Cartomancer (5.5e)

General Feat (Prerequisite: Level 4+)

You gain the following benefits.

Ability Score Increase. Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1, to a maximum of 20.

Spellcasting Focus. You gain proficiency with Playing Cards, and you can use Playing Cards as a Spellcasting Focus for your spells.

Minor Tricks. You learn the Prestidigitation cantrip, and can use it to create illusions that duplicate the effects of small sleight-of-hand magic and card tricks. When you cast Prestidigitation while holding Playing Cards, you can conceal the verbal and somatic components of the spell as ordinary conversation, hand gestures and card handling.

Hidden Ace. When you finish a Long Rest, you can choose one spell from your class’s spell list and imbue it into a playing card. The spell must have a casting time of 1 Action and be of a level for which you have spell slots, and you must have casted the spell before (including by way of a magic item such as a Spell Scroll). If the spell is of a higher level than you can normally cast, make an Intelligence (Arcana) check (DC 10 plus the spell’s level). On a successful check, you imbue the spell into the card. On a failed check, the attempt fails, and you must finish a Long Rest before you can use this feature again. While a card is imbued with a spell, you can use a Magic action to flourish the card and cast the spell by expending a spell slot you have of the appropriate level, using the spellcasting ability of the class that has the spell on its spell list. The card loses its magic when you cast the spell imbued within or finish a Long Rest.
