[QUOTE="Ferrousbones, post: 9195669, member: 7042306"] This feature states (emphasis mine): "While the card is imbued with the spell, you can use a bonus action to flourish the card and cast the spell within. [COLOR=rgb(247, 218, 100)]The card then immediately loses its magic[/COLOR]." The bolded text would mean the card was a magic item while the spell is within. Also, text like the bold above is present in magic items that have non-renewing charges. Additionally, the imbuing of a spell directly from a spell-list is very similar to the Artificer's Spell Storing Item. So there is precedent for a feature to make a magic spellcasting item. Further, there are magic items (like the Master's Amulet from the Monster Manual) that have no listed type or rarity. So we cannot determine if the card is a magic item based on the lack of either. Last, many magic spellcasting items say you (the wielder) cast the spell(s) within. So that language itself doesn't mean spellslots are used. Taken altogether, this would mean the feature's card should be adjudicated using the spellcasting item rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide (page 141) (emphasis mine): In this case, the card has 1 non-renewing charge. This feat does not say a spell slot is used to imbue the spell, nor when casting, so no spell slot would be spent. [B][SIZE=5]All that being said.[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=4]The concerns raised in this thread are valid, due to the extremely poor wording of this feat, so it definitely needs to be run with homebrew restriction until/unless it gets a logical errata.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
