Attribute - Any one of the core measures of a character. Power, Toughness, Life, Focus, Memory, Black, Blue, Green, Red, and White are all Attributes. Bonus - A positive adjustment to an Attribute. Channeling - A roll based on your score in the appropriate Spark Attribute. Channeling is used in a duel to put into play Basic Lands. Damage (roll) - Deck - The collection of Cards that are Ready for use in a duel. A planeswalker may have several decks lists prepared ahead of time, but only 1 can be Readied at any given time. Draw - A roll based on the Memory Attribute. Often modified by the rarity of the target card. Focus - A core Source Attribute used often in Speed Rolls and to limit the number of permanents (artifacts, creatures, enchantments, lands, etc.) that a planeswalker can maintain on the field at any given time. Hand Size - The maximum number of cards that can be held by a planeswalker during a duel. Hand size is a derived Attribute based on Memory and sometimes bonuses/penalties from Cards. Improvement - The process of spending XP to purchase permanent adjustments to the PC. Keyword - A special creature ability. Often granted by Race. Library - A term used for both the entire collection of a PC's cards and also for the 5 Attributes that govern (limit) the contents of the Planeswalker's deck. Mana Pool - The maximum mana that can be held at once. The value of the Mana Pool is calculated as the sum total of the 5 core Spark Attributes. Mana Pool might also be modified by other factors such as Race or Cards. Memory - A core Source Attribute used often in Draw Rolls and to derive Hand Size. Modifier - An adjustment to a roll. Penalty - A negative adjustment to an Attribute. Ready - A single planeswalker's deck currently designated to be the one used in a duel. Readying a different deck that is already prepared takes 1 hour of uninterrupted focus (IC time). Recovery - A roll based on the Toughness Attribute. Often made at the end of a turn during a duel, or when a planeswalker utilizes his/her Regeneration Keyword. Resistance (roll) - Roll - The process of utilizing dice to determine successes. Common Rolls are made for Speed, Draw, Channeling, Toughness, and Recovery. A Roll is either a Typical Roll or an Ad-Hoc Roll. Roll, Typical - The use of a number of d10's to determine the outcomes of Dealing Damage, Resisting Damage, Speed, Drawing Cards, and Channeling Mana. Roll, Ad-hoc - The use of dice for anything other than those specified by a Typical Roll. The Dice Pool for an Ad-hoc Roll is governed by the total values of two Attributes (1 Source and 1 Spark). Speed - One of the rolls based on the Focus Attribute. Staggered - A staggered creature cannot attack, block, or utilize any ability that requires it to tap. Success - A value of 6 or higher on a d10 die (after modifiers). Tapped - A condition indicating that a permanent (including a planeswalker) is engaged in some attention-demanding task. A permanent that is tapped cannot activate any abilities that require it to tap again. Trait - A unique Bonus/Penalty/Modifier that affect a planeswalker's spellcasting. Traits are listed on the character sheet in The Spark section. Unsummon - Return a permanent to its owner's hand. XP - Experience Points. Gained over time during IC gameplay.
