What do you think? Supports a possible {g}{u} counters matter theme on the back side a bit.

A couple things: Power is too high on the front side, it should be 1. Second, we don't really see Renarin's lightweaving in either book. He has yet to really develop those powers. I was thinking maybe have some sort of card draw ability, since he has a specific ability to see the future?

I was just doing that because we wanted to represent each character's Surges through their two abilities. We don't really see Dalinar using his surges much, but he still has them. Same with Ym's second surge, we don't even know what it is.

True. The thing is, Renarin's main use of his abilities was seeing the future, at least in WoR. It doesn't quite feel complete without it. Maybe something on the front side? We would need to make sure it's not too similar to Jasnah. Scry, perhaps?

How's this?

Excellent.

I moved the scry to the first ability to balance power (see Regenerate) and give the abilities a more similar complexity.

Okay, that works. If we get the chance to playtest, let's make a note that this could require moving down from scry 2 to scry 1, but for now it's fine.
