Anima Energy Reservoirs
Posted on September 28, 2022 in Feature
Anima Energy Reservoirs represent an anima energy used to boost, leverage, reveal and express related aptitude (Divine, Kinetic, Occult, Psychic, etc.) powers of The Pattern. Reservoirs are the foundation of Aptitude Talent. Entity’s with Essence, Anima Objects, or Empowered Items and Places may possess these reservoirs and can be tapped into consciously. Almost everything has minute traces of anima locked away and unavailable for conscious use. Reservoirs may be modified through Saturation and corruption factors. Natural [Aptitude] Talents automatically gain this Feature in their related Aptitude, without having to pay any extra cost. Phenomenological Lores grant an awareness of related Anima Reservoirs.
Anima Reservoir Forms
Anima Reservoirs have both a Well and Pool aspect.
- Anima Well: A reservoir of aptitude/spark based energy that replenishes over time by itself.
“Spent<.mark>” Anima is an amount used to activate or trigger an effect. - Anima Pool: A reservoir of aptitude/spark based energy that does not replenish over time by itself. It can be refilled/replaced, but generally, anything in it once used, is gone forever. Any character with a Anima Well, has a related Anima Pool of the same type.
Anima Reservoir Uses
- Power Activation – Item, Personal, Place, etc.
- All Anima types may be used as a Simple Boosts for spells/powers related to the reservoir. By default, the amount that can be used on any given power is limited to 1, adjusted by the type of boost, and the governing aptitude measure.
- With requisite “Material Empowerment” knowledge, it may be used to substitute for a Mystic Focus Point Item or basic Materials for Casting if such is required and not present.
Learning/Acquiring this Capability and Related Aspects
Acquiring: 2 CP OR 1 Essence cost; Inherent by Species; An Actuated Awareness trigger.
Learning this Feature typically requires either a Primer or an Instructor (personal or Institutional) or must be unlocked through powerful Meditation. The Meditative elements that empower it are tied to the Good Standing status of Institutional members, and once a member leaves they cannot continue affixed them. It takes time and is a service often charged for. If through a Primer, it requires related Phenomenological Lore or tutelage represented as experience at Character Inception. Learning powerful and difficult Rituals and Ceremonies may Actuate and/or contribute to the energy pools for Chi, Focus, Mana, and/or Synergy. If successful, the character gains an Initial Potential:

Obsessive Student
Posted on December 28, 2021
Deep Dive: Any studying, processing a question, or reading takes twice the amount of time due to the proclivities of their intense ways of intaking information and processing it. It will get read multiple times before they are ready to answer questions about it. It can be infuriating to those seeking quick answers. Research takes either twice as long, or 4x as much cost.
Deep Uptake: Your experience over time increases your uptake and integration of what you study, and you are assumed to be constantly seeking out materials related to it (books, story-tellers, online materials, media materials, etc.) as part of daily activities to improve the confidence and precision of the knowledge over time.
