Turn 15: Portal Shift

The shadowy figure drew another card, and a dark grin spread across its face. “Time to play my ace,” it said, placing a card on the field. “Meet the Dark Archmage.”

Dark Archmage

Type: God-Tier Creature Card

Rarity: God-Tier

Description: The Dark Archmage is a menacing figure draped in a flowing black robe that seems to absorb the surrounding light. Its face is obscured by a deep hood, but two glowing red eyes pierce through the darkness. In one hand, it holds a twisted staff crowned with a pulsating orb of dark energy, while the other hand is raised, manipulating the very fabric of reality. Behind the Dark Archmage, the air is split by a swirling vortex -a portal that crackles with arcane power. The battlefield beneath its feet is warped and twisted, reflecting the chaos and unpredictability it brings.

Abilities:

* [Arcane Mastery]: Once per turn, the Dark Archmage can cast a random high-level spell without using any mana. The spell can range from devastating attacks to powerful buffs or debuffs, depending on the whims of fate.

* [Portal Shift]: The Dark Archmage opens a rift in the fabric of reality, dragging the two strongest opposing creatures (or players) into the battlefield to fight on its behalf for two turns, after which a battle of wills each turn determines whether the creatures (or players) remain on the field. These creatures are forcibly summoned and compelled to attack their own allies. At the end of the two turns, the portal closes, returning them to their original sides, but with their resource pools reduced by half.

* [Dark Ritual]: Each time a creature is destroyed while the Dark Archmage is on the battlefield, the Dark Archmage gains +5 Attack and +5 Defense, drawing power from the fallen.

* [Veil of Shadows]: The Dark Archmage is immune to all direct targeting spells and abilities. It can only be damaged through area-of-effect attacks or by other creatures on the battlefield.

Game Message: “The Dark Archmage steps onto the battlefield, bending reality itself! With a wave of its hand, it tears open a portal, pulling the two strongest opponents into the fray, where they must fight for the Archmage’s dark cause.”

As a robed figure appeared, floating above the ground, its eyes glowed with malevolent power. The Dark Archmage raised its hands, and the air crackled with dark energy. This powerful entity had the ability to cast devastating spells that could turn the tide in its favor.

With a malevolent grin, the Dark Archmage chanted in a guttural language unknown to Jaeden, and the very fabric of reality seemed to warp. A swirling vortex opened up in the air, a tear in space itself - a Portal Shift.

The portal pulsed with dark energy, and before Jaeden could react, he felt an invisible force grip him, pulling him toward the rift. Across the battlefield, the Twilight King was also ensnared by the portal’s power, his smug expression faltering as he was dragged toward the vortex.
