Drake_XIV
NOTES:
Instinctive means that the effect will take place when it can and if it can be paid.

In the case of Parry, it is limited to any situation in which your creatures would take damage, physical or spell, or be afflicted with a condition like Poison, Freeze, Delay, or anything similar from an external source.  When it does, Parry will be automatically played from your hand and negates the effect if you have the quanta.

Parry can be cast on your turn to pre-empt any effects.

I like this better than the rest of your instinctive series. Not sure if :rainbow is a good idea though. Also, I was thinking :air instead of :gravity when I first clicked on this. This reminds me a lot of this:

I agree with furballdn on the thematics. Gravity works as evasion by pulling something from one direction to another, but that generally means that something else takes the hit instead.

Outright blocking seems to fit :earth better (unyielding / immovable shielding) , or maybe :light (divine intervention). Or you could conceive it as erasing the event from ever happening which would fit :time better.

Alternatively if the effect redirects to this spell's caster, that would fit :gravity (redirection) or :light (honorable sacrifice / intervention) pretty well, while dodging fits :air the best.
Swinging the attack back upon its source would fit :gravity pretty well too (e.g. a slingshot like effect)... but that would warrant a higher cost I think

Another idea would be to give the ally temporary invulnerability, which would fit :aether or :light .

lastly, you could have it absorb to quanta. The element :entropy has a precedent there, but :water or :darkness could be seen to fit as well.

... That's what I get from the elemental thematics at least.

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is

The idea I had when making this card was that you, the elemental, would redirect it your way and Block it.  i guess this would fit better for :air, but I did have another idea for an Instinctive :air.
