"They use Arcana cards in magic." This is something Mat actually knows a little bit about.

"We all have our Arcana sign, yeah?" He lifts his Wheel of Fortune medallion for emphasis. "Using cards that are connected to or have commonalities with your own Arcana sign make spells more powerful. They sell all sorts of decks in Thorne, I've seen them in shops. Some are cheap and don't work very well, and some cost about as much as a house. And there's all in between. I think what the cards are made out of and the ink they're drawn with have something to do with how well they work."

While it may not be the religious side of things, it's something.

"And a lot of folks in Thorne believe your sign says things about you. Might be something to that, you ask me." He's noted similarities between himself and others who share his sign.

"Mmm. Mankind frequently makes ill-advised decisions."
