Making series is all the rage these days, you know.

Do you people remember this card?

(No? Meanie. >:|)

Well, I said one day, I'd make a series about it.
So HI.

There will be a total of 29 cards for this set - 2 for each element, and then 5 strange outliers.

Note that this series is entirely a mechanical one - I'm using divination to give me some spice.
Why divination? ... I don't know. Feels right.
Sounds cool.
Might give some people some odd trivia.

 :) That seems to be a nice card, and the name sounds like its element. The only thing I see a problem with is how SoR would work (Unless I got the wrong idea on this). Would SoR only use one ability twice, or let you use both abilities and reset onto the first on the next turn?
Wyrms are the essence of wind, power, and dominance. Can't you see I just capitalize on that factor?

Halomancer ability sort of confuses me... Upped version is better, right? More health and the ability does more. That is good, right? But... unupped|upped switches ability cost element. Why not just keep it the same? Fire fits fine with what is essentially Rage Potion, and Earth fits fine with what is essentially Plate Armor. It means that unupped and upped Halomancer would require drastically different deck builds, and I don't really see the point.
There is a darkness inside every person. The only difference is how long it takes to come out.

You can use the first ability without using the second. So I swapped the costs because A) I hate simple upgrades and B) So Time/Earth was able to use this card without fire.

Very interesting card. Reminds me of a repeatable mini-fractal, which I assume is the intent. However, I really have no idea of the relevance of the names here.
May I suggest Cartomancer, Mathemancer, Iconomancer, Apantomancer, for the second one, or really anything besides feet, because why feet?

EDIT: Noticed that Podomancer has its own card idea thread. Too lazy to move over there, but you know what I said.

You're looking at the essence of the creature, and where it has been through its travels, to see where it goes.

...
All the names are completely arbitrary and have loose bearings on the cards. Why feet? Because feet are awesome.

And now, a joke to appetitze people whilst I'm a lazy ass.

I am glad that was a joke.

I haven't touched this thing for over 60 days.
How rude of me.

Go go alectryomancy. I have high hopes for this one, finally.

That's 29 shots to prove that this is an amazing ability.
