Abilities:

1. I - The Magician - The user controls the wind in order to damage the opponent. Can be used automatically

2 . II - The Emperor - The user controls multiple shards of ice, being able to use them in order to attack multiple enemies. Can be used automatically

3. III - The Hermit - The user uses this in order to increase agility, and to heal up allies. Takes 5 seconds to be used

4. IV - The Star - The user increases their attack and speed in order to match the speed of light, to do a barrage of punches. This can be used with multiple weapons. This takes 15 seconds to use. Can be used on other allies

5.  V - The Moon - The user submerges the are with darkness, with the only light source available is the moon shining down. Takes a minute to be used

6 . VI - The Sun - The user controls fire. That's it. Can be used automatically

7 . VII - Aeon - The user is able to change weather (think Weather Report, but without the insanity of it. The effects are only up to 15 meters.). Although this can be used automatically, after 1 use, it will take 2 hours in order to use it again.

(Yeah that changed practically nothing, it's still way too overpowered. First off that's way too many different abilities for one stand to have. Cut it down to 4. Secondly each of these abilities is powerful in their own right, something that would be a normal stand's only ability. So because Hooded Cards has multiple abilities you need to put some counter balance in the form of restrictions or drawbacks. For example:

Hooded Cards - The user is able to use one of four different abilities, though only one ability can be used at a time.

1. The Wand - Can control the wind to push back enemies and move certain objects, but only in a 5 meter radius around the user.

''2. The Sword - Can summon at maximum of 3 shards of ice at a time and launch them at a target. They move quickly through the air but are very brittle''

3. The Cup - Can heal certain non-fatal injuries of the user or friendlies in a 2 meter radius.

''4. The Pentacle - Can increase the speed and reaction time of the user to superhuman human levels. ''

I changed the name of the abilites to the suits from the Minor Arcana tarot cards, namely the Latin variants, so it doesn't use names of already existing stands like: Magician's Red, The Emperor, Hermit Purple, Star Platinum, Dark Blue Moon and The Sun. Plus with four abilities it makes more sense to name them after the suits and not the actual cards.

You don't have to use those abilities, those are just a suggestion of 4 different balanced powers for Hooded Cards to have.)
