New card texts unnecessarily complicated
Would like to state first that I really enjoy using this mod, all of the QoL updates are nice, except for the changes to the card text.

When I initially downloaded this mod, the card text were exactly what they were in the physical copy of the game. But after this recent update, some of the card text has been altered, and it adds a lot of unnecessary words to some of the cards.

For example, "Amulet of Air" previously read

"Increase your summoning gauge by 2",

as that is what it reads on the physical copy as well. After this update, the card now reads

" When you summon the Amulet of Air, move your sorcerer token on your summoning gauge forward two spaces"

There are other cards that are affected by this change, but I feel that this does not add any clarity for those who are first time playing, as the rules should be read regardless. Alongside this, some cards reference things that aren't even on the board, such as any card that increases your crystal count.

"Amulet of Earth: When you summon the Amulet of Earth, move your sorcerer token on the crystal track forward nine spaces."

Not only is the card complicated for no reason, but there isn't even a crystal track with spaces in the first place. I actually like the crystal counter, as I think it makes it more simple when adding or losing crystals, adding all the extra lingo to a card that is supposed to read "Gain 9 Crystals" is just unnecessary.

I really hope you can revert the cards back to the previous format, as this change just makes the cards feel really poorly written, and takes away from some of the simple cards in the game.

This recent update was just QoL changes. I did not update the deck at all. I did change the deck back in a Oct 22, 2017 update though. I don't remember why, but I imagine it was probably due to it being a higher resolution or something.

I know the cards had the original text on them before the most recent updates, and that they have this new text on them after the update. It was very apparent to me and my friends as this workshop mod was one of the first ones we played when we downloaded the game. Do you have any plans to look at the cards and put the original card texts on them instead of how they are now?

I didn't mean to update the cards, looks like I may have been using an old save when I updated the layout. I just added back the cards.

Awesome! I think the option for either set is nice as well. Thanks for doing that!
1 small thing to add is that you only added 1 set of the "Advanced" power cards, when there should be 2 sets. Not trying to nit pick, but having those cards be usable would be nice.

Great job with the whole thing, really do appreciate it!

Fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
