About the game
This is a mini-expansion pack for School of Sorcery, originally offered during the Kickstarter campaign for the base game. The pack is not "Kickstarter-exclusive," but it must be purchased separately and directly from Dr Finn's Games, if not acquired during the Kickstarter campaign. The pack consists of 5 cards with strong special powers. If you lose a sorcery card during Phase IV and you have a crystal on it, you can get a "consolation card" which can be used one time in place of one of your permanent powers.
