Useful Notes

• The Arcanist is seen visiting two players in the same night.
• Be aware that some cards can represent two different things (not at the same time). You will need to figure out what aspect of the player's role is being shown by the card.
• You will only get the "No card drawn" result if the alignment, killer status and magician status independently match. Therefore, a card would be drawn if a Militia and a Ghoul were checked.
