The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Curie temperature is named after Pierre Curie, who showed that magnetism is lost at a critical temperature.
- The force of magnetism is determined by the magnetic moment, a dipole moment within an atom that originates from the angular momentum and spin of electrons.
- Materials have different structures of intrinsic magnetic moments that depend on temperature, the Curie temperature is the critical point at which a material's intrinsic magnetic moments change direction.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Curie temperature article was read about 77,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 89: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Curie temperature
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
