Elethay 2.0 added to Betas

The Elethay cards have been around for a while so all they needed was tweaking to put them into the 2.0 Earth magics.

In general we called all earth/physical world driven magics Witchcraft, because Witchcraft is the best known of those magics. This has caused some confusion and we wanted to clarify those issues in 2.0.

Witchcraft, Nightwitch (Coven), Elethay, Jikadell, Elementalism and Reaver are all stand alone magics. Only the Shrouds and Warlock are dependent on Witchcraft as a foundation. Obviously an experienced character can wind up with several of these.

Elethay now has an Anchor to represent the training and to give characters access to the Elethay cards. We made this a very inexpensive Anchor so it would be easily compatible with Classic cards.

This also meant a rewrite of the Universal Elethay cards as well. None of those cards now include the actual use of Elethay cards, but they qualify to learn them. We lowered the CP of the Elethay Acolyte so after buying the Elethay Anchor, it still costs 4 CP. The Elethay Priestess got four extra HP to compensate for having to add the Anchor. That also means the Classic cards are nicely compatible with 2.0.

The Elethay Extras sheet has the new Background and the Universals for this, plus it has the "ninth" card from the existing cards. It is a small start on another set, but with peoples submitted ideas and our own, there will eventually be another set.

As for the spells themselves, we tweaked them to fix some of the common complaints about the classic versions, but they stayed pretty much the same.

The old Elethay Guide is there as well. It has been touched up, but is not completely updated. No real sense in doing that until we get the cards finalized. It does give a good sense of playing an Elethay.

You can download and read the Elethay cards for yourself.
