Will there be a way to know what ability is unlocked with memorization, trial and error or having the wiki open in another page?

without*, I presume.

Basically, this card is for veterans who know the card's secrets right off the bat, not newbs. I suppose if it was made rare, then it would have less impact, since newer places wouldn't get their hands on it...
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

But veterans would still need to test the abilities on release, or consult the wiki. Only the people who were involved in the creation of the card will know what it does off the bat, which would amount to about forty people if the participation on this thread is any indicator. And I know more than 40 people play this game.

People who use Nymph's Tears have to remember what each of the 12 nymphs do. This only has 11 different abilities, many already in-game.

I'm talking about after this card has been out for some time. Think about it. Even if it's been out for awhile, will newbies know what it does unless they use actual experience? Making it rare would give players time to look up its power before being able to use it unknowningly.

Newbies won't know what it does. Most people wouldn't know what it does, and it's not a good thing if they need to consult a secondary source to find out the effect of a card. It's not a good thing for most pieces of software if the user has to look up what a button does in the instruction manual.

And it would be a fine thing to have this pulled out on you when you had no idea what it did.

People who use Nymph's Tears have to remember what each of the 12 nymphs do. This only has 11 different abilities, many already in-game.
That puts both cards at fault. Mistakes can be made, and past precedent does not justify future actions. The card has to be reviewed as it currently is, and both cards need modifying to reveal more information.

What would happen if I got a Phase Dragon through Mutation and cast this on it?

I suggest you gain the ability to cast quintessence on creatures via the dragon's ability.

Also, Dragon Power isn't the most inspired of names. I would suggest calling it "Dragon Shadow" after the rarest card in Wyvern TCG.

Yep, because rather than take an uninspired name, we oughta take a name from another card game.
