**Qu** is a breach mage from The Ancients expansion.

## Mage Overview

Daughter of Xaxos, Qu has always felt just as at home in the Void as in Gravehold. She feels a pull to escape into the Void, and yet recognizes and marvels in the beauty of Gravehold and humans. Qu balances these dual realities within her with much care. This double-nature is represented by Qu's two forms; Builder Form and Destroyer Form. Qu's Form card is placed onto the blank space of her mage mat, Destroyer Form face up at the start of a game. The only ways that Qu may flip forms is with  (part of Qu's starting hand) or Qu's special ability. While in destroyer form, all spells cast by Qu deal 1 additional damage, but all gems grant 1 less  (to a minimum of 0). While in Builder Form, all spells cast by Qu deal 1 less damage (to a minimum of 0), while all gems grant 1 additional .

### Ability

You may spend 5 charges during your main phase to activate your ability.
If you are in Destroyer form, resolve the following:

* Cast up to two different spells. These spells may have been prepped by any number of players, to any number of breaches (as long as the total number of chosen spells is not greater than two). When casting another player's spell, you act as the 'you' referred to on that spell, not the owner of the spell. The spell is discarded as normal to the owner's discard pile.
* Flip over the Form token.

If you are in Builder form, resolve the following instead:

* Any one player may search their discard pile for up to two spells and prep those spells to their own opened breaches, following normal prepping rules.
* Flip over your Form token.

## Setup

Qu begins the game with the Form token orientated such that the Destroyer Form is face up.

### Breach Setup

Qu starts with one open breach and three closed breaches in the following orientations.

## Lore

> "*Even though he was my father, I never really knew Xaxos. Not like some of his old friends here in Gravehold. Growing up, I could tell I was looking at the shell of a man. I was seeing someone desperately trying to piece himself back together, to regain something lost, to return to the man he was before. I never met the man my father was. The Void changes people. I should know, I lived my whole life there. I wonder, now, if the Nameless fight and kill because the very essence of their world drives them to it. Bloodlust permeates the air, twisting their minds. Or perhaps it is the emptiness, the barren nothing they are born into forces them into action. Growing up here, I understand what drives them towards the portals. The first time I saw a breach open I dropped everything. I didn't stop to think about my father, his research, our home, or my things. Everything paled in comparison to the potential to escape. I doubt he will ever even notice I am gone. Time is warped, it passes differently inside the Void. I don't know how old I am, or how long I have been gone, or where my place is in this strange world. But I know New Gravehold is beautiful. Humans are beautiful. Perhaps it is because of my humanity that I can control the Void energy that has consumed my entire life. I've embraced my rage, channeled my hurt, and funneled my passion outward into strength. I will not let the Nameless have this world too, not when I have only just found it.*"
