XX. L'Archange; Judgement Roll: 21A card depicting an angel playing the trumpet while people rise from their graves in adoration. Judgement is representative of the end of the world as foretold in the Book of Revelations.
When Judgement is summoned, it does not join the Tarot Spread. Instead it transforms into another Magic Circle, layered behind the first. Another Card can then be rolled in it's place, since it does not take a Major Arcana slot. Judgement allows the spell created by the spread to be cast twice for no additional cost. Two Judgements can be drawn in one spread, resulting in a triple cast of the spell. However any more that are drawn are turned into Fools.
XXI. Le Grand Livre; The World Roll: 22The Card depicts a man standing above the world, surrounded by a green wreath and many creatures. They hold a staff in each hand. The World represents completion; the end of the Fool's journey through the Major Arcana.
When The World is summoned, it destroys the Tarot Spread and empowers the caster with the ability to cast any spell they desire; provided it is within the limits of the other cards. The spell is much more powerful than any other than a Tarot Spread could conjure, but is also just as taxing on their magic. If three Fools are summoned, they transform into The World.
