``::??Y888888888P??::'' ``:::::::::'' Original symbols are from Magic: The Gathering Revised Edition and are (c) copyright 1993, 1994 by Wizards of the Coast. ASCII renderings by Alan De Smet. Images are used without permission, but it's not like I'm making a profit from them, so please don't sue me. (Of course, it wouldn't matter, I'm broke anyway...) A note on the "smoothness" of the images. You may look at a picture and note that it isn't symmetrical and therefore must be wrong. Nope. I very carefully rendered these. Take a good close look at the blue mana drop and the white mana star on a card. They aren't symmetrical, they are uneven and varient. (In some ways I wish the symbols were symmetrical, it would have made making the white mana symbol soooo much easier.) I'm not real happy with my use of ? to indicate that the upper portion of the image is dark and the lower isn't, but ~, ^, and " looked worse. I'd love to here suggestions and see improvements. I'm also not real happy with the Blue Mana symbol. Ah well. Finallly, although I don't know who designed them, I'd like to thank this mystery person who created these little dingbats which help make Magic the game it is. I never realized how much detail is in these little circles until I tried to reproduce them at 25x80 resolution.
