Clearly I'm doing this wrong, name/theme wise- I used Google Translate/based it off the other Esprit Bird; shoosh.

Wiki says the Archetype is 'Esprit', so I'm going with that for the sake of This card.

Also, funk logic- This gives Spirits a 3rd fuckin' searcher/this card also works off the Ritual/can search Esprit Spell/Traps.

So, this should be able to pick Espirit Healing and the recently announced Powerspot. I don't know... I feel more searching isn't what Espirit needs, but instead more ways to Normal Summon additional Spirits in a turn. Even this card would join the list of Spirits that want to be extra Normal Summoned.

 

Anyway, I think something you can do for this card is to allow it to pick a Espirit card from the grave as well; it was reported in a thread in the Deck section that they ran out of Ritual Spells rather early to keep Summoning the Ritual Espirit who bounces back, so a way of recovering a copy back from the grave should be welcomed.

Update:

Card text no longer contradicts itself

Card now goes off when Summoned/flipped face-up

Card now searches from the Deck OR recovers from the Graveyard
