Would be cool if Denis and the Gang can hook us up with unique card 'symbiosis/synthesis/fusion', like combining the effects of some cards into hybrid effects, but it would take a lot to unlock these powerful effects, and there'd have to be limitations/trade-offs for them perhaps.
Maybe it could become another situation where completing additional challenges would potentially remove some of the negative effects/trade-offs for the symbiosis/synthesis/fusion forms/abilities.
Couple of examples:
Vampire tarot fusion -- Werewolf + Werebat = 'Werepyre'
Werepyre has the savage ferocity of the werewolf form, combined with the high mobility of the werebat form. The form offers amazing combat potential, but is very highly draining to maintain for very long.
Bonuses to damage, attack speed, movement, and damage resistance, but only lasts for a short time before reverting to original vampire form and suffering from a short period of exhaustion (which can be shortened by feeding).
Liche tarot synthesis -- Acid Blast + Lightning = 'Corrosive Chain'
Corrosive Chain is highly destructive against any metal, including constructs, armor, weapons, and even traps and barricades, and works quite well against flesh as well, living or otherwise. The high potency and utility of the spell is afforded at a higher magical cost than normal spells, and can be used only seldomly or else risk magical fatigue.
High damage and afflicts metal and flesh with corrosion status effect affecting all targets within a certain proximity to each other, but costs a lot of mana.
Ghoul tarot symbiosis -- Consume Corpse + Regurgitate = 'Corpse Mortar'
A very visceral option for the combat savvy ghoul, you eat a corpse, and then forcibly eject it at an enemy, and it explodes upon them, covering them in horrid mess and impaling them with fragments of the body, any nearby enemies also take some splash damage (beware the splash zone). The process of wasting a meal makes the user quite famished, however, so hopefully you've created another meal from the one you used up.
Corpse Mortar deals high damage to a single target, and afflicts them with sickness (if they're susceptible to it), and deals minor damage to other nearby foes as well, but it drives the ghoul's hunger up sharply, risking negative status effects for the ghoul if they don't replace the meal very soon after.
Completing challenges related to the combinations could extend their effective use time or reduce the negative impact of using them. Lots of combination ideas, of course, but I won't go on and on about it here.
