Eight of Wands
Ally
The energy is building, the pressure is rising, and the end of the act is not too far away. This is where you go big or go home. This is the moment the audience has been waiting for. It's time to pull out all the stops and give them something that will blow them away, not literally, of course, but a nice blast of energy that will get the crowd on their feet cheering for more. This is your moment. This is what it has all been building up to. Now is not the time to be shy or avoid the spotlight. Oh no, now is the time to sparkle, like you have never sparkled before, and to go forth and be bold.
Challenger
When energy is at its peak, it can be intimidating. You can start to feel overwhelmed, and the pressure that is now building around you can cause panic, or even paralysis. However, stopping now would be the worst thing you could possibly do. This means you have to resist the urge to run away with all of your might. The best course of action is to stay right where you are. You don't have to do anything if you do not want to, but just be still. Let the wave wash over you. It will be done before you know it, and you will be very grateful you did not cave to your fears.
Visual Description
A towering, stylized tiger of flame fills the center of the card, its eyes and open mouth glowing like hot coals beneath heavy red drapery. Stars and sparks scatter through rolling orange and yellow flames that surround the beast, and at the bottom four small human figures raise wands or torches toward a central bonfire. The scene is dominated by motion in fire and smoke, with energetic swirls and ember-like points dotting the air. At the very bottom a banner reads EIGHT OF WANDS.
