Card Idea - Spell - "Activation/Rebirth/Awakening" https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=4178.msg41058#msg41058

The card is called Activation/Rebirth/Awakening



What it does: It activates a target creature's skill for your use.
This means when you play it on a creature their skill becomes activated. If the skill is a 'targeting skill', like paradox, it will let you use that skill yourself.  Especially if it is an enemies creature, but you may use it on your own.

Potential uses: 
-You could target your opponents gravity pull creatures.
-Target his Otyugh to eat one of his own :D
-After using one of your own creatures skills, this card would then allow you to use it a second time!
-Many more...

This card should probably have a medium level casting cost, it won't be a game changing card, but it would be useful in many situations and sounds like a lot of fun.

I tried my hand at creating the card itself, keep in mind this is the first time I have used photoshop :)

Edit: Also, A possible idea is that it only activates the creature for your use, rather than activating the skill itself.  If you do not have the required casting cost for the that skill then the card is wasted.

This is actually a really intruiging card. It may cost a little too much, but this is genuinely a great card idea. :D Great job.

So you basically activate the ability and then pick whom it goes to, (there oty eating one of there creatures) Seems like the coding would be confusing on this one.

But I do like the idea

Thanks!

Yes, I had a feeling this might be a difficult card to implement.  If possible, I hope that alone wouldn't determine whether the card is suitable.

The cost could definitely be altered, as well as the colour/name.  I was even thinking of Darkness/Awakening with a more sinister image or even Entropy/Activation with a vibrant image.

Whoever's side the Firefly Queen belongs to, I guess. It wouldn't make any sense for the Fly to always appear on your side.

Yeah, I would think the owner of the card should get the fly.  Just don't use it on FFQ unless you need some bate for your Oty!
