New idea, although mentioned in pre-smithy. Often I think of an idea before even thinking if it's any use in the game/where it would be used, so to help this card, here are my (very few, no doubt people can add!) ideas:
-can imagine casting nova, then changing it all into quanta of your mark! bam!
- having a duo deck where all pillars are one type and mark another. need a boost mid-game in quanta of mark? there you go.
- rainbow time decks with only quantum pillars....somehow always need a bit more 'time', eh voila!
- need to play that fractal/just fractaled a dragon and want to play them all, give me quanta of one type kinda scenario
- others? please say :)

If you're wondering why I chose 5 and 9 for my values, here's my rough art for previous version:

In the upped image there probably shouldn't be cyan squares at the top as well...

With this, you could turn rainbows into monos... Interesting. Supernova and a few of these would make a great fire rush deck for example.

I know, just like that for now to test the water, so to speak. only done a bit of changing to make first impression, if everyone likes it/adjustments made, I'll do some serious art  :)

I like it.


However, I think maybe it could take  :time to solve the cube.

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

To save card text, you can have the ability itself cost 5 | 9 :rainbow quanta, so that the ability itself says: "Generate 5 | 9 quanta of your mark"

I like this overall, and I also think there needs to be a counterpart that turns your mark quanta into random quanta.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

^ use this.

But in the correct form without the rainbow icon. This will add some control to the activation meaning it can only be used if you had 5 or 9 quanta.

i feel it should be 3 | 4 or 4|4 costwise.
reason- you can combo 6 or so of these to extremely increase the effects of drain life, fireball, etc.
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Indeed. You could essentially triple quanta production by using Quantum Pillars/Towers. Those numbers are insanely high. 10 Quantum Towers, and I'd be running off of 27 :darkness, :fire, or :water every turn. insanity, right? and 3 quanta to spare as well.

hmmm, makes sense. Guess I wanted to keep it as open as possible for all decks, this would make it need at least time quantum :s

To save card text, you can have the ability itself cost 5 | 9 :rainbow quanta, so that the ability itself says: "Generate 5 | 9 quanta of your mark"

I like this overall, and I also think there needs to be a counterpart that turns your mark quanta into random quanta. Discord sort of already does this effect....although perhaps the unupped could be "solve" and the upped version "restart" (i.e. turn 9 mark quanta into random quanta)?
^ use this.

But in the correct form without the rainbow icon. This will add some control to the activation meaning it can only be used if you had 5 or 9 quanta.
Ah yes, I see. Think my wording was just bad, as "turn 5 quanta into..." suggests you need 5 quanta in the first place....will try re-jiggle as obv not clear. Think OldTrees mentioned a good wording, using something like "absorbs 5 quanta, then gives you 5 quanta of your mark" kinda thing


In response to it being OP in terms of tripling quanta:
- first, it takes up a card in your deck (which could have be used for something else/better), and can obv be destroyed/stolen etc.
- it chooses the quanta at random, so the more of one quanta you have (eg. your mark quanta) then the more likely it chooses that quanta -> nothing actually happens, since it turns mark quanta into mark quanta....so hopefully eliminating misuse for the likes of drain life etc
