Card Fortunes

Fortune reading is a ritual that allows a gifted individual to briefly connect a person with one of the fundamental forces of reality known as the Concepts of Ignisar. By acting as a conduit for The Breath, the energy that flows through all life, a diviner can channel the influence of a specific Concept, granting a temporary boon to the recipient.

This practice is often performed using special decks of cards. Each card in a deck represents a different Concept, which can range from cosmic forces to abstract virtues. Examples include The Star (defiant hope), The Key (revelation and possibility), The Flames (dominion), The Sun (expected achievement), or even unique interpretations like The Jester, a card imagined by a young Fyldric to represent whimsy and happiness.

A fortune-reading grants the recipient a one-time use special action that can be activated before the end of their next long rest.

The abilities listed below originate from the "Deck of Many Things" 5e sourcebook with minor adjustments.
