Sniffing the card will tell you how many times you have rubbed it on your foul oppressor, while flinging it will begin the process of calling Death himself to gather the soul of your enemy to him. Be warned though that this process takes concentration and you may not do anything else while Death is on his way.
 
The Death tarot is not a card to be trifled with, bringing about a swift end to anyone who tries to
oppose it once flung. There is nought that can stop the figure of Death once summoned, although
some claim the dreamworld has some effect.
 
In order to fling Death at your opponent, you must first attune the Death card to their body and
soul. This is achieved by rubbing it upon your enemy seven times. Once it is fully attuned, simply
fling it at your opponent and wait for his arrival. You may not perform any actions during this
process.
 
If your opponent has had their life aura leeched, you will gain three charges each time you rub
your target, instead of one.
 
In order to see how many rubs you have accumulated, you can sniff a card of Death to see. Rubs will
last for multiple weeks at a time, and aren't attached to any one card. Do note however, a combat
arena will have a adverse effect on the Death card, and any rubs gained will not transfer between
it and Sapience. Neither will they last as long.

Tower
Syntax: FLING TOWER AT GROUND

leaving rubble strewn across the location, delaying anyone wishing to leave. Movement that requires you to dash in some manner will no longer be possible in or out of the room.


Wheel
Syntax: FLING WHEEL AT <target>
Description: When flung, the Wheel will hover in the air before your target and choose three afflictions from

them. After a period of time, the Wheel will bestow misfortune upon them, and the three afflictions originally chosen will be placed upon the victim.

Creator
Syntax: FLING CREATOR <landscape> AT GROUND
Description: The Creator tarot will shift the landscape within the room you stand in, and the adjacent locations

nearby, to a place of your choosing. This will last for a set time and affects everyone.

You can choose from the following landscapes:

  • The Dreamscape: Those caught within the Dreamscape are periodically attacked by sentient

nightmares. They will draw their target into sleep and then attack them from their dreams.

  • The Soulscape: The land of the dead will attract souls to those still within the world of the

living. They will chill the flesh of those they target.

  • The Demonscape: Hell itself is brought into reality, summoning forth demonic figures that will

attack and harm those that stand within.

  • The Voidscape: The alien void is rife with creatures that little have heard of or even seen. They

will instill the mind with madness, causing either hallucinations or berserking.

To end the sorcery early, anyone may attack the Creator tarot within the central room of the landscape. Once it has been struck five times, the card will shatter, destroying the newborn reality.


Adder
Syntax: FLING ADDER <venom> AT <target>
Description: ACTIVATE ADDER <target> 
       RIP CARD FROM BODY

The Adder will attach itself to your target once flung, giving them haemophilia, and then lie torpid in wait. After a few seconds, you may then ACTIVATE the Adder to attack your opponent balance free with the chosen venom you flung it with.

Your opponent may RIP the card from their body before the Adder is activated, however doing so will cause them to bleed heavily.

Description: The Justice tarot will bring the curse of justice upon your foe.


Star

a short cooldown upon afflicting your opponent with the curse before you may do so again.


Eclipse

Description: FLING ECLIPSE AT GROUND

When used on yourself, the Eclipse tarot grants the Eclipse defence, which masks every third Sun or Moon tarot affliction. If you are affected by peace then this function will become disabled until it is cured.

When thrown at the ground, a darkness will overcome the room, tripping all enemies after a delay.


Lust
Syntax: FLING LUST AT <target>
Description: REJECT <luster> 
       LUSTED

With the Lust tarot, you can create such a burning desire within your target that the Empress tarot will now summon them regardless of their consideration of you.

Those who have flung the Lust tarot at you will appear in your ALLIES, although they are not technically a real ally by any means.


Universe
Syntax: FLING UNIVERSE AT GROUND

       CLOSE MAP

Moon
Syntax: FLING MOON [affliction] AT <player>
Description: The Moon tarot will give your enemy one affliction associated with the mind. You may choose the

affliction it gives, if you so wish, otherwise a random affliction will be selected.

You can deliver one of the following afflictions with the Moon: Stupidity, confusion, recklessness, impatience, epilepsy, berserking, weariness, and anorexia.


Death
Syntax: RUB DEATH ON <player>
Description: FLING DEATH AT <player> 
       SNIFF DEATH

The Death tarot is not a card to be trifled with, bringing about a swift end to anyone who tries to oppose it once flung. There is nought that can stop the figure of Death once summoned, although some claim the dreamworld has some effect.

In order to fling Death at your opponent, you must first attune the Death card to their body and soul. This is achieved by rubbing it upon your enemy seven times. Once it is fully attuned, simply fling it at your opponent and wait for his arrival. You may not perform any actions during this process.

If your opponent has had their life aura leeched, you will gain three charges each time you rub your target, instead of one.

In order to see how many rubs you have accumulated, you can sniff a card of Death to see. Rubs will last for multiple weeks at a time, and aren't attached to any one card. Do note however, a combat arena will have a adverse effect on the Death card, and any rubs gained will not transfer between it and Sapience. Neither will they last as long.


Imprint
Syntax: OUTC BLANK AS <type>
Description: OUTD BLANK AS <type>

So powerful is your skill in Tarot, you are able to pull your cards from your cache or deck, instantly charged and imprinted them with the style of your choice. Be warned, when the charge fades, so will the imprint.
