The idea is something like the 4-element pillars, but for different groups of elements, and as pendulums.

These pendulums would alternate:
- 2 quanta at random from the theme group (of 4 choices)
- Mark quantum (or quanta for rainbow mark)

Upgraded versions would give 1 random quanta from the theme group when played.


Some theme ideas:

- Unseelie ( :death :water :darkness :air)
- Seelie ( :life :light :fire  :aether)

- Mausoleum ( :earth :death :time :gravity)
- Caldera ( :earth :fire :darkness :time)

- Observatory (  :air :gravity :light :darkness)
- Laboratory (  :entropy :life :death :water)

Not really sure about balance but it would be neat to have some options for thematic multi-colored decks.

The idea is that the pendulum gives slightly less output than a 4-color pillar (which gives 1.666 per turn rather than 1.5) in trade for slightly more color control.

Not sure which combos must be avoided for balance. Thoughts?
