XYTWO

Another one of the other "mark" weapons. It has the ranged passive.
If this doesn't make sense to you, think of it this way: the light shines through the glass and focuses on the enemy, burning them.

Yes. I like it.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. Speak the truth even when your voice falters.

CURATOR COMMENT
-You need to provide a specific link to the page of the card art you used if it's from a website. Putting down 'sxc.hu' is too generic and vague for Curators and other members to figure out where you got your card art from.



Brilliant idea. Simple, but it ultimately makes sense. I don't know if Elements would carry around a Looking Glass, but the fact that you manage to make it similar to Gavel (except with :fire and :light marks) is truly fantastic. :D Well done!

I don't agree with Kuroaitou. The only thing good about this card is the conceptual idea of combining  :fire and  :light with a magnifying lens which does not suit a weapon to be in game. The card does not bring any new good strategies to the game.
My real-life sucks. So i come online to compensate that.

Actually, I think it adds that extra kick into the Steam Machine decks; there are no weapons within the  :fire  :water  :light card sets which are not quanta exhaustive. Also, mono rush Light anyone? Mono Light is pretty slow as of now. Furthermore, why would you advocate poor Crusader's lack of a Light weapon pairing? :(

I did'nt tell that it would be a useless card at all, only that it is not something new or creative in terms of gameplay. The idea of a magnifying lens invokes a cool mechanic in mind but i felt this like a copy of gavel or long bow. Any card that is a simple copy of other card be useful in game.

Eg : If i make a card like this, can anyone argue it is useless. Although it is just a cheap rip-off of Eclipse, i can say that this card will strengthen  :fire and  :light combo by providing more hp to  :light creatures which works well with heal and makes  :fire less fragile. Just because you make a cross-breed version of a card already in game, does'nt mean it would be useless but it will be very boring and does not bring anything new to the game. I lack interest in such cards but others might not as it is a matter of personal opinion.






Anyway, Kuroaitou did'nt saw a mistake in the suggested card, very unusual of him. It says " Deal 1 extra if you have a ", it does not say damage.

Here, is a better stock art that i found while browsing which fits the concept better and looks like weapon art in elements.

I think you should reduce the damage to 1/3 and increase the bonus damage from mark to 2/4. Fits more the theme of a magnifier.

Good idea. I mean, how much damage is hitting someone with a magnifying glass really going to do? :P

Done, and thanks!

@Nik_V (not going to quote, quote pyramids are bleh): First, a few thoughts on your changed version of the card.
1: Short Lens just doesn't sound right. Yeah, this is me being a bit nitpicky, but still.
2: It doesn't look like weapon art to me. Mine doesn't either, but yours seems a bit too normal to me. It's like something you see in everyday life.
3: Thank you for pointing out that missing word.

Yes, it's a copy of Gavel and Longbow. But that doesn't mean it still can't work. Funny thing: a card that's almost EXACTLY like your "Morning Sun" is in the Armory. http://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php/topic,8807.0.html
