A deck of powerful magical cards painted in the ichor of demons. They may have any number of helpful or dangerous effects when drawn.

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.

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.
