Yes!! That's it, I'm sure. Thank you so much!
I guess I'll think of a cool signature... someday.
There was this anime I remember from my childhood where the characters would battle using cards that had kanji relating to different "elements" (as in, water and fire and such.)
They did not summon any creatures as far as I remember, just stuff like waves of water. The kanji on the cards glowed brightly when they were activated. They might have used some sort of device to scan the cards, although I'm not sure of that part.
There was an airship battle at some point, and I think there was some evil organization against the heroes, too.
