i see.. well im on Windows 7 .. i have ubuntu that comes with GIMP on the other half of my laptop. ill take a look at the pixlr.com thanks

pixlr isn't photoshopping...all you have to do is make the card leave a couple spaces, save it, bring it up in pixlr, copy the and  symbols directly from here, save it again.

guess i didnt think of that.. ill try it.

i am failing hard here.. i loaded the image.. now how exactly do i copy and paste the symbol from here.. i clicked copy image.. i try edit paste.. it doesnt show up anywhere.. i tried making an selected area.. still did not work.
figured it out.

All edited and fixed i hope.. so.. now that ive gone thru all that.. anyone like it? or is it game usable?

i like it...the upped version is definitely OP tho. imagine 6 of them in a speed rainbow. you can get almost 5 of them off a single suppernova, so they would come out quickly. 8 damage per talisman every turn is a lot for such a cheap card for rainbows. how about say the cost must be paid with or ? that would make it balanced i think. also the unupped version is UP unless youre playing a rainbow...if you make my suggested change i'd say lower its price by  one

umm well the cost is paid with either  to gain the life or they can pay    to do the damage.
the damage can be reflected. it is a one or the other choice. you don't get both.
If possible maybe make the card a dual cost to play. Duel cards don't exist in this game as of yet? I could change it to 3 3 to play the card.

[bored_ninja777]

this is the best i could do at the moment.. the card editor doesnt really allow extra space for another 3.. so this would mean 3 dark + 3 light to play.

idk i like the idea of dual cards but idk if its possible.

Zanz has confirmed that dual summoning costs would require a code rework.

ok thanks i just made the image to show what i was talking about if it was possible.. otherwise it stays as is as an other artifact. if it is still overpowered to pay 6 and then once a turn pay for 1 ability or the other than maybe i can raise the cost to 3 to gain life and 3 to do the damage.

Wow we really did have similar ideas.
One thing though: I'm pretty sure the game as of now doesn't have a way that let's you choose between 2 different abilities to activate.
When you click the card to activate the ability, how does it decide which ability you are using?

[miniwally]

Just an idea which would make it less powerful which may be a good thing but why not have a counter, first time used it uses 1 and heals you 8 next it uses 1 and damages enemy 8 means it'd require an opposite duo to work effectively and easier to code.

thanks for looking at it Eva.

as far as the ability, i thought if the user clicked the card it would just choose which target.. the opponent or the user. dependent on which one is clicked that ability is triggered. i dont think that would be a problem to code since many cards are similar to this target feature. When you do say thunderbolt, u choose creature or opponent. Same thing but instead its youself or the opponent. they choose the opponent it will check for 1  to pay for it. if they choose themselves it will check for 1  .

And the different effect depending on target is there too: the light heal will damage death or darkness creatures.
Also nice concept, and I like the balance of making it a neutral (other) card.

Maybe you could make it have one of three effects, depending on your quantum pools (to reflect the notion of balance between yin and yang)

1. Generate 1 and 1 when you have the same size  and  pools
2. Heal yourself for one amount when you have more 
3. Damage the enemy for an amount when you have more 

That way you would have to play cards costing  and  in order to tip the balance from one to the other, and if you find balance, this will grant you power (but using that power will unbalance again). My only worry is card space and description size.

dont really wanna change the card effect but if people think your idea works then maybe ill change it.
