Talents
LVL 5-


 * Levitation (Stat Passive) - The player learns how to levitate. Increases speed by +5.
 * Hat Trick (Talent 1) - The player launches three spiky hats (275% base damage per hit) forward to hit enemies. It costs fifteen materia with a cooldown of five seconds.
 * Identity Crisis (Passive 1) - The player ends up having another identity, switching once under 50 materia which lowers the cooldown of talents by five. It takes a ten second cooldown for your identity to revert to normal.

LVL 15-


 * Carousel Carol (Talent 2)- Part of your deck of cards swirl around you, three hits (175% base damage) each second for five seconds. In Alter Ego mode, your surroundings turn into cards which are used in place of materia. This normally uses twenty-five materia and has a ten second cooldown, while in Alter Ego, it uses 0 materia. The regular effect is to give the player 15 materia after 7 seconds, but when used in Alter Ego, it instantly gives 15 materia but takes away 25 after 5 seconds/

LVL 25-


 * Vertigo (Talent 3) - The player summons a large amount of cards from a hat. The cards hit the foe sixteen times (500% base damage). This requires twenty-five materia and has a whopping thirty second cooldown.

LVL 35-


 * Switcheroo! (Talent 4) - The player's personalities sync for a small amount of time and summon playing cards together to attack an enemy. There are three whizzing cards that hit nine times (450% base damage) and card twirls that hit six times (455% base damage). This will force an identity shift, and will cost thirty materia with a fifteen second cooldown. In Alter Ego, it only costs 15 materia.
 * Shared Commodities (Passive 2) - After a identity crisis that causes a swap, the player deals 50% more damage for five seconds.
