== Use ==
Like all prediction tools, before use the mage must know the {{com|ALIGN}} ability (learnable at 4th circle) and have made a successful observation. Furthermore, before the first use, the cards must be {{com|RUB}}bed to bond them to the user. Syntax is to {{com|ALIGN}} <skill/skill set>, the verb to predict with the cards is currently unknown.

[[Tokka]] is the name of the deck of cards that [[Moon Mage]]s, primarily the members of the [[:Category:Fortune's Path|Fortune's Path]] sect, use for [[Prediction]].

Several versions of Tokka cards have been presented by GMs, but none were ever finished and likely bear little resemblance to what the final product will be. There are still ruined Tokka decks in the game, which were a free give away as TKT ammo item (generic tokka cards can be removed from the deck one at a time). These decks contained 52 cards and have a few verbs, but are no longer available.

Below is a list of known cards.

==Known Cards==

*Joyous Mage: ''Affected [[Primary Magic skill]].''
*Moneylender: ''Affected [[Appraisal skill]].''
*Jester of the Court: ''Affected [[Musical Theory skill]].'' (presplit - Unsure now)
*Wounded Veteran: ''Affected [[First Aid skill]].''
*Artificer: ''Affected [[Mechanical Lore skill]].''
*Endless Ocean: ''Affected [[Swimming skill]].''
*Stellar Stairway: ''Affected [[Climbing skill]].''
*River of Aether: ''Affected [[Targeted Magic skill]].''
*The Nimble Dancer: ''Affected [[Evasion skill]].''
*Sulking Hunter: ''Affected [[Skinning skill]].''
*Thief of Hearts: ''Affected [[Disarm Traps skill]].''
*Runebinder: ''Affected [[Astrology skill]].''
*The Crossroads: ''A symbol for the gathering of Fortune's Path members.''

Please note the skill effected relates to the cantrip, and MAY not reflect the actual Tokka Cards.
