Properties

Tokka Cards have not yet been well studied.

Use

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

Notes

You can SHUFFLE, CUT, and DEAL this Tokka deck. You can even CUT it at other players. DEAL expects a number between 3 and 6. For example: DEAL DECK 4. You can also use many other verbs on this deck, like PUSH, TOUCH, TURN, and more!

You cautiously spread the deck out before you, sliding the cards around and thoroughly mixing them before carefully collecting them into a pile again. Roundtime: 5 sec.

To date two sets of Tokka Cards have been sold at the Festival of the Gods (in prime) and at least one in TF. They will soon be available for normal purchase.

You slide a card off the top of the deck and place it at the bottom.
The deck becomes warm under your touch, then grows cool again.
You are struck with the strange, but definite, feeling that the cards in the deck have shifted slightly.

You recognize the Tokka deck as a divination tool of the Moon Mages.
Flipping through the cards, you scan the Portents first. The brushwork is somewhat bright, while the lines forming the images are plainly drawn.
Next, you peruse the Avatars. The brushwork is of average clarity, while the lines forming the images are plainly drawn.
Lastly, you browse the Taisialaen. The brushwork is of average clarity, while the lines forming the images are plainly drawn.
Looking at the condition of the cards themselves, you see that they are pristine and have not yet been used. When you tap down the cards in your palm, the edges are slightly out of alignment.

Tokka is the name of the deck of cards that Moon Mages, primarily the members of the 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.
