About The Holy Fool

The planned tarot cards supply abilities, boons and curses that shape progression and create deck synergies. Skills and spells also exist as memories that can be traded to merchants for goods.

A traded memory is intended to remain usable while you are alive. If you die and respawn, that memory is permanently lost, so a purchase can put a useful skill at risk.
