Story

arrow
There is a legend about a weapon that could bring an end with just one scratch. According to the legend, one time, in the eastern lands, there lived a young prince. Even though he lived the life of the rich, most times, he felt sad and alone. Since he was the youngest in the royal family, he was always mocked by his older siblings. Nevertheless, he always dreamed of becoming a king, but he was just the 4th in the line to become one, so this dream seemed too distant. When he turned 12th, he received many gifts. But the best one was not from his family. When the birthday party was over and he was about to sleep, he heard a silent knock on the door. But once he opened it, there was no one behind it. He was about to close the door and go back to bed when he looked down and saw a mysterious case. Inside, it was a beautiful katana. He was so happy with the gift that he couldn't wait for the morning and immediately rushed to his brothers to show off his new gift. But as soon as he told them about it, his brothers rushed to snatch the katana from him. He clashed with his brothers in defense of his gift, and due to the chaos, even their sister came in and stood up to divide the brothers. But in the course of the scuffle, all four of them inadvertently got injured with the blade of the katana. Although there were only minor scratches, all four children soon became seriously ill and eventually died. At the time, no one suspected that it was the blade of the katana that had caused this, but the truth soon emerged. One of the local soothsayers offered to look at the children's bodies and investigate. And when he saw the scratches, he knew something was off. And when he found out that a katana had been found near the children, he was immediately suspicious. Everyone then wondered where the katana had come from. So the investigation began. First, the blacksmith who made the katana was found, and then its buyer. And finally, it was discovered that the katana had been poisoned by a dangerous insect's venom and sent to the young prince on purpose. Since the old king and his wife couldn't have any more children, the evil plan was to poison the current heirs so the royal family would finally reach its end. Soon, the one who gifted the katana to the young prince was executed. He was buried alive, and his katana was thrown into the grave with him. Now, centuries later, the legend of the Venomous Katana still circulates. What is more, an old skeleton with a katana next to it was recently found during an excavation. Could this be the same katana? The time will show.

Terms explained

arrow

Interactive - Card special powers are controlled by the Spellfire app. Scan QR code to see the powers. Interactive cards lose their interactivity when switched sides.

Sword - Certain magical items are designated as being a sword in the cards' special power box. Such magical items gain bonuses based on other cards' special powers, such as a champion who gets additional levels when using a sword. Magical items that are swords are also weapons.

Venomous - The opposing player draws and discards a card. If the number is Odd, the champion is poisoned and loses half of his base level rounded down. Lasts until the end of turn. The effect does not accumulate. That means if a second venomous card is placed, it does not halve the levels even more, and the player doesn't need to draw and discard a card for the second 'venomous' card.

Weapon - Certain magical items are designated as being a weapon in either the card's special powers or in the blueline corrections. Such magical items gain additional bonuses based on other cards' special powers, such as a champion who gains additional levels when using a weapon.
