	Cards of this deck are never found fully assembled, as the deck has the ability to scatter itself under certain circumstances. Most who come across cards find them singly. Individual cards are no more or less durable than mundane cards; however, should a card be seriously damaged, it turns to dust and a new copy forms at some other random location in the world. Note that, since the new copy is not technically the same object as the damaged card, no one has ever handled the new card, which prevents divination spells that require such handling from locating it.

	Individual cards make their presence known when combat begins. Whenever an initiative check is made, the GM randomly selects one of the cards possessed by the participants in the combat. This card then exerts an influence on the battle. A spectral icon representing the card appears on the ground in a random square adjacent to the character who owns the selected card. Anyone standing in the square containing the icon gains the influence effect listed for that card, so long as they remain in the same square as the icon. If the character moves out of the square (or the icon moves out from under the character) the influence effect ends immediately.		Individual cards make their presence known when combat begins. Whenever an initiative check is made, the GM randomly selects one of the cards possessed by the participants in the combat. This card then exerts an '''influence''' on the battle.

	Any spell-like abilities granted by cards function with a caster level equal to your level. When an influence that grants a spell-like ability leaves a character, the character can no longer use the spell-like ability, but any instances of the spell cast while the character was under the influence remain running as per their normal duration. (In contrast, characters under an influence that gives them an ability "as if" under the effects of a spell lose that ability immediately when the influence leaves them.)

You understand all of its abilities (including command words, if any) and weaknesses. You know when, how and by whom it was made and the origin of all of its materials. If the item is a puzzle or lock, you know how to solve or open it. You learn the names and faces of any who have touched the item in the past.

You need not be a party in the contract to seal it in this way, but you may be. Violators are hit with a ''[[pfsrd-spell:b/bestow-curse\|bestow curse]]'' with no saving throw and which cannot be removed by ''[[pfsrd-spell:b/break-enchantment\|break enchantment]]'' or ''[[pfsrd-spell:r/remove-curse\|remove curse]]''.

	'''Major Effect''' (Good)		'''Major Effect''' (Good) You gain the ability to alter reality around you, as a painter might paint a canvas. Once per day, you may spend five minutes making a Craft (Painting) skill check to change your environment. The DC of this check depends on how drastic the changes are compared to what is already there. Minor tweaks (changing colors of tapestries, adding decorative foliage, opening a locked door, etc) are DC 15. Significant changes (adding an oasis to the desert, altering the weather, making a sealed door open) are DC 20. Major changes (turning a forest into a fiery wasteland or vise versa, turning night into day, making a room full of advanced traps totally safe) are DC 25. Impossible changes (altering the positions of the stars, moving mountains) are DC 30. This supernatural ability cannot alter, add or remove sentient creatures and altering portions of the environment which are magical increase the DC by 10. Any changes you make last a number of hours equal to your character level, after which the environment returns to its original state.
