NOTES:
Created for Community Challenge: Duality's Legacy Rd 3 (http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,26964.0.html).
Conversion happens at end of turn when all other quanta effects occur.  Reflash will consume all  :darkness, conversion will be 1 to 1 up to the cap.

(Reflash is taken from Navy (and I presume other as well) firefighting training, where a fire that is seemingly put out can, without warning, burst back into flames again.)

I don't see how this is particularly useful. If it converts quanta into another quanta and then to convert it back you have to pay, then why would I convert in the first place?

Fire Blitz mode. You'll want to save up. Imagine running this in a deck with Devourers. Having just one of these on the field is an extra 6 damage for each Fire Lance following. If you can manage to produce 20 :darkness each turn, then you're in the sweet life.

i like the idea behind it. guess it could make a role for pests in firelance/farenheit decks maybe? steal dark quanta then play this and convert?

bah, ninja'd

Frankly, this is actually an insanely powerful idea. It allows for a deck to contain up to 12 usable Bolt cards, running under a minimal card number duo. I can imagine a FG with a Mark of Fire to replace Decay one day... *shudder*

Fractal Pests, and 1 smolder is all you need to create a deck that destroys quanta and health in perfect harmony, as well as diversifies quanta and allows it to be manipulated based on the cards at hand. I commend you for it.
