[Cards] Failed Purity Spear (Patreon)

It is forever in our nature to seek truth. To seek power. To seek understanding. We struggle tooth and nail to find perfection.

But it is also our nature to fail. We're doomed to fall short of the paths left for us by the strong and the wise. But we must always try, no matter our weaknesses. For while our efforts and skill are found lacking, we continue to attempt to usurp the power of gods and kings. In the end, our own tenacity may be the poison in our veins.

They call our magics a perversion: an insult to the beautiful, flowing art they spent millennia crafting. They choose to hoard it all for themselves. Without their guidance, we are free in our supposed degeneracy to discover, practice, fail, and succeed on our own. For we are more than what we are born as: we are what we are determined to become.

—Kaeril, first master of the Renewed Halls of Artifice
