Meditation

Meditation attempts to harmonize the mind and body with its position in the time-space of The Pattern around it, in order to unlock, clear, rejuvenate or impress some notion or feature. A Character suffering from Nightmares cannot Meditate. Meditation is also the foundation for species and creatures that do not take material sleep or rest to gain an equivalent experience – such as those connected to The World Beyond (ex: The Body Beyond, The Mind Beyond, etc.). Mystic Reservoirs also rely on Meditation to affix elements in them.

Frame of Reference: All Skills are bound by the character's Setting (physics), and the details that their culture/society's Science (gathered by Technology), direct experience, and/or collective Records are capable of revealing. A character may not be able to apply their full measure on a different world, with different species and tools. With a common frame of reference, multiple specific Lores can stack.

Meditative Regeneration:

Upright Mind: The Upright Mind can restore measures of disorientation taken from psychic attacks.

Silent Mind: Sequesters the ego and provides a limited or no target for psychic powers. This prevents the user from using any psychic powers of their own in while this is in effect.
