Exploring the Card

What better to symbolize this card than that old felix felicis potion, the magic stuff that simply will not let you fail and that will allow you to do just the perfect thing at the right time - and six little glasses to share your good fortune with your friends?

Visual Description

A tall glass decanter with a rounded stopper stands at the center of a table, a small tag tied around its neck bearing the words 'felix felicis'. Six tall drinking glasses, some with handles, surround the decanter and contain varying levels of liquid, their surfaces reflecting light and the table beneath. Decorative swirling filigree patterns frame the scene along the sides, while a small circular symbol appears near the top and the printed title '6 Happiness' is visible at the bottom with a small glyph beneath the illustration. The image is a monochrome pencil drawing with careful shading that emphasizes the glass reflections and textures.
