Glossary
Ability
Abilities are designated by the Ability Icons shown in the Ability Icon List. They can also be removed and gained by other card Powers. For more information on Abilities, please see the aforementioned Ability Icon List.
Action
Actions are designated by either flat Ether Charge "Ether Charge icon" costs, flat Coin "Coin icon" costs ( e.g 1 "Coin Symbol" ), free Flips "Flip icon", or paid Flips "Flip Icon"( see "Flip" ). Actions can be activated at Imminent speed (see "Imminent") however, they may only be used once per Turn (including other players Turns) unless otherwise specified.
Attack
When a Creature or Door uses its Attack "Sword Icon" value to combat an opponent's Summoner or Blocking Creatures.
Attack Value
Is the value at the bottom right of a Creature or Door's card face, found beside Sword Icon.
Block
When a Creature or Door uses its Defense "Shield Icon" value to combat an opponent's Summoner or Attacking Creatures.
Bounty Counter
A Counter or Die placed on a Creature signifying that when the attached Creature is Destroyed, the player who placed the Counter receives a sum of Coins, or another resource, specified by the card enabling the Bounty Counter.
Cancel
An Attack, Effect, Ability or Action is completely negated. The Cancelled card is still considered "used" and so is Tilted, it's Ability, Action or Effect considered used for the Turn or it is placed in the Cemetery if it is an Imminent.
Capacity Point
Capacity or "Cap" Points are a Resource, the number of which directly corresponds to the Level of the Summoner they are attributed to. (e.g Level 1 Summoner has access to 1 Capacity Point, Level 2 has access to 2, etc.) A player can increase the number of Cap Points they have access to by attaching Level Up cards to Summoners, but are also limited to the number of Levels a Summoner can obtain. Cap Points, alongside Tilting the Summoner they are generated by, allow a player to Invoke cards from their hand. Cap points are regenerated in the Restoration Phase of every turn. They can also be regenerated by Powers found elsewhere in Rise TCG.
Cemetery
Whenever a card is played (in the case of Imminents cards) or Destroyed (in the case of Creatures or Doors), or removed from the battlefield (in the case of Incantations), or Discarded (see "Discard"), unless specified to go elsewhere, the Cemetery is where they must be placed. The only exceptions to this are Rank Infinite cards (see "Rank") which are placed in the Ether as Ether Charges "Ether Charge Icon" (see "Ether Charges").
Charge Counter
Charge Counters are placed on Constant cards, as and when directed. They can be positive and negative, depending on the Power used to bestow them. Mostly in the form of +1/+1 or -1/-1, which directly affect the attached card's Attack and Defense values, there are other Charge Counters to be aware of.
Coin
Coins are a Resource which are primarily used to activate Actions (see "Actions"). They are mainly stored and generated in the Stock, however, they are also generated by many other means in Rise TCG.
Constant
A Constant is any card which stays present on the battlefield until Destroyed or Excluded. Note - An Imminent card is NOT considered a Constant.
Control
Whenever this Term is used, it denotes the controller of the card specified will change to another player.
Copy / Copies
The copying Creature gains the copied Creature's Type, Title, Attack "Sword Icon" and Defense "Shield Icon" values , passive Effects and Actions. The copying Creature still retains it's original Type in addition.
Creature
Creature are cards identified by the Type "Creature" at the top of the card face. They possess Attack "Sword Icon" and Defense "Shield Icon" values in the bottom right of the card face. Creatures can possess Actions, Abilities and Effects, in addition to the aforementioned values.
Critical
Critical Success or Fail conditions arise when the Flip result is Forced (see Force) by another card's Action, Effect or Ability.
Cumulative Action
The gains or losses granted by the Action, Effect or Ability can stack on previously gains or losses. (e.g. Each time the Action, Effect or Ability is used the gained +1/+1 Charge Counter will become +2/+2,+3/+3, etc)
Cure
Any Diseases (see "Disease") afflicting the Creature or Summoner are removed with no further effect.
Cycle
A Cycle consists of the amount of Turns it takes for each player in a game of Rise to play. If a card specifies a "Cycle", it means from the moment it is Invoked/Summoned until the moment play is returned to it's Invoker/Summoner.
Damage
Damage is the application of any Attack value from one source (be it from Creature, Door, Imminent, Incantation, Effect, Action, Ability, etc) to a target. In the case of a Creature or Door, this is calculated against the opponent's Block "Shield Icon" value and results in either Destruction or, with the correct Ability allowing, it can roll over to a Summoner, minus the Block value. If an Attack is not Blocked, Damage is applied directly to the Summoner of the Blocking party's choice. In the case of Summoners receiving Damage, the amount of Damage applied is subtracted from their HP (see "HP").
Defend
See "Block"
Defense Value
Is the value at the bottom right of a Creature or Door's card face, found beside small Shield Icon.

A Summoner's Level can also be manipulated by other cards in Rise TCG.
