I designed this card in my favorite weekly meeting, the Card Design Workshop. This is a sort of "club" that any WotC employee who is interested in MTG card design may attend to flex their creative muscles.

Each week we get a prompt for some design hole that needs new ideas. On August 13, 2021, the workshop got this prompt:

Card details: A blue rare enchantment, instant, or sorcery. Its name is “Signature Spells.” We’re looking for a top-down design of a Wizard ability in D&D.

It is how Scryfall was handling Alchemy sets. "A" was already taken by Art Series cards.

She only can't block if you Specialize her from the graveyard. She can Specialize without penalty from the battlefield as normal. #wotc_staff
