that they realized their scales would use quantum of the opposite element.

However, the demon was clever - within the curse, he had hidden a blessing. The sages' need to improve and refine the scale brought them closer together in their attempt to combat the elementals. Working together, they uncovered the ancient manuscripts of Duality and infused it into the scales, allowing them to now change the quantum producde given some time.

Darkness's Dragon rose up again proud and donning armor.
Air's tornadoes scattered not just leaves left and right but bricks and bones.
Time's enemies found themselves many paces back from their destination multiple times, and often took days to find the Sages - by then they were exhausted.
Fire's enemies ran in fear as the sky rained flames.

The uprising had begun.



For now, these are the opposing elements that scale will generate:
 :aether  :time
 :air  :earth
 :darkness  :light
 :death  :life
 :entropy  :gravity
 :fire  :water
Targeting an element means you target the quanta pool, which will be highlighted.  This card is meant to work well in duo decks.

Good going for the bio too.

 :time and :water would benefit from this the most.

Btw, the upgraded card image has an extra line in the description, you might want to fix it real quick.
You can tell because the whole description is a bit too high as shown by the first line touching the top border.

So that's why the text was skewed like that. I'll fix that soon.

EDIT: Fixed.

Hm. Useful!

Can anyone say [*insert element name here*]-bow?

Also, it seems to be adaptable, as you can play, with 10 scales in play, play any card in your hand the turn after you draw it.

Btw, in the bio, "The sages need" is supposed to be "The sages' need" Minor error, but me being the perfectionist that I am, can't help pointing that out.

Nice catch - most people don't usually find something like that. Fixed.

Until now I'm still wondering why  :aether >< :time and  :entropy ><  :gravity . Shouldn't it be  :aether ><  :entropy and :time >< :gravity instead?

Gravity is the LITERAL representation of space. Aether is the space-time representation. In addition, Entropy is for chaos and Gravity is order, forming an obvious opposite. That leaves time and space (as in dimensions - Aether's type of space).
