Spell patterns drawn onto cards for the purpose of casting Astra without the innate ability. They their primary purpose is more for training and learning to control it.

They would work through tracing the pattern depicted on the card surface with your finger, and requires time to recharge before being able to be used. This is a draw back, but not sure that is enough of one? They can be used to also set remote traps using the spells.

HOPE THIS IS AN INTERESTING INCLUSION!!

I love this inclusion! I have an inspiration suggestion for you, in the tales of vesperia movie they do something like this. They have a special printer for spells and when the spell is used it lifts from the paper. Might be something that gives you ideas!

correct! but the movie is a prequel to the game and stand alone so you don't need extra context to watch it :3 in fact i watched it before i played the game

I never actually played Vesperia! Magic in all the "Tales of" games tends to differ largely from one game to the next, and so do the mechanisms and lore, so I never really got to see the Vesperia system in action, but just hearing this does interest me~

And I also thing this is a really cool idea!
