The Evil Wizard draws a random CT using the ‘Timer’ and/or ‘Rotation’ mechanics. Once drawn the EW can
check the type but keeps it secret. To activate, at various moments throughout the Quest (see table), call out
the tokens name, reveal it to the Heroes and implement the effect. Multiples can be held but only one activated
at a time, discard after use. Heroes may know how many are held but not the type. Timer is optional.
