Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Card Mage.

Weapon and armor proficiency:card mages are proficient with thrown weapons and light armor.

Magical Deck: To most, a normal deck of Playing Cards, but this Deck has been magically infused with spells but only the owner of the deck can use them. Each card has a spell tied to it (spell lv equal to current lv halved and rounded up) and when the card hits (wall, enemy, ally, yourself,spell, etc.) the spell activates. You can't chose spells that would go against your alignment, religion, or any other trait you have. Whenever a card is pulled from the deck, it can be thrown/stabbing, looked at, or put back. Some of these actions takes up 1 action during combat when throwing/stabbing it takes 1 action , when looking at the card is a free action, putting it back is a free action. A deck is always shuffling (cards change faces not actually shuffling), so the deck can't be "rigged." A person does not make saving throws for the card or spell the card casts instead they rolls as if it was a regular dart (just with a 40ft range). Player should use a regular playing card deck and assign a spells to them.
