Constructs Spell in The Wild Cards | World Anvil

Constructs

A peculiar Tarot ability quite resembling the Elemental abilities connected to the four suits, as it is all about manipulating something that already exists. Both Summoned Blades and Barriers are imagination given form, but the ability to manipulate Constructs involves imagination taking control of a physical shape instead.   A Constructs user will link themselves to the objects they manipulate, sensing through them. If a user is manipulating a suit of armour and their sword is knocked out of their hand, they will know exactly where the sword has landed and be able to pick it up without even looking. They are limited to what the objects can do, however, so the sword would not be able to move by itself, and the armour cannot bend in unnatural ways.   The most common constructs used are suits of armour, and selfmade Earthen shapes mimicking that of a human. Since Earth and Construct manipulation are both aligned to the Staves Suit, it is extremely normal for a skilled Earth shaper to then easily use said shape in a fight.   Construct manipulation should not be confused with Plantlife manipulation, as that ability of the Cups Suit involves manipulating living things. Someone controlling a rose bush can use or enhance the plant's own vitality, whereas a construct has no life or ability to heal itself. It also is not connected to the Avatar ability, because an Avatar can be directly shaped and also is used for projecting Tarot abilities through.
