Normally, my lores are all so long you need a magnyfying glass to read them. However, as you will soon notice, most of the "great" cards (rated by fellow members) have [b]very[/b] long and somewhat interesting lores. But in order to shorten it, get rid of the crap you don't need and leave only a few lines. For example:

My old card had this effect.

Lore:This card can only be summoned from your hand when the opponent has 4000 or more Life Points. You can pay 2000 Life Points to decrease the ATK of all LIGHT monsters by 1000. If the ATK of a LIGHT monster is decreased to 0, destroy that card. Inflict 200 damage to the opponent for every LIGHT monster destroyed by this effect. This card is removed from play during the End Phase of the turn it was summoned. [/spoiler]

Heck, that was long, right? And the first line was quite stupid. So I trimmed it down quite a bit.

Lore:This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand during your opponent's End Phase when your opponent has inflicted 4000 or more Battle Damage to you. You can pay 3000 Life Points to destroy all cards on the field, except this card. [/spoiler]

So all you need to do is change the lore a bit and you should be able to shorten down a lot of stuff. Hope I helped.

Then you have a problem the Card Maker automatically makes the font smaller, so you can't do anything.

Well, knowing how should an official-like lore look like, my cards' lore would be a smaller novel each, cuz, even if the effect is simple, it needs a long explanation and stuff.

Well, that depends on the Effect in the Lore. But, if its to big to be read, you could just do this:


Here is a card I made recently.

Now, its lore is to big to see normally. So you would do this.

Lore: This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Summoned by playing Bllbo Baggins, Frodo Baggins, or Golem. If this card is chosen as an Attack Target, Roll a 6-Sided Die. The following effects correspond with the numbers on the die:
1- Special Summon Ring Wraith to the Field.
2- Choose 1 card your opponent controls. You can control that card until your End-Phase.
3- If there are more than 3 Cards on your opponents side of the Field, Summon 3 Warrior-Type monsters to your side (Excluding Special Summons).
4- Choose 1 card your opponent controls. That card loses all of its ATK and DEF until your next End Phase.
5- All Orc Archetypes gain 300 ATK.
6- If your Life Points are more than 500, negate this effect. Gain 2000 Life Points.


Hope I helped!
