Herazy's Deck
Wondrous Item Magical, Random Legendary
A pack of cards. The back of the cards are embroidered with golden foil and embossed with etchings in the shape of a Mobius strip on the back. To activate the deck, pick it up. When the deck activates, the etchings begin to glow and pulse with golden light. As time passes, the pulses become closer together. When the pulses have no time left between them, the deck vanishes. Once the deck has been activated, any being may draw one card. Herazy's deck prevents any being from drawing more than one card per activation of the deck. 1d20+1d6-1
No cards are transferrable by any means.
Herazy and Reop together researched how magic and randomness interconnected. Herazy's research resulted in this deck, while Reop made Camaron's Deck.
