List of the Major Arcana
Major Arcana (大アルカナ, Dai Arukana) is part of the Tarocco, referring to the cards 0-21. The holders of these cards possess great and unmeasurable powers with infinite potential, but using these powers comes with a price.
Each card possesses two names; the regular name is generally used to refer to the card itself, while the Italian name is used to refer to the consciousness that resides in said card. Italian names are also used to refer to the contractors during repentances.
