Seance

NecrobinderSkillRare
Ethereal.
Transform a card in your Draw Pile into Soul.

You look through your draw pile, choose one card, and it becomes a Soul for the rest of this combat: a 0-cost Skill that draws 2 and exhausts. The change is combat-only; your deck is untouched afterward. Seance itself is Ethereal, so it exhausts if you end the turn holding it. The upgrade drops the cost from 1 to 0.
