It destroys up to 3 pillars in target stack and creates the same amount of quantum pillars for the player whose stack was targeted. When there are no permanent slots available, it does nothing (not even destroys pillars).
I just thought that OTHER should also have a nymph. Ok, I guess it would also need a similar alchemy card then, but I think the nymph seems more interesting to discuss.

It can work as a way of pillar denial similar to trident or earthquakes. It may be easier to use than a trident due to random cost and the fact it is a creature, but it only reduces opponents quantum production to 1/4 on average, and even less if he is not mono.

On the other hand you can use it to play a mono deck, then change some of your pillars into quantum pillars to be able to use abilities that cost different quanta.
Eg. play mono :time with a :time mark, then use this nymph's ability to make some :aether quanta for anubis or :gravity for scarabs.
Play mono :water with a :water mark, then create some quantum pillars to use toadfishes and mind flayers abilities.
Play mono :gravity, use this nymph to fill your opponents quanta pool, then start playing black holes, or even better if you have a gravity nymph too.

I don't really know what attack and hp values would be good for a nymph... I guess it needs some survivability, even without quint, to be useful in mono decks, but it should not be too powerful so that if used in rainbow decks for pillar denial it does not serve as a main source of damage. What do you think?

And the most important question... does an OTHER nymph make sense at all, or should there be no such nymph? ;)
May the force of the D4HK side be with U ^_^

It makes no sense. It's alchemy card would be just a cheaper and weaker version of EQ. Not too new imo.
