What Are Power Cards?
Your Power cards represent supernatural abilities beyond your bond with your Netghost—additional sources of magic and might that make your character truly unique. These might be powers born from your soul link, techniques you've trained in, mystical objects you wield, or gifts from mysterious patrons.
Power cards belong to the Ghost Aspect, representing the supernatural and the extraordinary. Power cards are an optional choice for one of your four elective cards in your starting deck.
The Four Power Types
🔗 Type: SOUL LINK POWER
Bond-Born Ability • Two Become Stronger • Connection Manifested • Human Potential Unlocked • Tamer Magic • What We Create Together
What It Represents
Something changed when you bonded with your Netghost. The soul link between you didn't just connect you—it awakened something in you that was never there before.
Example Tags
- Main Tag: "Can temporarily phase through solid matter like my ghost-type Netghost"
- Positive Tags: "Perfect infiltration ability—walk through walls and locked doors" / "Feel my Netghost's presence surge when I use it"
- Negative Tags: "Extremely draining—can only maintain it for seconds"
🥋 Type: ACQUIRED ARTS
Developed Discipline • Potential Into Power • Trained Supernatural • Technique Over Talent • Your Own Path • Made Not Born
What It Represents
You weren't born with this power. You built it. Through study, through practice, through trial and error and painful failure, you developed abilities that others would call magic.

- Main Tag: "Trained in the Flowing Current martial art—chi manipulation through movement"
- Positive Tags: "Can channel energy to enhance strength and speed" / "Read opponents' movements by sensing their chi flow"
- Negative Tags: "Requires constant maintenance—miss training and I lose edge"
🗡️ Type: MYSTICAL IMPLEMENTS
Magic Item • Found Power • Wielder Not Owner • The Thing That Chose You • Artifact Bearer • Power With a Price
What It Represents
You found something. Or maybe it found you. Either way, you now possess an object with genuine supernatural properties.
Example Tags
- Main Tag: "The Whistling Blade—a katana that cuts through digital matter"
- Positive Tags: "Can slice through data structures and firewalls like physical barriers" / "Hums when supernatural threats are near"
- Negative Tags: "Draws power from my life force—every cut costs me"
🌟 Type: BLESSINGS
Granted Power • Patron's Gift • Partial Bond • Touched by Mystery • Favor of the Strange • Chosen but Not Linked
What It Represents
Something out there likes you. A mystical creature, a presence from the Sea of Data, an entity that exists somewhere between myth and reality—it looked at you and decided to share its power.
Example Tags
- Main Tag: "Blessed by the Archive Keeper—guardian spirit of lost data"
- Positive Tags: "Can recover deleted or corrupted information others can't access" / "Digital structures recognize and open for me"
- Negative Tags: "Don't know what the Archive Keeper wants from me in return"
