A new Kamigawa card is ready!
I picked a simple spell to serve as a guide for the next ones.
Evermind now has the corrected text for Splice Onto Arcane.
I'd like to know which Kamigawa cards you think would be interesting to adapt.
A new Magic card adapted for D&D. The thematic idea was to evoke Kamigawa with an early 2000s Japanese-inspired design style that felt both old and new at the same time.
The spell's mechanics are more inspired by both the name and the card art, with the exception of Splice Onto Arcane, which is simply a direct adaptation of the card's mechanics.
I got a little carried away and made both "page" versions and one that looked like a rule card for the spell.
As in my previous posts, I included both a "stylized" version of the art and one with its original colors in case anyone prefers that.
An adaptation seeking to reproduce an effect similar to the original card, while still following the old 2000s technology theme inspired by Mirrodin.
I recently made a post containing the spell Surgical Extraction, in which a naming error was pointed out. This has now been corrected, and there has also been a slight increase in the spell's power. Thank you to everyone who pointed out the errors and suggested improvements.
After resolving the issue with the previous spell, I decided to finish another Magic card, to release something beyond just an errata. Therefore, this post contains the spell Surgical Extraction and the creature Massacre Wurm. Both have a black and white version and a color version, following the 2000s-style design.
I recently decided to transform some Magic cards into spells for D&D. Mainly because I wanted to create a campaign set in a Magic-based universe.
The first one to be relatively ready was Surgical Extraction, and I'm sharing both versions of it now. The only difference between the two is that one has black and white art and the other is in color.
The spell's effect itself is based more on the name and art than on the card's actual effect.
The main design idea was to create something that somewhat resembled Mirrodin. I ended up opting for a kind of old-school tech look, trying to imitate the design style of the early 2000s.
I recently wondered if the fact that Enel doesn't need to breathe is because of the Goro Goro no Mi or because he is a descendant of the Birkans?
Some things that could confirm that this ability comes from his fruit are that it is an electric fruit, or in other words, an "energy" fruit, which could mean that as long as Enel has energy, whether from natural sources like food, or from artificial sources like a battery, for example, he wouldn't need other things to stay alive, such as breathing or consuming water and food in the case of an artificial source.
There is also the possibility that this ability comes from Birkan blood, since this, along with the Skypieans and Shandians, are races that originated on the moon.
Knowing this fact, it's easy to conclude that the ability to not need to breathe comes from the Birkans, even more so if we consider the ruins found by Enel on the moon. That's where another question comes in: why did the original race from the moon descend to Earth?
You would readily say that they came in search of fertile lands, so they could plant and harvest food.
This led me to another conclusion, one that would corroborate the idea that not needing to breathe is something provided by the Goro Goro no Mi. The idea would be that at some point in the distant past, the moon had an atmosphere, thus allowing planting and cultivation, but for some unknown reason, it began to lose this atmosphere, forcing the people who lived there to descend to Earth, leaving behind only the ruins of their civilization along with the automatons, these responsible for protecting their homeland, perhaps with the hope that one day their descendants could discover a way to make it possible to live on the moon again.
Of course, it's all just theory, but I would like to know your opinion on this.
