The Gem of Mata-Kata
Sulfur, a simple cook from Klûne faced a thousand dangers before finding his idol, the one who accepted to teach him sorcery: the Babayagob. He then had to face a thousand more before the witch finally decided to share her knowledge with him. However, Sulfur quickly realized that the old goblin hadn't told him everything: he could learn all the magic formulas he wanted from books, without mana he wouldn't be able to do a thing. The brave apprentice therefore climbed to the top of the Mata-Kata volcano to tear the object of his desire from the source of power itself.
The goblins' legendary luck hadn't let him down: Sulfur found a magnificent gem of fire jammed in a cliff of basalt. By removing the stone, he triggered nothing less than a huge eruption and the destruction of the surrounding villages, yet he survived Mata-Kata's wrath.
Ever since then, this gem, filled with volcanic power, has never left him during his glorious career.
Sulfur can spend gems of Fire right before casting a spell or a ritual composed even partially of Fire. He can then use one or several of the effects described on the back of this card.
