Overview
Decks are magical devices granted by Nemelex Xobeh which are used by eVoking them, similar to wands. This draws a random card from the deck to produce a certain effect. Each deck comes with 4-13 cards. Their power is governed by Invocations skill and piety, not Evocations.
Power level
Decks can be either plain, ornate or legendary. Ornate and legendary decks get bonuses to card power.
| Plain | Ornate | Legendary |

Composition of decks
Decks of destruction, summoning and escape are composed of 6 different types of card which are randomly placed throughout the deck. The player will only draw from the deck of punishment if they try to deal four on a deck with less than four cards remaining, or when suffering from Nemelex's wrath.
| Deck | Destruction | Escape | Summoning | Punishment |
