Lucia draws a random tarot card from the ones in her possession (she begins with just five, the remainder are found through exploration, or enemy drops) resulting in either a positive, party-boosting effect, or a negative "Reverse" effect (potentially even KO'ing the party).
This is further augmented by the "Special" effect, which quadruples the effect of the drawn card. However this also applies to Reverse cards.
In several Special Reverses, the party can be instantly killed, without exception, and not even Leonardo's Bear/Crucifixes can protect them.
