- Supply cards. The spells, gems, relics and other player cards that the Outer Dark adds to the supply are not in the scans. Starting-hand and starting-deck cards named on the mage cards (Crystal, Twin Opal, Spark, Void Shard) are not described here; their rules text is on the cards themselves.

- Nemesis tokens. The Thrice-Dead Prophet and Wraithmonger rules refer to nemesis tokens and charges. The token artwork is not in the scans.
- Symbol-only level markers. The level markers (I to IV) at the top of the Indira and Remnant mage cards are symbol-only. Only Remnant's level II marker has printed text, and it is transcribed above. The other markers were not identified and are not transcribed.
