Quintessence source:

Magickal style : All of my spheres have a thematic focus derived from Thaddeus Paradigm. Correspondence is Cups, Forces is Wands, Matter is disks, and Prime is Lamps. Time, being the domain of all other spheres, uses the entire Tarot. For the spheres I currently have no dots in, the associations are Entropy: Disks, Life: Wands, Mind: Swords, Spirit: Lamps. I have taken these thematic elements of my Paradigm and come up with the practical foci I gave above. For my most recent acquisition (Correspondence), it is technological (or at least scientific), as will future purchases.

Additional Notes about the Shadow Trumps:

* 25 major arcana

* Can be imprinted to a person (and place?), used for communication and scrying.

* No transportation function, presently.

* Imprinted cards can still show up in divinations, as either the imprinted image, or as the unimprinted image

* It costs a point of Quint to disconnect a card from a person

* The cards must spend one day per week in the box

* People connecting to me are at -2 difficulty (arete roll) if they have correspondence*

People connecting to me are at +3 difficulty if they do not

* I am at -1 difficulty to connect to others

Notes on Shadow Trumps, the 'Ghost' or 'Shadow' card:

* Solid black card roughly equivalent to "Reply Hazy, Ask again later".

* Bears no number. It is labeled with a lemniscate instead.

Notes on Shadow Trumps, Minor Arcana:

* 5 suits: Wands (Fire), Cups (Water), Discs (Earth), Swords (Air), and Lamps (Quintessence or Spirit)

* 5 court cards (King, Queen, Sage, Knight, Page), and Ace

* numbered cards 2-9

* The minor cards have been known to alter their images to emphasize a particular reading, especially when a sign or portent is especially strong, but this is not predictable.
