The Structure You Built

What you have created with such great energy investment now towers above you, becoming a landmark that indicates your whereabouts.

The Lightning Strike of Revelation

And suddenly, a lightning bolt strikes, bringing illumination... and it is no more.

Visual Description

A tall, jagged rock spire rises above a town, topped by a shattered winged statue or figure that is breaking apart; fragments fall from its head. A bright, slashing bolt of light or energy cuts the sky to the right, and turbulent orange and purple clouds fill the background. Below the spire a clustered village of buildings sits at the foot of the cliff. The roman numeral "XVI" appears at both the top and the bottom of the card.
