Page of Swords
Page of Swords represents a curious, defiant youth beginning to learn a new approach and testing the limits of their skill. The figure's tight hold on the sword and unrefined posture show raw potential that requires training and experience. Upright, the card signals curiosity, defiance, and a beginner's mind focused on learning; reversed, it warns of caution, elusiveness, caustic attitudes, and being held back or unable to connect the dots. The calm sky, distant plateaus, and the glowing bind rune suggest perspective, growth, and taking joy in serving a greater cause.

Description
A youth stands in a defiant pose with their sword. The weapon is almost as tall as they are. They have a tight hold on the sword, with the blade pointing down at the ground. The other hand rests on their belt. Their clothing is loose, and does not cover their arms. Their hair has been pushed to the side. All of this posturing shows how the youth is not fully trained in using the weapon. They have a long way to go before they can use the full range of the mighty blade. The sky is calm, and plateaus appear in the distance. A bind rune glows next to the youth's feet.

curiosity, defiance, knowing what you want, learning a new approach, beginner's mind.

Visual Description
A young armored figure stands on a rocky plain beneath a dramatic, cloud-filled sky, holding a long sword vertically with the tip resting on the ground. She wears leather armor and a single bracer, one hand on her hip and the other gripping the sword’s pommel, her long hair loose and slightly windswept. A neon-like rune appears on the lower left and the title 'PAGE OF SWORDS' is printed across the bottom edge of the image.
