- ATK

- 41,000
Power 117 (ATK + DEF): stronger than 65 % of WikiCards cards.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- An imprecise but systematic determination of the magnitude of objects was introduced in ancient times by Hipparchus.
- Magnitude values do not have a unit.
- The scale is logarithmic and defined such that a magnitude 1 star is exactly 100 times brighter than a magnitude 6 star.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Magnitude article was read about 41,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Magnitude
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.
