Relatively simple design for a legendary rare. Given how powerful and relatively confusing this Bequeath ability will be, I think I'm fine with it at rare. I'm still not 100% convinced that stackable or self-referencing abilities are the way to go with Bequeath, so I'll see how the reception and testing on this card is. This ability can go in either Green or White, but since it's about "improving oneself", I'm putting it in green for now.

As for the character himself, he's the final member of the protagonist party trying to reclaim his birthright on the throne of evil kingdom's capital. While his motivations are a bit close to White, I find that Green's traditionalism is severely underplayed in modern Magic, relegated only to "MAGIC IS AN ABOMINATION" and "TECHNOLOGY SUCKS" (probably due to its closeness with White ideals of order). With the central theme of Bequeath in the set, I'm including flavoring more green cards to play up self-improvement, determinism, and traditionalism, since they're closely aligned with Confucianism. Wuxia and Xianxia usually draw upon Taoist and Buddhist philosophy, but I'd like to cover all ancient Chinese philosophies.
