Thirteen

Nimbus

Shards of a broken mirror slowly orbit around Thirteen, both large and small. Each shard reflects the image of a different symbol of bad luck. Black cats, crows, upside down horseshoes, cracked tea cups, spilled salt, broken clocks and more. Most notable are multiple iterations of the number 13, in different colors and fonts. When she uses Vulgar magic, the shards orbit faster, flashing dangerously like spinning knives.
