ART:
NikaZaslavsky
IDEA:
NikaZaslavsky (inspired by Eragon), also Dm*fancy numbers* for helping with cost, elements, and other stuff
NOTES:
Spells cost the same number of HP as they would quanta, except for these:
Fire Bolt: Fire Bolt's cost + 1 for every 10 quanta
Fractal: Fractal's cost + target's cost (possibly that amount /2)
Supernova: 24 (24 quanta produced)

Spells that drain all quanta of an element cost HP for their cost but drain quanta.

Both yours and your opponent's spells cost HP.

Dm: post anything I forgot/missed.

Interesting idea about the HP instead of quanta. I think the activated ability of seeing your opponent's hand makes the card OP. The HP to quanta alone seems pretty powerful.

Remember that it's a permanent and can be destroyed before the ability can even be used.

True...but the quanta to HP seems pretty major on its own and this builds in a precognition ability (w/o the card draw) for 3 quanta of any color.

I guess it doesn't need the ability, but it's part of the theme. When one speaks in the ancient language, they can't lie, which is the hand-seeing part. The quanta to HP part is because spells cast in the ancient language consume the user's energy.

ABout the words, Hugin means thought, Wyrda means fate, but Manin isnt a word I know. Is it supposed to be Munin (memory or mind)?

So yes, exactly what I said. Except I'm pretty sure its Munin not Manin. I may be mistaken, but I'm fairly sure I'm not

First, 75 is the max quanta. And no, it would still deal damage based on quanta. Maybe I should get rid of that thing saying it costs 1 per 10 quanta.

No, it's manin, I looked in the back of the book (again).
May I ask what book? A simple google search shows that Odins birds are named Hugin and Munin. I have some other books on Norse mythology referencing it as such. I don't want to sound like Im disrespecting your knowledge, I've just seen it the other way every time.

I didn't comment on the card last time. I think it's interesting, but leads to some deadly fire-light combinations that I dont like the looks of.
