Synergy Reservoir (Divine Anima)

The character gains a Well (and supplementary Pool) of Anima associated with divine energy called Synergy. This energy is also used to make and/or trigger Divine Empowered Items and Places. The reservoir can suffer Synergy Corruption from several external sources. The act of manifesting specific Divine Power/Capability using Synergy (see hereafter) is referred to as Adjuration.

Learning: In addition to other requirements, the entity acquiring it must find some way to learn to do so; The Anima Reservoir’s have a standard means of doing this. Natural [Aptitude] Talents automatically gain this Feature if they have Divine Talent.
