Cards
Cards are game elements that are not items, but only as the possible effects of invoking deck granted by Nemelex Xobeh (or invoked against you by Nemelex's wrath). There are two aspects to the potency of a card's effect, called "power" and "power_level" in the source code.
Power
Power is used as a basis for determining the power of any spells cast by the card, and is computed as follows:
- Cards invoked by the player have a power of (9 × Invocations) + (1.5 × Piety) + (Piety (Invocations + 25) / 27)
- Cards invoked against you by divine wrath have a power of 18 × XL.
Power level
Many cards use the power level to determine what they do. By default, the power level of a card is zero. Cards have an independent (power in 900) and (power in 2700) chance to boost the power level by one each.

History
- Prior to 0.23, decks were evocable items with different tiers, and card power and power level depended on the quality of the deck.
- Prior to 0.19, there were many more decks, decks cound be found on the floor and card power scaled off Evocations with and without Nemelex.
