HoC Magic

In the HoC (House of Cards) series, magic has flare! 

The illustrations below is what magic generally
looks like coming out of your hands or M.U.F. as a magick citizen (up to rank 9).

You will have the misty hue of your suit and star sparkles (to symbolize you are a magick).

If you are a Heart:

Double Heart




Heart/Diamond



Heart/Club


Heart/Spade




If you are a Diamond:

    Double Diamond


 Diamond/Heart


Diamond/Club



  Diamond/Spade


If you are a Club:

Double Club



Club/Heart

Club/Diamond


Club/Spade



If you are a Spade:

Double Spade



Spade/Heart


Spade/Diamond



Spade/Club



However, if you bump up in rank (passed a 9) sometimes your magic will gather more flare.


Realm Keepers (Rank 10)


Will have blue & purplish hue to their mist. Along with white glowing regular stars, they will have white crescent moons.


Jokers (Rank JK)

Remain the same as their peers to blend in. They are spies after all!


Wild Cards (Rank WC)



 


Can use ANY of the main suits magic! (Hence 'wild card')


Jacks & Jacquelins (Rank J)

Actually stay the same as Rank 9 and lower. Why? Protection purposes. The sun symbol won't come out until they are crowned as the reining king/queen.


Kings & Queens (Rank K & Q)


Will have their normal suit color and symbols BUT they will have stars, crescent moons, and suns to their mix of symbols. The example here is of the royal Heart magic.


If someone's magic is different than this, it could mean many things. Perhaps they studied abroad, not every country has the same type of magic. There's also the possibility someone's been cursed/hexed.

But there you have it, the American card magic for all of you who were curious.

HoC Quiz - What suit do you belong to?

HoC Suit Quiz


Many want to know to which of the 4 card suits would they belong? Or if they would be a cross-suit (a blend of one or more suits)?

Here are what each suit's talents are:

 Hearts: known for their love, friendship, healing ability, and leadership.

 Diamonds: known for making cash and keeping it, keen appraisal (can tell you how much something's worth or if it's real), musical ability, and gracefulness.

 Clubs: known for their loyalty, battle prowess, weapon knowledge, and strategy.

 Spades: known for gaining the trust of magical plants and animals, lure of flora & fauna, and what each can do, they can also get the plants or animals to share their secrets (if given enough time).

*Now, add up how many of each suit you have. *


-If 1 suit far outweighs the rest, you're a double of that suit. (You have the double's special ability for that suit.)

-If you have 2 that are close or even, you're a cross-suit! (Which means you get to dabble in both suits.)



(Edit) 11/30/17

P.S. There will be more on this when I release more on what each suit is known for.
