Hi and welcome to my new series called: Mixing D&D with the Black Clover Universe

In this series I will be taking elements, mechanics, and other random things that I like from D&D and figure out how these things could work/be implemented into the Black Clover world. With that being said please add on your own thoughts and ideas to this topic because I want more stuff to think about. Also do not be afraid to suggest a D&D concept to me because it’s all valid here. With that being said let’s get started!

The topic: Classes - The Bard

“Words and music are not just vibrations of air, but vocalizations with power all their own....They say that the multiverse was spoken into existence, that the words of the gods gave it shape, and that echoes of these primordial Words of Creation still resound throughout the cosmos.” - D&D Players Handbook

Section 1: What is a bard?

Typically, we think of bards as magical musicians, but that’s only a narrow wedge of what a bard can be. Bards are experts, performers, and craftsmen, worldly travelers who can win the day with a smile and a careful selection of words where bladed steel cannot. Their spells lean toward charms and illusions rather than blatantly destructive spells. With a wide-range of knowledge in many subjects and a natural aptitude that lets them do almost anything well, Bards become masters of the talents they set their minds to perfecting, from musical performance to esoteric knowledge.

However, not every minstrel singing in a tavern or jester cavorting in a royal court is a bard. Discovering the magic hidden in music requires hard study and some measure of natural talent that most troubadours and jongleurs lack. It can be hard to spot the difference between these performers and true bards, though. A bard's life is spent wandering across the land gathering lore, telling stories, and living on the gratitude of audiences, much like any other entertainer. But a depth of knowledge, a level of musical skill, and a touch of magic set bards apart from their fellows.

Only rarely do bards settle in one place for long, and their natural desire to travel—to find new tales to tell, new skills to learn, and new discoveries beyond the horizon—makes an adventuring career a natural calling. Every adventure is an opportunity to learn, practice a variety of skills, enter long-forgotten tombs, discover lost works of magic, decipher old tomes, travel to strange places, or encounter exotic creatures. Bards love to accompany heroes to witness their deeds firsthand. A bard who can tell an awe-inspiring story from personal experience earns renown among other bards. Indeed, after telling so many stories about heroes accomplishing mighty deeds, many bards take these themes to heart and assume heroic roles themselves.

Cassiea - OlchaS

The Bard class takes inspiration from the Norse skald, the warrior-poets and historians of Scandinavia; the Celtic bard, honored storytellers who reportedly followed heroes into battle to retell their deeds and also acted as neutral diplomats; and the southern European minstrel, musicians who entertained royalty.

In medieval Ireland, the bard was a highly respected profession of poets, storytellers and historians. Bards trained for many years, and held the important role of learning and retelling history in memorable poetic form, in a time before reading and writing were commonplace. By some reports, the bards held the highest social caste in society, and it was taboo to refuse them any request; one even asked for the king's brooch, who was forced to comply, though the brooch was later returned.

When it comes to Bards in Black Clover I would see them as pretty much the same thing. Historians who have a passion for stories and knowledge. They’re the documenters of all knowledge that isn’t related to spellcasting (think grimoires, making magic items, anything Julius would be interested in, etc.). This means that they are in charge of taking care of documenting things like the history of the kingdom, popular folktales and songs, news articles and basically anything else that one would consider to be a historical resource. They are the lore keepers of the kingdom and as such they often have a large presence all about the Clover Kingdom and can be found in all social class districts.

“Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.” - Oscar Wilde

Section 2: Magic and the Bard’s College

When it comes to black clover and it’s magic system, we all know that the only way to cast spells of significant power is with a grimoire. This will never change and I will not change it within the context of adding classes to the world. However, with that being said I still believe that while we can’t change the core foundation of how a spell is learned and stored, we can change what the caster uses their magic for. When we think about classes in this context all of a sudden we no longer see them as a different way of casting magic but instead we see it more like a school. How we use our magic in this world is dependent upon our education, like fine-tuning a weapon a class takes your sword and sharpens it m into a fine point.

To go along those lines I now must address The issue of bards only being able to cast their magic with music. In the world of black clover instead believe that bards can cast magic in any way they see fit, as long as they are using their magic in an artistic way. This could be painting, cooking, singing, dancing, or any other artistic medium. when we put the class under these definitions there are actually quite a few characters in the show that could be considered Bards. Some of these characters include but are not limited to:

Kahono

Kiato

Puli Angel

Rill Boismortier

Marx Francois

Charmy Pappitson

Vanessa Enoteca

Kirsche Vermillion

Catherine

Samantha Kravitz

Elvira Aguirre

Damnatio Kira

David Swallow

Langris Vaude

Dorothy Unsworth

Dominante Code

these are just a few of the characters that I believe are bards. something interesting to know about this list though is that a lot of the characters on this list or female, more specifically they’re witches. well I cannot give a solid explanation for why this is I can give my own theory on it.

Witches have an innate ability forecasting artistic spells. Based off of what we’ve seen from most of the witches in the show a lot of their magic is based around the idea of Creation or illusion magic. With Elvira and Samantha both having a form of illusion magic that manipulates sound and sight. I like to think of their magic being like the Minor Illusion spell in D&D. Vanessa having threat magic and using it to make dolls and sew clothes is another bard like trait that helps fit this theory.

When it comes to bards in this world and their magic we often find that their magic in it of itself is very showy and performance like. While any magic can be interesting to see some mages are just gifted or taught how to use their magic in a way that is particularly showy or dramatic. For those who are not gifted with artistic magic, and struggle to teach themselves how to use their magic in a creative way there has to be a place where they can go to learn how. This is why we have the Bard’s College.

“What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul” - Joseph Addison

Section 3: The Bard’s College

The way of the bard is a gregarious one. Collecting songs and stories and sharing them with each other in an effort to spread knowledge. It is for this reason that the bards college was made, it is a place for bards to come together and share their finding and store them somewhere they can be taught to future generations. It also serves as a place of learning, teaching its students various mediums of art along with how to properly preserve and document history and record the world around them. While they may not be magical scholars, they certainly are the clover kingdoms finest anthropologists and non-magical historians to date. The college is also home to the biggest Historical Archives in the Clover Kingdom. These archives are treated very much like the Vatican Library and will be explored in the next section.

Now in D&D there are 8 different colleges a bard can attend (including the new Unearthed Arcana college because it’s cool): The College of Creation, The College of Eloquence, The College of Glamour, The College of Lore, The Collage of Spirits (UA), The College of Swords, The College of Valor, and The College of Whispers. Rather than putting all 7 college into the Black Clover Universe I have decided to take these 8 colleges and merge them together to make one college with 8 different “degree plans” one can take. This section will provide you with a generalized overviewed of each of the eight schools. If you wish to look more in depth at either of the colleges from a more mechanical viewpoint rather than a lore point I have provided links to each of the different colleges above.

Bard of Creation

Bards believe the cosmos is a work of art - the creation of the first dragons and gods. That creative work included harmonies that continue to resound through existence today, a power known as the Song of Creation. The Bards of Creation draw on that primeval song through their art as they try to spread the Song of Creation and its meaning to all life on the planet. Usually Bards in this Path either have a love for their art or an already artistic magic such as voice or painting magic. This path is one of the most difficult routes for a non-artistic mage to take on, but it isn’t impossible.

While studying under this practice most mages learn how to take non-magical items and infuse them with Mana to serve as a arcane focus for their spells. Taking their magic and concentrating it into a fine point that is easier to control and direct (think like Noelle and her wand.) along with this the Bards of Creation also put a heavy focus on Creation spells, helping their casters hone and fine tune their spells to perfection. Most Bards of Creation go on to either work in the noble realm as scribes for the nobility or become performers in small towns, collecting villagers stories and immortalizing them through their craft.

Some Characters that I believe are Bards of Craation would be:

Rill Boismortier

Dominante Code

Telian Springbreeze - College of Creation

Bard of Eloquence

Bards of Eloquence master the art of oratory. Persuasion is regarded as a high art, and a well-reasoned, well-spoken argument often proves more persuasive than facts. These bards wield a blend of logic and theatrical wordplay, winning over skeptics and detractors with logical arguments and plucking at heartstrings to appeal to the emotions of audiences.

Bards of the Spoken word most people in this group tend to be Debaters. Always looking to be the winner of an argument these bards are almost unparalleled when it comes to knowing what to say and when. Spending their time studying vocabulary and reading they learn to retain lots of memory and also learn how to regurgitate it properly for any situation. Most bards of this type often go on to become politicians or work for the Magic Parliament as a lawmaker and negotiator. They also end up becoming Royal Advisors in order to help with lawmaking.

Some Characters that I believe are Bards of Eloquence are:

Damnatio Kira

Marx Francois

Valorant Rose - College of Eloquence

Bard of Glamour

The Bards of Glamour are regarded with a mixture of awe and fear. Their performances are the stuff of legend. These bards are so eloquent that a speech or dance that one of them performs can cause captors to release the bard unharmed and can lull a furious dragon into complacency. The same magic that allows them to quell beasts can also bend minds. Bards of this college instead use this power to gladden the downtrodden and undermine oppressors. The can also use their magic to inspire their allies and keep them going through the worst of times.

Often times bards in this school are taught how to use their magic to captivate people and serve as support characters in a battle. Being able to draw on their mana as a source to take their art and use it as a method of passing their spell buffs to their allies these bards often times are found as support roles in their communities. A majority of them finish their training and then apply to join the magic knights, they’re often highly sought after to serve as combat support and occasionally as healers (though this is less common) .

Some Characters that I believe are Bards of Glamour are:

Kirsche Vermillion

Charmy Pappitson

Antigone LaRue - College of Glamour

Bard of Lore

Bards of Lore know something about most things, collecting bits of knowledge from sources as diverse as scholarly tomes and peasant tales. Whether singing folk ballads in taverns or collecting the stories of people at the old folks home, these bards use their gifts to hold audiences spellbound. When the applause dies down, the audience members might find themselves questioning everything they held to be true, from their faith in the priesthood of the local temple to their loyalty to the king.

The loyalty of these bards lies in the pursuit of beauty and truth, not in fealty to a monarch or following the tenets of a deity. The Bards of Lore are the protectors of the archives, serving as it’s curators and guardians. As this is such, a majority of the Bards of Lore prefer to stay with the archives and study rather than leave out for adventure. However some bards do go out and these aren’t the ones that spend their time looking for stories to add to the vast collection of tales in the archive already.

Some characters that I believe to be Bards of Lore are:

Samantha Kravitz

Elvira Aguirre

Bonezo the Undead - College of Lore

Bard of Spirits

Stories of the past are powerful; they hold lessons of history, philosophy, and magic. Bards of Spirits seek the stories of those from beyond the material plane. Using seances and rituals, they reach out to hear their stories, but the bards have no control over what story they find. These bards are closely tied to otherworldly powers often being able to tap into the astral plane (dream dimension) and the threads of fate themselves. Some speak to the dead while others become oracles and masters of fate.

Bards in this school often end up training themselves to use their magic see into the other planes of reality. All bards in this college need to have a gift for the sight in order to join because their magic needs to be tied to the planes. Here they learn how to use their magic safely and correctly so as to avoid any dangers that come from speaking with things outside of the material plane. Most of these bards go on to become oracles or fates. Traveling the countryside easing the pain of lost souls and misguided individuals.

Some characters that I believe to be Bards of Spirits are:

Dorothy Unsworth

Vanessa Enoteca

Tristan - College of Spirits

Bard of Swords

Bards of Swords are called blades, and they entertain through daring feats of weapon prowess. Their talent with weapons inspires many blades to lead double lives. One blade might use a circus troupe as cover for nefarious deeds such as assassination, robbery, and blackmail. Other blades strike at the wicked, bringing justice to bear against the cruel and powerful.

Blades who abandon their lives as entertainers have often run into trouble that makes maintaining their secret activities impossible. A blade caught engaging in vigilante justice is too great a liability for most troupes. With their weapon skills and magic, these blades either take up work as performers or will join the magic knights in order to take their two lives and finally merge them together. Seen as skilled combatants and magic users these bards are not a force to be reckoned with.

Some characters that I believe to be Bards of Swords are:

Kiato

David Swallow

Sierra - College of Swords

Bard of Valor

Bards of Valor are daring skalds whose tales keep alive the memory of the great heroes of the past, and thereby inspire a new generation of heroes. These bards gather in mead halls or around great bonfires to sing the deeds of the mighty, both past and present. They travel the land to witness great events firsthand and to ensure that the memory of those events doesn't pass from the world. With their songs, they inspire others to reach the same heights of accomplishment as the heroes of old.

These bards are taught the stories of dead heroes and in turn a lot of them end up going on to write music about them or use their stories as inspiration for their magic. Often using their knowledge to help inspire their friends in combat and bring hope in bleak battlefields. A majority of the Bards of Valor go on to join the magic knights in hopes of finding their own hero to write and tell stories about. Seeing this as their shot at becoming Chaucer or Geoffrey of the world (Chaucer wrote A Knights Tale and Geoffrey wrote the stories of King Arthur)

Some characters that I believe to be Bards of Valor are:

Kahono

Puli Angel

Hype - College of Valor

Bard of Whispers

Most folk are happy to welcome a bard into their midst. Bards of Whispers use this to their advantage. They appear to be like any other bard, sharing news, singing songs, and telling tales to the audiences they gather. In truth, the College of Whispers teaches its students that they are wolves among sheep. These bards use their knowledge and magic to uncover secrets and turn them against others through extortion and threats in order to seek out justice.

Many other bards hate the Bards of Whispers, viewing it as a parasite that uses the bards’ reputation to acquire wealth and power. For this reason, these bards rarely reveal their true nature unless they must. They typically claim to follow some other school, or keep their true nature secret in order to better infiltrate and exploit royal courts and other settings of power. However they can also use their powers for good, often times bards of this school can use their power to help bring justice and equality to a flawed system or to bring justice to those the law cannot touch.

Some characters that I believe to be Bards of Whisper are:

Catherine

Langris Vaude

Ichiro - College of Whispers

“Stories have to be told or they die, and when they die, we can’t remember who we are or why we’re here.” - Sue Monk Kidd

Section 4: The Archives

Miles upon Miles of shelves full of nothing but books and thousands of feet dedicated to this one library located deep below the college. Centuries worth of national history folklore legends no one‘s heard hundreds of years live buried beneath the dirt and cobwebs of this dank and mystic labyrinth of books. These are in the royal Archives. most people don’t even know this place exist however, the bards and nobles of the kingdom are very aware of its existence... and of it’s secrecy.

Now you may be thinking “Hey this sounds just like the Vatican library“ but unlike the Vatican library, the archives are open to anyone wishing to seek knowledge. The only reason a lot of people don’t know about it is because no one really cares to ask. If we’re being real here, a majority of the books in that archive are really just diaries written by old people that are really hard to read because they’re either in a different language or they just have poor spelling because people back then were illiterate. However some of the stuff within the walls of the archive it’s rather interesting. Ancient maps leading to long-lost treasures, legends that have faded and been forgotten with time, stories of war love and loss.

It is within these walls that we find that only the country‘s history but it’s very soul. We find the story of our people hidden deep within these tombs of books. Well it is very rare for somebody that isn’t a barred to visit the archives if one is really out seeking knowledge the archive is open to them. I would like to believe that Gauche and Gordon have both visited the library at least once right after the seabed temple arc.

The grounds of the archives are guarded heavily by the bards of the college. Not only are they guarded but they are also highly protective of the knowledge there. One of the worst things that could possibly happen is the destruction of the archives. It would be on the same level as the burning of the library of Alexandria. It is for this reason that anyone wishing to enter the archives must first pass a test of character. If you are perceived as a threat you will be turned away from the archives but not banned, nobody should ever be denied access to knowledge.

“A society that has no respect, no regard for its bards, its historians, its storytellers, is a society in steep decline, a society that has lost its very soul and my never find its way.” - Laurence Overmire

Section 5: Conclusion

I’ll keep this section short and sweet because it’s been a long read and I just wanna give my thoughts. Honestly I thought that Rill and Kahono had such a unique style of magic that it almost felt like a crime to give us a taste of bard magic without making it something that was common. Plus I felt the clover kingdom needed historians to archive their history so I felt that this was a fun thing to put together to solve both problems!! I hope you enjoyed it! Please feel free to add your own thoughts and contributions to this post because I really wanna hear them!

#black clover #bard #seriously tho this was so much fun to write I’m sorry it’s so long I couldn’t help myself #I think I wanna go into monks next time #I was originally gonna say grey was a bard but she doesn’t have the charisma to do it. she’s more of a Druid anyways

MtG x Persona

Hello MtG and Persona Communities!

As a fan of both franchises, I’ve developed the backbone for a Persona game using MtG characters. Please let me know what you think of it, including any ideas to improve it. Also, feel free to reblog, edit and reblog it (clearly marking your edits as such), or give any constructive feedback, no matter how small.

Basic Story:

You are a freshman at Rosewater University. Through a “dead link” on the University homepage, you and your hall-mates can access the Collective Unconscious (C.U.) which is filled with shadows that look like Eldrazi. There, you fight each character’s repressed feelings in the form of their Shadow and help them achieve the awareness necessary to use a Persona. By day you struggle keeping up your grades, making friends, and improving yourself while at night you unravel the mystery of the C.U. and seek to stop the impending “Titans” the personal shadows mention. Throughout the game, you and your team fight through all 3 Eldrazi titans and can even challenge Nicol Bolas if the true ending is achieved.

Social Links and Characters:

Please note only the main 7 have names as of now. The others aren’t named their guilds, I just don’t have names for them yet. Also, if you have an idea for the final Persona for the other playable characters, let me know!

Main: All 7 main characters live on the same co-ed dorm floor.

C Protagonist: Main Character. Either Gender. Blank slate for the player to project onto. Has Wild Card ability, allowing them to collect and change their persona from a variety of legends in MtG history. Primary Persona Karn->Ugin->(requires all social links maxed) World-Soul Progenitus

W Winston: Somewhat sheltered, a stereotypical “white knight” (without the misogynist/etc issues associated with it) at first, he often is surprised at how little he understands people of other cultures/subcultures. Struggles with the fact that no matter how hard people seem to try, the core problems of the world don’t go away. Social Justice Major. Persona Gideon->Gerrard.

Social link is volunteering with him and hanging out afterwards.

U Ulysses: An amnesiac with no memory before the last two years. A perfectionist, he struggles trusting others. Only intrigued by his missing past, not obsessed with it at first. He begins to wonder why he isn’t obsessed as the link progresses. Can access a sliver of his persona’s power outside the Collective Unconscious to make people trust him more. Political Science Major. Persona Jace->???

Social link is just hanging out, later becomes helping him search for his past.

B Bianca: Her older brother suffered a rare disease when a nurse (the brother’s girlfriend) told her of an experimental cure the hospital couldn’t give him. She administered the “cure” to her brother, only to watch it painfully kill him. Turns out the nurse caught him cheating and used her for revenge. Ultimately, neither woman could be convicted due to reasonable doubt. Now tries to pack her life with enough distractions to avoid her guilt at all costs. Business Major. Persona Liliana->???

Social link is going on shopping trips. Later becomes visiting her brother’s grave.

R Aradhya: A refugee from a South Asian country, probably India (b/c Kaladesh). She was orphaned by the corrupt local government two years ago when they hunted her due to her homosexuality. Although she blames the government for their deaths out loud, inwardly she blames herself. Law Major. Persona Chandra-> Jaya

Social link is attending political protests.

G Grace: An environmental activist and rather empathic person. She seeks to better understand people in order to shape their opinions on the environment. Psychology Major. Persona Nissa->???

Social link is volunteering for psychology research and attending guest lectures.

Samuel GW: The RA. Big, buff guy who acts like a mother hen. Struggles with recent death of a close friend, now suffers some paranoia that you and the others will die during your adventures. His persona cannot fight, but instead acts as support. Psychology Major. Persona Ajani

Automatic social link completion, occurs during hall meetings.

Secondary Characters:

Azorius WU: 1st year tutor, understands concepts but struggles expressing them to others. She has low ASD (formerly called Asperger’s). Social link begins when you also become a tutor. You help her increase her expression and become friends. Persona is Narset, the Great Teacher.

Social link requires med intelligence and high expression. Social links occur as hanging out after you two finish tutoring.

Gruul RG: Your “big” at your fraternity. He is a party animal desperately trying to escape his family’s expectations. You help him to address his escapism and focus his weeks to studying so his family doesn’t cut him off. Persona is Xenagos, the Revealer.

ALTERNATIVE: Your “big” at your fraternity. She is fiercely protective of her friends and will overlook their destructive actions. You help her to realize that sometimes loving people means trying to protect them from themselves. Persona is Arlinn, Denmother.

Social link requires signing up for their specific frat at Rush. Social links occur during frat parties.

Orzhov WB: Founder and leader of a growing cult. They worship the Angelic Chorus led by Bruna, Gisela, and Sigarda. He made up the cult for both personal power, but now views it as his responsibility to instill ethics in his congregation. He views you as a potential heir to his position. Through your talks, you try to convince him to come down from his power trip and he try to convince you that his manipulations are ethical. You never come to a consensus, but agree with each other that you spilling the beans would only make things worse. At level 10, he reveals the secrets of what happened to Nahiri’s wielder. Persona is Sorin, Dark Shephard.

Social links occur as visits to the cult during his free day.

Izzet UR: An engineering student struggling with his academic self-image. Never had to study in high school, but now feels (s)he can’t do well even if he studies all the time. You help him/her not only to learn how to effectively study, but also to love him/herself for more than his/her brains. Persona is Ral Zarek/Saheeli.

Social links occur as tutoring sessions. Requires becoming a tutor, which takes med intelligence and high expression.

Golgori BG: A professor who loves hunting and sees your dedication as a sign that you are a kindred spirit. He eventually admits to poaching despite calling himself an environmentalist, so you have the option to either turn him over to the police or be an accomplice. Persona is Garruk, the Hunter

Social link requires high determination. Social links occur as trips to the gun range.

Simic GU: A bioengineer obsessed with her research. You help her navigate the boundaries of ethics in research, ultimately resulting in weather or not to violate FDA regulations to try and save someone using a beyond experimental drug. Persona is Kiora, the Explorer

Social links occur as being a research volunteer (blood draws once a week).

Dimir UB: Secondary Villain #2, Child of two doctors from Doctors without Borders. Lost their parents to friendly fire, believes it was no accident (it wasn’t, it was actually a ploy by the RB villain to gain power). Now actively attempting to destroy those in power (likely using an EMP to reset technology or cause global anarchy). Persona is Ashiok, Nightmare Reagent. They succeed in summoning Kozilek, the Distorter.

Requires defeating them and Max U social link to begin. Social link is visiting them in prison and showing them there are other ways to change the world.

Rakdos BR: Secondary Villain #1, A power mad politician. Gained power through his elaborate war history, although most was faked or stolen from actual war heroes. Bianca’s, he avoids her because she reminds him of what happened to her brother. He now seeks power to “take revenge on the world” for his loss. Persona is Ob Nixilus, the Conqueror. He succeeds in summoning Ulamog, the Destroyer.

Social Link can only occur before fighting him. You can work for his political campaign as the social link and begin to see the darkness that drives him.

Boros RW: Secondary Villain #3, She was the WB social link’s foster daughter and a leader in his cult until he abandoned her during her rebellious teenage years. She now seeks to kill the WB and take over the cult. Doesn’t actually believe in the cult, but believes she can create their god in the Collective Unconscious. Persona is Nahiri, Queen of Vengeance. She succeeds in summoning Avacyn, the Protector, who quickly morphs into Emrakul, the Unifier.

Social Link requires defeating her and Max WB social link to begin. Social link is visiting her in the hospital, discussing her past and helping her to move beyond the hatred.

These are the main differences from normal Persona games:

1. You are in an American college, not a Japanese high school. This is primarily done for relatability with the MtG community, as well as the fact that college is the real point where many American’s feel they gain the ability to steer their own life.

2. Your Personas are Legends and Planeswalkers from MtG lore, not deities/famous thieves. This is done to make it a MtG project. In addition, most Americans don’t really care about religious lore. In this universe, MtG and Yugioh took off instead of Marvel and DC comics in Hollywood.

3. Upon completing a social link, instead of just unlocking a persona fusion, that night you and the social link’s persona (which they may or may not know even exists) fight that persona in the C.U. This is mainly done to show that everyone has a Shadow/Persona, not just the playable characters. If the true ending is achieved, your links’ Personas appear in the final fight as you rely on your friends in your time of need.

4. In addition to fighting your teammates’ shadows, you must fight the three Eldrazi titans as the story progresses. Each is summoned by a Persona-user, who you also fight. Each Titan is the embodiment of one of mankind’s desire for peace through an unacceptable means (death, anarchy, and hive mind). The true ending involves fighting the mastermind behind it all, a man wielding the Nicol Bolas Persona (or perhaps the Persona wields the man?).

5. The 5 areas for self-improvement are physical health (White, going to the gym), Knowledge (Blue, studying), Stress-management (Black, taking “me time”), Expression (Red, attending conferences/events), and Empathy (Green, volunteering).

Please let me know what you think of this! Unfortunately, the Persona series has very complicated gameplay, so I doubt a fan game with this would be feasible. I’m just curious how people would respond if Wizards made a game like this under their new digital plan.

In the event that someone from either company sees this, by all means feel free to use this idea. I would love to see this made into or even just inspire a real game! If there are legal issues with you seeing it (like I know some Wizards employees have), sorry for the hassle. As far as I can find (i.e. 3 seconds on Google searching for “MtG Persona”), I am the only person who has suggested something like this.
