Tarot Magic

A man stands at a pair of doors sealed from the other side. He pulls out his deck of tarot cards and shuffles them before pulling a card off the top. The card starts to glow in his hand. He slips it between the doors and steps back. The card explodes, leaving the door in pieces.

A woman runs down the street being chased by a group of thugs. She pulls out her deck of tarot cards and quickly shuffles. She pulls the top card. The card starts to glow. She drops it on the ground. A moment later, as the thugs run over the card, the card explodes, taking the thugs out.

An adventuring party is in the middle of the forest surrounded by goblins. The Tarot Sorcerer pulls out the deck and shuffles it before pulling the top card. The card starts to glow before the sorcerer throws the card. A moment later it explodes, having taken out a goblin.

Each suite has 14 cards that are numbered from two to ten and lettered P, K, Q, K, A (Page, Knight, Queen, King, Ace).  The deck of Tarot Cards can be used as a spellcasting focus by the Sorcerer.
