Chimerstry: Card Sharp - 600 OM [Requires Ranged Proficiency, Debuff Proficiency]
Harlan draws upon one of the more esoteric weapons from his past, and summons a seemingly normal deck of cards, shuffling them into existence over a period of five seconds. Once they're summoned, he can either keep the deck in his hand, or throw them all into the air.
If he keeps them in his hand, Harlan may draw a card and throw it with deadly speed, the edges acting like razor blades. They can cut, sever, and damage like a thrown knife, although he must manually aim them. It takes about a second for him to draw, aim, and throw a single card. While holding the deck, he may use his free hand for chimerical illusions or other weapons.
If he throws the deck into the air, it separates and forms a whirling tornado of cards extending two feet around his body. They provide no defense, but if an enemy comes into melee range, the constant buffets and nicks of the razor edges will inflict a bleeding effect that persists for a minute, damaging them and lowering their DEF stat. While in this version, Harlan may not use any other weapons or illusions. He must concentrate solely on the cards. Using this mode, he may aim with his hands, and fire the cards like a machine gun. However, this depletes the total number of cards much faster, and will end the illusion prematurely. The card tornado lasts for either a minute, until it has inflicted it's debuff twice, or until Harlan has depleted them by firing them offensively.
It takes a significant amount of Vitae to condense the cards for the first step and fuel the illusion, so Harlan usually cannot use this move more than twice a fight.
