Mystic Fortune

Description

You can read the fortune of any player. This grants a random permanent buff for 20 minutes, and they may not have their fortune read again during that time.

How to Get

To obtain this inherent power, purchase Super Booster II: Magic. Please note that Players who have purchased the Architect Edition retail box set will have received a free code good for one Super Booster pack. Players who do not have the Magic Booster applied can receive the buff.

When cast, the target is given a confirmation prompt to accept or decline their fortune.

Power Summary

Mystic Fortune grants a random "Fortune" buff to your target. Like Vengeance, it cannot be stacked multiple times. The buffs granted by Mystic Fortune are based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot, though not all of the Major Arcana are represented.
