Stellaration is the force emanating from playing cards, and sensed by fortune tellers while they are reading cards.

History

Amos Fortune discovered the force and a means to channel it. With his stellaration machine, he imbued the astral force into playing cards to weaponize them. When they were dealt to someone, that person was enthralled by whatever the card signified, such as sorrow, disagreement, confusion, betrayal or sickness.

Notes

The Stimuluck Machine debuted in Justice League of America Vol 1 6; the Stellaration, the principle behind it, was named firstly in Justice League of America Vol 1 43. If we consider Stellaration to be the principle behind other probability-altering machines, the first appearance of the concept is even earlier. A criminal named Brantz built such device in Strange Adventures Vol 1 32, 1953.
