The Traveler's Explanation and Ryan's Deck

The Planeswalker setting originates from the card game Magic: The Gathering, published by Wizards of the Coast, also known as a Planeswalker.

What is a Planeswalker? In Magic: The Gathering, Planeswalkers are mages with powerful abilities who can travel between different planes of existence. There are countless worlds within the Multiverse, and the unique abilities of Planeswalkers allow them to traverse these different worlds, using these experiences to enhance their own knowledge and power.

The Spark: One in a million. Among tens of millions of living beings, only one possesses a "Spark," an indescribable essence that gives this being the chance to become a Planeswalker. And among those born with a "Spark," only a tiny fraction ever have the opportunity to "ignite" it, thereby realizing their potential to traverse time and space. Many Planeswalkers ignite their sparks when facing immense crises or trauma, but each person's awakening process is unique. A near-death experience might ignite a spark, but a life-altering epiphany or a state of deep meditation can also allow a mage to grasp transcendent truths. Every Planeswalker has their own unique path of awakening.

However, due to the limitations of Magic: The Gathering's gameplay, there are only five types of land cards: Plains, which provide white mana; Islands, which provide blue mana; Swamps, which provide black mana; Mountains, which provide red mana; and Forests, which provide green mana. In the game, each basic land card can provide one point of mana for players to summon followers, cast spells, and so on.

Yet, because the terrain in a concrete world is never so limited, and because the characteristics and importance of different terrains and locations vary, it is impossible to calculate everything based on the game's one-mana-per-land rule. For example, land beside the Abyssal Styx cannot be viewed as identical to farmland beside one's own river; that would be simply terrible—my grandmother's leather shoes don't smell as bad as that idea.

Therefore, I have changed the land card costs, and the effects and mana provided by different land cards have changed accordingly. Consequently, the costs of creatures and spells in various decks have also fluctuated. A world-ending boss that cost ten mana in the game might now require hundreds of mana points. This way, the gap in strength becomes more obvious, and there is more motivation to collect special land cards. However, the data aspect is a bit hair-pulling; this damn balancing is such a headache. I kind of regret choosing the Planeswalker path. Damn it!
