Trump Artistry as Everway Magic

I'm pretty sure I wrote this up for my Everway campaign set in Eric's new universe, and then it never got used. However, there's a tiny chance I just found this write-up somewhere. It doesn't seem to be at Amberway, and I'm sure my wife didn't design it, so it's probably mine. Either way, it's clearly derived from Trump Artistry in the Amber DRPG, converted to the magic system of the Everway RPG. Without those two games, this would not exist.

Trump Artistry as Everway Magic
Summary: Without any score in this form of Magic, you cannot initiate, block or identify a trump contact. Even at level 1 you are a weak beginner. Water is the required Element for this magic, but some aggressive functions use your Fire or Air to better balance the power. You cannot make Trumps until level 5, the first 4 levels are just varying degrees of trump use, trump scrying, etc. Advanced Trump is the equivalent of Level 7+, so the cost is roughly comparable to Amber terms in regards to portion of character creation budget needed to achieve Advanced Trump.

Level 4: You can identify the Trump quality in artwork by touch. You can sense when you are being called, and even identify who is calling you before accepting, provided you have thier card on your person.

Level 5: You can identify the Trump quality in artwork by touch. You can sense when you are being called, and even identify who is calling you before accepting, provided you have their card on your person. You can only block calls if the caller has an equal or

Very frustrating. As you can see above (and below) my file has errors / lines that just drift off into incompleteness. I may be able to restore it later from the excel version on my wife's PC (I'm using my Mac right now). Until I do so, we have no totally functional version. I'll leave this up for now, but until I get a chance to go fix it, the higher levels are incomplete, so it's not terribly useful unless you've got a big supply of elbow grease.

I'll try to remember to repair this from the file on my wife's computer. As it stands, incomplete and hard to use, it's much like my old Amber website. Grr.
