Braxton Hall was your average low-level wizard; he had a small store in a modest part of town, selling and repairing magical trinkets and the like. Sometimes he'd even prepare a scroll or potion for the odd customer who needed a bit more oomf. One day, while he preparing a scroll of Explosive Runes for a jilted lover, his elbow knocked over a bottle of his patented Love Potion No. 9 (which usually worked... if you could get the target to drink something that looked and smelled remarkably like bile). He frantically attempted to clean up the mess, but some of the potion sunk into the scroll and he couldn't seem to get it out. Frustrated, he finished the Explosive Runes and gave his customer her scroll. A few days later, she came rushing back in yammering something about his scroll being even better than she thought. When he calmed her down and sorted it out, he discovered that her lover had, instead of being scorched in the face, fallen madly in love with her again, and proposed to her on the spot. Hall thought this was odd, until he remembered the potion... a gleam in his eye, he tried to recreate the scroll. After a few tries, he perfected his new creation and began marketing it under the name of Hall's Marks. As word spread, people began to flock to Hall's store, demanding these Hall's Marks. To meet demand, he was able to create a simpler form of the scroll; a card. Thus, Hall's Marks Cards was born. For the lucky inventor, he never had to tend his store again. Instead, he raked in the massive profits and began collecting a rather impressive harem... all of whom he claims were attracted to him naturally.
