Seven of Swords reveals how you are demonstrating sharp intellect. You possess a focused and determined attitude. Concentrating on a clear goal and doing whatever it takes to reach it. Winning a fight with the odds evenly balanced.

A man is carrying away five swords quickly. Two swords remain behind, stuck to the ground. The man carrying the swords away is wearing a mask, which is slipping off, revealing, quite possibly, another.
