NOTES:
"Take time to reflect upon your actions today"

"Look inward and let your mind settle. As a lake can only reflect when settled, so your mind must be stilled to tap its true potential."



Like flooding, this card absorbs quanta each turn and will self destruct if it cannot.

May need some work to get balanced properly. Any ideas, comments, etc. would be welcome.

For more information on the "Mirror" pseudoquanta type see: http://elementscommunity.org/forum/card-ideas-and-art/(pseudoquanta)-mirror-quanta-(hyroen)/

SERIES:

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

This is quite powerful, specially in monos. In one turn it is weaker than a SoSe (assuming your mark in :entropy), but it gets more powerfull quite quickly. Does it stack? If it does I'd say its OP. If it doesn't it is just strong.

I would like some form of stacking since this is generally preferable for permanents...

Can this be balanced by tweaking the quanta absorption per turn / card or will it have to stay non-stackable?

I think that it is fairly balanced as it is, since every single turn each one of these mirrors which you have drains 2 mirror quanta. That's a lot of quanta if you have, say, three of them; it will severely limit the cards that you can actually play with your mark quanta, due to the quanta drain.
