Ink Color Guide
Introduction
Disney Lorcana's cards come in 6 magic inks. The official website provides a short introduction to each color, but if you're new to the game or coming from another Trading Card Game, you may find them all a bit confusing. We've replicated the official guidance here, and where we thought it appropriate, we added our own notes, based on our own insights and experience (no, we don't have insider knowledge - we're just players like you).
Ink Colors
Illumineers use six magical inks to summon glimmers of Disney characters. Learn what sets these inks apart from each other and how they affect glimmers in Lorcana.
No ink is innately good or evil, and both heroes and villains can be found in all six inks.
Amber
Amber glimmers are purposeful. Patient and dedicated, they’re able to pursue causes and ambitions with single-minded persistence. They often work within communities, either from above as a leader or from within as a healer, bodyguard, or just a loyal follower.
Amethyst
Amethyst glimmers are wondrous, for this is the otherworldly ink of sorcerers, sages, animated objects, and other glimmers who use their special powers to achieve their aims. They are incredibly powerful when they have access to their amazing abilities but may land in trouble if they’re stripped of those or tap into power they can’t control.
Emerald
Emerald glimmers are flexible. Gifted with the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, they are never caught off guard. Quick-thinking but not necessarily book-smart, they navigate their environment—whether physical or social, natural or artificial—with ease.
Ruby
Ruby glimmers are daring. They use their speed and bravery to defy the odds. They are often warriors, explorers, and daredevils.
Sapphire
Sapphire glimmers are intellectual. Intelligent and creative, they excel at strategy, invention, and the arts. They can almost always know something, plan something, or invent something that will win the day.
Steel
Steel glimmers are strong. Large and imposing, armored, or just plain powerful, Steel glimmers can apply huge amounts of brute force to get the job done.
