ARChie’s Séance is ARC Library’s bookish tarot room. When it is available on your account, open it from the Reader navigation to find the Album, Draw, Séance, and Curiosity Shop.
Awaken the Reader’s Arcana
The Album holds 22 Major Arcana cards. Each card responds to a real reading deed, such as beginning a long-waiting ARC, publishing a review, or finishing a book outside your usual genres. Some deeds are detected from your Library activity; a small number ask for your word because ARC Library cannot observe them honestly.
An unawakened card keeps its identity hidden. You can see its numeral and ARChie’s clear hint, but not its name, deed, progress, rarity, or individual artwork. Select it to read the hint and see the next reading step ARChie suggests.
When a card awakens, it turns over in a short ceremony and joins the face-up cards on your table. The Threshold Key reveals its hand-drawn golden book-key, The Catalogue Moth reveals its purple moth resting on a catalogue card, and The Inkling carries ARC Library's familiar Catalogue quill and ink bottle. Select any awakened card to read its story, deed, arrival date, and the book connected to it when one was recorded.

The Draw chooses a book or reading prompt for you. Share a completed Draw to turn it into a story card. On Android, Save to device places that card in Pictures/ARC Library without opening the share sheet. A chosen book uses its cover, or the designed cover for your active theme when that artwork is missing or unavailable; prompt cards keep their own illustration or sigil. The Séance lays out Past, Present, and Future cards for a weekly reading moment. Completed Séance activities can award Moonstones, which belong to the Séance’s cosmetic collection rather than changing how reading achievements are earned.
Some rooms and rewards may arrive gradually or depend on the version available to your account. Your awakened cards and saved Séance progress stay attached to your profile across supported devices.
