Ultimate Magic is another solid example of our highly complex process to stuff every super-awesome thing we could think of into the Ultimate Add-On Deck series.

Good luck prying the spellbook out of her hands.

I've previously mentioned that Enora is one of my favorite characters, though I'll admit that I like all kinds of characters with lots of card variance, deck cycling, and a versatile toolkit. Ultimate Enora hits a lot of great notes, just like Wrath Enora, and she's even got an impressive array of awesome books to accompany her.

Whichever role you pick, you're still awesome.

I once described Enora as supercalifragilistic-Librariana-docious, and I'm pretty sure any version of Enora I make is going to get some kind of book-related role. This Enora also explores her worship of Nethys and turns into a fairly excellent healer with her White Mage role.

Got a problem? Ice and Fire will solve it.

Ultimate Magic is filled to the brim with spells. There are a ton of spells of all kinds to spice up any cleric or wizard's deck. This is especially true for Attack spells, which are represented in every single adventure deck number. There's also a new cycle of spells that includes Icicle Swarm, which caters well to casters who might need to defeat a multi-check villain, and also to sometime-casters like the Magus or Bloodrager who might see benefit from a solid replacement dice expression.

Not every problem is solvable with destruction, but every problem has its spell.

Of course, many of the spells are useful outside of combat as well. Fly is a fantastic way to do a little bit of scouting from above, then go to the best location. Rejuvenation is the most powerful solution in the game for all that ails you.

Sometimes you need an outfit with a bit of flair.

While spells are a huge chunk of this deck, we couldn't possibly stop there. We have an assortment of caster-appropriate armors and items. What bard wouldn't like to wander into a tavern with a gorgeous hat and an incredibly useful instrument?

The right magical tool for the right magical job.

Ultimate Magic also has a ton of useful items, including more awesome staves and wands than you can shake a magical stick at. There's also a hefty cycle of powerful books for knowledgeable casters like Enora and the Pathfinder Tales Character Deck's Varian.

You can almost see the journey from child to adult here.

As for allies, Magical Child is a highly useful and adorable card for anyone. You might be a little confused by that "Vigilante" tag but, with the help of her magic costume, powers, and pet friend, she is totally fighting crime and making the world a better place! On the other end of the spectrum, Autumn Witch is ready to offer fabulous power to any caster who might need her assistance.

The gods of magic have got your back. Or at least your existential ability to alter reality.

Assuming you like to reliably recharge your blessings, you'll find Blessing of the Spellbound fantastic for all of your Arcane and Divine needs. Qi Zhong is the Tian Xia deity of magic and healing, and he's going to be very helpful for all your exploration needs. You'll also find upgraded blessings of the Master of Masters, the Seventh Veil, and the All-Seeing Eye.

I hope you'll find this deck truly magical! Next month we're going to show off one of the craziest characters we've ever made, along with an impressive array of boons, in Ultimate Intrigue.
