Spell-like protectors
« on: February 01, 2013, 01:04:21 AM »
Coloured card sleeves are usefull in MW to see owner of given card.
I would like to see protectors designed for MW for more thematic value. Of course, you can make art simmilar to spell book covers, but I have different idea.

Most time you will see revers of the card is when you have prepared spells or hidden enchantments. It would be thematic, if those cards would look like magic power. You could make specific artwork for each mage or school. In example:
Priestess/Paladin/Holly - Light aura
Necromancer/Warlock/Dark - some purple clouds
Beastmaster/Druid/Nature - spring greek fairy dust/whirling leaves
Wizzard/Arcane - blue/purple magic sparkling dust
Forcemaster/Mind - some mind lightnings
Illussionist/Mind - no idea
Sorcerer - no idea
Warlord/War - forge sparks or some blood rain/cloud
Air - little whirlwind
Fire - whirling flames (subtele - so they wouldn't look like finnished spell)
Water/Earth - no idea

They could be packed 80 in package - so there should be enough for every page in spellbook.

80 is a pretty non-standard pack as sleeves go, so I wonder how practical or cost impacting going to a manufacturer for a different distribution would be. Besides, 100 would likely be better as you'll split sleeves sooner or later and need replacements. At that rate, then, we're back to the more common packs of 50.
