ART: Zanzarino and Kamietsu IDEA: pikachufan2164 NOTES: Submission for the "Skill of the Elemental" Competition. Yes, it's this ability again. Water is reliant on "forced duos" to utilize its synergies with other elements, and the Transmute ability tries to do some quanta fixing to relieve some of that dependence, and also smooths over minor quanta issues. The ability is quite flavourful when put on the Mark, as it exemplifies a Water elemental's ability to adapt to the styles of the other elements, much like the cards of its own element. Why is it the Mark of the Alchemist? Water's alchemy card is Nymph's Tears, which is able to generate Nymphs that can produce the effects of an alchemy card -- this connection makes the name quite fitting. Mechanic: when the Transmute ability is used, a targeting cursor appears on each of the quanta pools belonging to the player with the Mark of the Alchemist. Selecting a quanta pool will add 1 quanta to that particular pool. Obviously only usable once per turn. Balance: Theoretically, a 1:1 conversion ratio makes Mark of the Alchemist functionally equivalent to a regular mark of any element at any time (for the purposes of this 'enhanced mark' competition, it would be fine, but in regular use, would make normal marks obsolete). Currently considering increasing the ability cost to for 1 quanta generated, but it looks underpowered with that conversion rate. SERIES:

Very interesting idea, it would allow mono water deck pretty strong... I can't imagnie Neptune using poseidon thanks to this card
