baffles arcane flashcards

after the eccentric sorcerer baffle got his hands on the deck of many more things he studied it for an age and created hid own personal version that he could use on a regular basis. his creation takes the appearance of a pack of white rectangles of cardboard cards with poorly drawn imitations of the artwork shown on the deck of many more things all bound together by a metal ring

when you are attuned to the deck you can take a magic action to draw a number of cards equal to your spellcasting ability modifier and keep one of the ones you draw, after the action the rest of the unclaimed cards go back to the deck and after that you can choose to use the card immediately or hold onto it to use later as a bonus action on subsequent turns. if you draw a card that casts a spell the spell is cast at a level equal to half your highest spell slot level rounded down, if you don't have a high enough spell slot to cast a spell you lose the card and get to draw a new one, you draw one card and use the new card, if the new card is a spell card you cant use you continue to discard and draw until you're capable of using the card. additionally you yourself don't need to take the effect of the card instead imparting the effect onto a creature within 60 feet of you. any card you use is expended and sent back to the deck if you are holding a card and you roll it again you reroll

if you or your DM owns one you may use a physical deck of many more things if not you can roll on the table provided
