The Magician

The Magician

"Darkness beyond twilight..." Lina Inverse stands ready to use her considerable powers to reshape her environment to suit her. Does this mean casting a healing spell to cure her wounds, or a big honking Dragon Slave that could level a town? Only Lina knows her own whims, but she is capable of either, and much more besides. She may not always know exactly what she's doing, but she is more than willing to try and do something. Not the most honest of people, however, sometimes Lina delights in tricking people in order to get her way. (Illusion is also a form of magic.)

Lina stands atop a pile of treasure which she has claimed; scattered amid the treasure are three of the four traditional magician's tools, by which mastery over the four elements is gained: wand, cup, and pentacle. Lina already wears the fourth tool, a sword.


Meanings at a glance: Power, capability, the ability to control one's environment; mastery; sometimes trickery or illusion

****
Second in the series of the Otaku Tarot...the one, the only - Lina Inverse from the classic anime, "Slayers"!

While I know the figure in the card of the Magician is traditionally a male one, I also figure Lina's packing enough yang energy to blow the socks off just about any Main Monster Guy you want to name.
