Job Gauge

Arcana Gauge

The Arcana Gauge allows astrologians to keep track of which card (arcanum) is currently drawn. An arcanum is drawn by using the action Draw, and is placed in the middle of the gauge. Using the Play command executes the arcanum's corresponding action.

Upon learning the trait Enhanced Draw II, you'll be able to view astrosigns. Lunar, Solar, and Celestial are the three astrosigns, and one of these will be applied when executing a card action. When three signs have been applied, you can use them to perform
Astrodyne.

When you learn the action Minor Arcana, drawn cards will appear on the Arcana Gauge when Minor Arcana is used.
