Rouse Cards

The are mystical cards used by the Riders of Kamen Rider Blade.
==Overview==
Rouse Cards are obtained when an Undead has been defeated, which is indicated when their Ouroboros Buckle opens revealing what category and suit they belong to, and has been sealed away by either a Rider using a Proper Blank card (labeled specifically for the Undead), Common Blank card (no labels, can be use for any Undead), or the Stone of Sealing. Normally, Category 2-Queen Cards have the Ouroboros patch on the picture of the species which they resemble; Category King and Ace cards instead feature their suit's symbol in a silhouette of the animal.
The cards are categorized into Categories, the exact same way the Undead are: Aces, the Numbers (2-10), and the Royal Club (Jacks, Queens, & Kings). They are also categorized into 4 suits: the Spades, the Diamonds, the Hearts, and the Clubs. The Joker Cards, the Wild Card, the Mighty cards used by Kamen Riders Glaive, Lance, and Larc, and the Vanity Card created by merging the four Category King Cards belong to none of these categories or suits.
There are two types of Rouse Cards. The is the cards with corresponding suits of Riders that obtained by sealing the undead with Proper Blank and is the cards without corresponding suits that obtained by sealing the Undead with a Common Blank. The Wild Vesta will become Prime Vesta if the cards is used by the Rider with corresponding suits.
Each Rouse Card allows the Riders access to the powers of the Undeads sealed within them. Rouse Cards need AP to be used, the amount of which is needed for the card to be used is located on the right side of the card just below the Undead's picture. Riders can gain AP by fighting an opponent while wearing their Rider suit and the amount of AP they have accumulated is gauged by a digital counter located somewhere on their weapons. While seen and occasionally mentioned, the AP counter and its usage is never a major plot point during battles.
The only Cards that don't use AP are Category Ace cards used to transform, and the Royal Club Cards which serve to increase a Riders' AP count. Category Joker Undeads can also use Rouse Cards to assume the form of the Undead that is sealed within the card and access all of their powers.
After Kenzaki mutated into another Joker Undead to put the Battle Fight at a stalemate, the Rouse Cards were safeguarded and locked away in a briefcase kept by Kei Karasuma, with the exception of the Spirit Card kept by Hajime Aikawa to maintain his humanity. However, the Rouse Cards would be retrieved again by the Riders for use, as seen in further crossovers.

==Decade==
==Wizard==
The Rouse Cards, along with the other Rider Powers, were stolen from Blade by Amadum in the world within the Magic Stone, who explained that they were already his due to the Riders' powers being from the same source as evil. However, the power was soon returned thanks to the appearance of Kamen Rider Gaim, with the return of the Rouse Cards immediately transforming Blade into King Form. 
==Notes==
*These are the second of four Collectible Devices to be cards, succeeding Advent Cards and preceding Rider Cards and Ride Chemy Cards.
*Each of the Categories of Rouse Cards represent a common theme or ability:
**Category Ace: Allows the user to transform.
**Category 2: Enhances the Rouzer's main ability (with the exception of the Suit of Hearts' Spirit card, which uniquely allows Chalice to transform back into Hajime).
**Category 3: Increases the power of hand/arm attacks.
**Category 4: Increases mobility.
**Category 5: Strengthens leg attacks.
**Category 6: Elemental-based abilities.
**Category 7: Biological abilities.
**Category 8: Utility-based abilities
**Category 9: Elusive abilities (with the exception of the Suit of Hearts' Recover Camel card, which heals the user instead).
**Category 10: Special abilities.
**Category Jack: Assumes Jack Form.
**Category Queen: Enables form-changing.
**Category King: Enables the ability to evolve.
*Hypothetically, barring Wild Chalice, the suit design of King Form cards for the other Riders would likely be similar to their respective Royal Club Undead cards, as the suit design for Blade's King Form cards matches that of the Royal Club Undead cards.
