power) or putting a Gold from your essence pool onto a component
(such as with the Mermaid or Infuser) does not gain a Gold.
Phoenix: for space reasons, the term "Destroy" has been merged into
its power's cost icon.
Scrimshaw Awl: its first power's discount can be used to reduce Gold
costs.
Places of Power
Mystical Menagerie: to use its second power, you must have cards
in your deck. If your discard pile, but not your deck, has cards, then you
can't pay its cost to use it and do not shuffle your discard pile to form
a new deck.
F.A.O
(copied from Lux et Tenebrae)
Q: When a power's cost involves discarding an artifact from your
hand, do you also gain 1 Gold or 2 other essences from it?
A: No (this gain occurs only when doing the discard action).
Q: When a power's cost involves turning a different artifact, do you
also activate that artifact's power(s)?
A: No (you are doing the "use a power" action; turning a different
artifact is simply part of paying the power's cost and has no other
effects).
Q: Can you use a power that adds an essence to a component to put
an essence on a turned component (such as using the Mermaid to add
a Gold to the Cursed Forge when it is turned)?
A: Yes.
Q: Can powers that draw and put back cards be used on other
players' decks?
A: No.
Q: Must essences used to pay for components and power costs come
from your essence pool?
A: Yes (unless otherwise indicated, e.g. Athanor's Elan for its second
power).
Q: On my turn, can I use a power that will produce no effect (to avoid
having to pass)?
A: Yes, provided you fully pay the power's cost.

44 Combine the expansion components with the base game components.
Place the Pearls in the center of the essence tray. Give each player 1 Pearl
(in addition to their other essences).
The number of Places of Power and monuments to use varies with
the number of players (see below). All magic items are always available.
This expansion, either with or without the �rst Res Arcana expansion,
Lux et Tenebrae, can support 5 players. Even with both expansions, we
do not recommend playing with 6 players.
Shu�e all the monuments together. Deal the number shown above
to form the initial deck and return any unused monuments to the box
(without examining them). Then draw 2 monuments and place them
face up in the center.
Shu�e the Places of Power together, unseen below the table, turning
over half of them several times as you shu�e (so that which side of
each Place of Power is face up is random). Place the number shown
above and return any unused places of power to the box.
After doing this, place the reminder tile Pearl side up in the center.
Perform the rest of setup normally.
Play proceeds normally except as noted below:
The game now ends on a victory check when any player has 13 or
more victory points (instead of 10 or more).
Pearls. These are a new essence type. Powers that produce essences
of any type that exclude Gold cannot produce Pearls. Similarly,
discounts that do not apply to Gold also do not apply to Pearls.
Mages
Ilusionist: both her powers are React powers used to satisfy turning
a Creature, Demon, or Dragon to pay a power cost; or when you use
a Check Victory power and have a Place of Power that earns VPs for
having Creatures, Demons, or Dragons in play. As Mages cannot be
destroyed, her �rst power cannot be used with the Lux et Tenebrae Gate
of Hell’s second power.
Artifacts
Catherine Wheel: this in�icts life loss on all players (not rivals),
including its owner.
Raven Familiar: you gain a Gold when you take it from the supply,
placing it either in your essence pool or on a component. This can occur
due to a power, Collect ability, the Discard an Artifact action, or by
converting a pearl. Taking a Gold from a component (either during the
Collect step or by using the Lux et Tenebrae Infernal Engine’s second Setup Play 22 33 Contents
2 Places of Power
(double-sided)
On a player’s turn, a player may convert one or more Pearls in their
essence pool each to gain 1 Gold essence or any 2 non-Gold, non-Pearl
essences (which may be the same or di�erent).
A player may also convert Pearls in their essence pool out of turn
when using a React power or when responding to a React power
condition (such as being attacked by a Dragon). If a timing con�ict
arises (when one player’s decision on converting a Pearl depends on
whether another player is doing so), resolve it clockwise, starting with
the player with the First Player token.
During a victory check, each Pearl that a player has at the end of it,
either on their components or in their essence pool, counts as 1 VP.
Thus, each Pearl on the Pearl Bed is worth 3 VPs (2 for the Pearl Bed
plus 1 for itself). As Pearls are worth victory points, they do not count
towards breaking ties.
These rules are summarized on the front of the Reminder tile (its back
has the setup chart).
Note: the demon artifact type (see Ghost Ship and Catherine Wheel)
was introduced in Lux et Tenebrae. Some components have or interact
(Illusionist) with it (to ensure that Lux et Tenebrae scales well with this
expansion). Component
