Seems like a good card for Agatha. By which I mean, it appears her Glimpse the Void weakness makes this card work... better? It's not clear that the ability only ignores tokens revealed because of enemies. It seems like a blanket clause about revealed tokens.

Glimpse reads: "The first time you reveal 1 or more chaos tokens during each skill test, you must reveal 1 additional chaos token (/and resolve its effects/)." - on the parenthetical reminder text, can't resolve if it was ignored.

The bottom of the rules on resolving multiple tokens says "Note that this entry only applies when multiple chaos tokens are "resolved." If multiple chaos tokens are revealed and all but 1 of them are canceled or ignored, this entry does not apply."

Presumably this card has the Cursed trait because it touches Glimpse the Void, a card desperately needing a FAQ entry.

Now, since this is supposed to be a review. I like it. The "researched" condition on its L0 forebear seems easy to fulfill, even moreso if you're an evasive type that can get extra tokens out of this version. Pricey at 4xp / 3R / an accessory slot. Still, pretty solid tempo for Seeker types unafraid of enemies or who're hanging out with their favorite meat shield. And good protection against the autofail.

I think the correct timing is crucial here. As I interpret the wording, the token drawn with Glimpse the Void MUST be resolved, so you don't get to choose a token with the effect from Dial of Ancients and have to ignore all other tokens. — AlderSign · 396
interesting take, but Glimpse doesn't say "this token cannot be canceled or ignored" - just that it "Must" be revealed — Bloodw4ke · 82
(/and resolve its effects/) as a logical consequence of that. But if it was canceled or ignored it can't resolve... — Bloodw4ke · 82
I don't feel wholly correct with my statement, but I still think that Glimpse the Void forces you to resolve the token before you get to choose which ones to ignore. — AlderSign · 396
Skill test timing breaks it into: ST.3 Reveal chaos token. ST.4 Resolve chaos symbol effect(s). — Bloodw4ke · 82
You will reveal X additional tokens & ignore all but one, and reveal 1 additional token. Or the other way around. you will reveal 1 additional token and pick one of them to use the other ability on. — Adny · 1
@Bloodw4ke: Now that I re-read it I think you are right. If the "(and resolve its effects)" wasn't reminder text it would look differently, I'd argue. But it isn't :) P.S.: I would love to see Glimpse the Void linked in the review, so that people wouldn't need to search for the card manually. — AlderSign · 396
Thanks, good suggestion. Done. — Bloodw4ke · 82
