I hope you like them guys, positive suggestions and criticisms accepted, meaningless ranting is not

[Pepperyena]

Oh, it seems like you're specifically stating that they become "Normal" monsters.

In that case, I have something to say about certain cards:

Dharle basically does not gain or lose anything to activate his effect,

Harsh Light is too powerful and probably needs archetype-specific costs,

and Herlhe is pretty much useless, I suppose. Unless you make use of the spells/traps, 500 direct damage is weak.

I could give a detailed review of this, but that'd take me ages and I have to edit this post before I die. >w<

[TekFish]

OK I added a 'except this card' clause into Darlhe's effect, I added a cost into Harsh Light and I raised Herlhe's ATK by 500. Anything else I could do to balance it?

Name : Ilum, Mage of the Lumini
ATK/DEF 1300/400
Level 3
Spellcaster/Effect
LIGHT

Effect:
Once per turn, you can reveal 1 'Sacred Amulet of the Lumini' from your hand and send it to the graveyard to activate this effect, select 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field, negate it's effect and treat it as a Normal Monster, until the end phase of your opponent's next turn. You must reduce this card's ATK by 500, until your opponents next End Phase to resolve this effect.

[i]Once per turn: you can discard 1 'Sacred Amulet of the Lumini' to the graveyard to target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; reduce this card's ATK by 500 (until your opponent's next End Phase) and if you do, negate that target's effects and treat it as a Normal Monster, until your opponent's next End Phase.[/i]

Omit "to the graveyard" in the first sentence if you do not want to require the discarded card to reach the graveyard to make the effect activtateable. As is, you can't activate the effect if Macrocosmos or a card with a similar effect ([i]any card that would be sent to the graveyard is banished instead[/i]) is activate.

This card turns your opponent's cards into vanillas [vanilla = slang for normal monster] to enable the other lumini to use thier effects right? Great addtion because the opponnet most likey won't be using any vanillas, I might make the discard a little bit more generic then 1 specfic card though. Maybe 1 card type (spell card for example), or 1 "Lumini" monster instead of 1 specific card bacause I am sure that you'll need this card's effect alot in a lumini deck.

my recomendation:
[i]Once per turn: you can discard 1 card to target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; reduce this card's ATK by 500 (until your opponent's next End Phase) and if you do, negate that target's effects and treat it as a Normal Monster, until your opponent's next End Phase.[/i]

Effect:

[i]If your opponent controls a Normal Monster, you can special summon this card (from your hand). If you do, this card loses 500 ATK until your opponent's next End Phase.[/i]


Good idea, but don't forget to make lumini synchro(s) if you haven't already

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Taro, Strategist of the Lumini
ATK/DEF 1500/1500
Level 4
Spellcaster/Effect
LIGHT

Effect:
Once per turn, you can place 1 level 3 or lower 'Lumini' Monster on the top of your deck. You must reduce this card's ATK by 500, until your opponent's next End Phase to resolve this effect.


I can't rate or correct this until I know where the placed monster comes from. Graveyard maybe?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name, Nimhe, Warrior of the Lumini
ATK/DEF 2000/800
Level 4
Warrior/Effect
LIGHT

Effect:
Once per turn, when this card attacks, or is attacked by a Normal Monster you can make that Monster's ATK and DEF become 0. You must reduce this card's ATK by 500, until your opponent's next End Phase to resolve this effect.


[i]Once per turn when this card battles a Normal Monster, during damage calculation: you can reduce this card's ATK by 500 (until your opponent's next End Phase) and if you do, make that Monster's ATK and DEF 0.[/i]

It has 2000 ATK with is decent, but not overpowered on its own. The effect only being useable in a lumini deck makes this card balanced.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Dithe, Vanguard of the Lumini
ATK/DEF 500/2100
Level 4

Warrior/Effect
LIGHT

Effect:
Once per turn, when a 'Lumini' monster is attacked by a Normal Monster you can negate the attack. You must reduce this card's ATK by 500, until your opponent's next End Phase to resolve this effect.


[i]Once per turn, when a 'Lumini' monster is targeted for an attack by Normal Monster: you can reduce this card's ATK by 500 (until your opponent's next End Phase) and if you do negate that attack.[/i]


Maybe add a clause like "When this card is normal summoned: you can change it to defense position" so that this card can be in face-up defense position more easily
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Behm, Scout of the Lumini
ATK/DEF 800/300
Level 1
Warrior/Tuner
LIGHT

Effect:
Once per turn, if your opponent controls a Normal Monster, you can randomly select card's in his hand equal to the number of normal monsters he controls. Look at those cards and send one to the graveyard, return the other cards to your opponent's hand. You must reduce this card's ATK by 500, until your opponent's next End Phase to resolve this effect.


[i]Once per turn, if your opponent controls a Normal Monster: you can reduce this card's ATK by 500 (until your opponent's next End Phase) and if you do, randomly look at cards in your opponent's hand up to the number of normal monsters they control and send one of those cards to the graveyard.[/i]

The last clause about returning the cards to the hand is uneeded since they never left the hand (deck would be a different story). I like it, and its balanced because of the low stats and since its hard to get more then 2 cards off of it.

Name: Infa, Assassin of the Lumini
ATK/DEF 1700/300
Level 3
Warrior/Tuner
LIGHT

Effect:
Once per turn, if your opponent controls a Normal Monster with ATK less than or equal to this card, you can destroy that card. You must reduce this card's ATK by 500, until your opponent's next End Phase to resolve this effect.


[i]Once per turn, you can target 1 Normal Monster with ATK less than or equal to this card's ATK: reduce this card's ATK by 500 (until your opponent's next End Phase) and if you do, destroy that target (no matter its ATK). [/i]


Maybe have this compare its ATK to the other monster's DEF? That way it can destroy more things then it could before.

my recomendation:
[i]Once per turn, you can target 1 Normal Monster with DEF less than or equal to this card's ATK: reduce this card's ATK by 500 (until your opponent's next End Phase) and if you do, destroy that target (no matter its DEF). [/i]

I like the idea, but from what I saw, you need more cards like ilum that can turn opponent's cards into vanilllas, otherwise your going to have a hard tme winning with these cards.

Out of time, sorry!
