The myth

The Westcar Papyrus gathers tales of magic from the Egyptian court. In one, King Sneferu is bored and goes boating on a lake with young women rowing. One of them loses a green fish-shaped pendant and stops rowing. The chief priest then parts the waters of the lake, picks up the jewel from the bottom and closes the waters again, and the king rewards him for the wonder. The Sorceress of the Turquoise Veil, whose eyes see the riverbed, is a MYTHENOR creation inspired by that water magic.

Why it has this power

A common level 3 Spellcaster of Water with 900 ATK and 1100 DEF: more protection than attack. Moon beats Wisp and Scarab beats Leviathan. Her real power comes from the Lapis Serpent Staff, which gives +700 and raises her to 1600 ATK.

Did you know

In the same Westcar Papyrus, another priest makes a wax crocodile that comes to life when thrown into the water.
