Tarot

Tarot is the occult skill of inscribing magical cards with various inks in order to create a powerful image. Each of the major arcana of the Tarot deck is represented here. To use the skill, one must first find some blank tarot cards. Then, you may inscribe the cards with various images, each unique image empowers the card's wielder with different types of magic. Inscribing takes intense concentration and one cannot do much else while focusing on the task.

The Tarot skill is available to members of the Jester and Occultist classes.

Jesters also have the skills of Pranks and Puppetry, while Occultists also have the skills of Occultism and Domination.
