Arcana Chance

Arcana Chance is a special event in Persona 4 which occurs after a successful Shuffle Time (including Blank Cards). Arcana Chance will bestow certain effects, depending on the alignment of the Arcana Card; 'Upright' results in a positive effect, while 'Reverse' yields a negative effect.
Generally, the effect will last through 3-5 separate occurrences from which its conditions were triggered (i.e. successfully completing a battle or Shuffle Time sequence), otherwise the effect will wear off after a prolonged period of time. Temporary effects will be replaced by any subsequent temporary Arcana Chance effects.

;Hierophant
:The Hierophant effect lasts only until the next Arcana Card is played out. This means that the effect of the newly drawn Arcana Card will replace the effect of the Hierophant as normal. Note that the upright Hierophant does not guarantee that the next Arcana Card will end up in the upright position.
