Cantrip Spell Card Game Template
by ShuffleKit
A spell card set for a casual duelling card game: Cinder, Gleam, Thorn, Brine and Hex fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. A single rendered object floats on a saturated colour ground under a burst of rays, with the school's emblem on a disc in one top corner and the cost on a cream diamond in the other. A parchment panel across the bottom drips the school's colour over its top edge and carries the name in capitals, the rules centred beneath it, and a line of flavour text in the footer. The frame is built from editable shapes, so the ground, the drips and the emblem are fills you can recolour, and the school you pick for a card chooses its front. Comes with a ten-card sample deck of spells.

Adding a template copies its designs, fields, and sample cards into your own project. Your copy is yours, and later changes by the author never touch it.
What’s in Cantrip Spell Card Game Template
Six designs: Cinder Spell Card, Gleam Spell Card, Thorn Spell Card, Brine Spell Card, Hex Spell Card and Card Back.
Your cards live in a sheet, one row each, with a column for every field the designs read: Name, Artwork, Cost, Description, Flavor Text and School. Ten of those rows arrive filled in, so there is something on the design before you type a word.
Read the ten sample cards
| Name | Cost | Description | Flavor Text | School |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ashfall | 3 | Deal three damage to every creature your opponent controls. At the start of your next turn the ash settles and deals one more damage to each of them that is still standing on the board. | Nobody sweeps up after a wizard. | Cinder |
| Short Fuse | 1 | Deal two damage to any one target. If you cast this on the same turn you cast another Cinder spell, deal four damage to that target instead. | Lit it, then read the label. | Cinder |
| Lamplight | 2 | Look at the top three cards of your deck. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom in any order. Every player may see the card you took. | Small light, long shadow. | Gleam |
| Payday | 4 | Take one spark for every creature you control, up to a maximum of five. Spend them before the end of this turn or lose them, and no card your opponent plays can take them from you. | Spend it before it spends you. | Gleam |
| Thorn Lock | 2 | Bind any one creature. It cannot attack, block or leave the board until its controller spends three sparks at the start of a turn to cut it free. | Struggling only tightens it. | Thorn |
| Toadstools | 3 | Put three toadstool tokens on the board. While you control one of them, every creature that deals damage to you takes one damage back from the spores at the end of the turn. | Delicious. Once. | Thorn |
| Bottled Storm | 4 | Return every creature with a cost of three or less to its owner's hand. Each player then draws one card for every creature they took back this way. | Do not open below deck. | Brine |
| Deep Draw | 1 | Draw two cards, then put one card from your hand on the bottom of your deck. If your hand was empty when you cast this spell, draw one more instead. | Read fast, the ink runs. | Brine |
| Mirror Match | 2 | Copy the effect of any spell already cast this turn. Pay nothing for the copy and choose new targets for it, but you may not copy a spell that copies a spell. | Flattery, with interest. | Hex |
| Skeleton Key | 3 | Take any one card from your opponent's hand without looking at the rest of it. You may cast that card this turn for one spark less than it costs. | Fits every lock it has never seen. | Hex |
Printing at poker size
Poker: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI.
On the Hobby plan, export a print-ready PDF with bleed and cut lines. PNG and SVG come out at the same size, which is what Tabletop Simulator wants. On Indie, send it to a print-on-demand partner through Print & Ship.
A printer asks for an eighth of an inch of bleed on every edge on top of those numbers, so this card goes out as 825 × 1125. The export adds it. Let the artwork run into the bleed and keep the text inside the cut line, and nothing arrives trimmed.

Questions about Cantrip Spell Card Game Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
What happens when I add Cantrip Spell Card Game Template to a project?
The six designs, the six fields and the ten sample cards are copied into a project of yours, with the fields already pointed at the design. Nothing stays linked to this page afterwards, so the author's later edits never reach your copy.
What size does Cantrip Spell Card Game Template print at?
Poker size: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI. Those are the numbers to hand a print shop, and the ones to check a sleeve against.
Is Cantrip Spell Card Game Template free?
Yes. Adding it, editing it, filling it with your own cards and playtesting it online are all free. Exporting print files starts on the Hobby plan, and Print & Ship through The Game Crafter is on Indie. No template sits behind a paid plan.
Can I change the designs?
Yes. They land in your project as ordinary layouts, so you can drag an element somewhere else, put your own art behind the frame, restyle the type or rename a field. Edit a design once and every card on it follows.
Can I use my own cards instead of the samples?
Yes — the samples are rows in a sheet, and they are there to be overwritten. Type over them, add rows of your own, or bring a CSV and match its headers to the fields.
Can I sell a game made with Cantrip Spell Card Game Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
Ready to build your card game?
This template is free, and so is the editor it opens in.
