A '''Spell Counter''' ({{ruby|魔|ま}}{{ruby|力|りょく}}カウンター ''Maryoku Kauntā'') is a specific type of [[counter]] that can be placed on certain cards whose effect allows them to gain Spell Counters. Such cards usually have an effect that allows them to gain Spell Counters whenever used by a [[Spell Card]] is activated, such as "[[Skilled Dark Magician]]" (although there are exceptions, such as "[[Alchemist variety of Black Spells]]" and "[[Breaker the Magical Warrior]]"). Other cards, such as "[[Pitch-Black Power Stone]]", have effects that allow them to place Spell Counters on other cards.
There is a "[[Spell Counter (card)|Spell Counter]]" card that officially represents Spell Counters. == Effect ==Spell Counters themselves do not have an effect, but many cards have effects that require Spell Counters .
