Spinner

DefectPowerRare
At the start of your turn, Channel 1 Glass.

After Energy refills each turn, you Channel one Glass per stack; the upgraded card also Channels one the moment you play it.

  • Decay: a Glass orb hits every enemy for 4 at the end of your turn, then drops by 1, so one orb deals 4, 3, 2, 1, then nothing.
  • Evoke: deals double its current value to everyone.
  • Focus: raises the value.
  • Full slots: the new orb Evokes your leftmost orb to make room.
