Essentia: The energy that the character uses primarily to manifest their power. Generally it takes 1 or more essentia point to use a power other than very weak tricks. Additional essentia can be used to add some oomph to a power usage. To get the full normal power of a power use ten essentia is required. The maximum essentia the character can use in one instance is equal to ten times the tier. Essentia is based on adding up all mental stats. Essentia can also be used to activate some magically imbued items and such.

 

Essentia Exchange: A character can grant essence directly to another empowered being but it is far less efficient than stored essentia. The recipient must be willing and for the donating character it is 5 AP action. The most they can grant is equal to their highest power stat and they must use up one essentia for each two granted.

 

Essentia Enhancing: By using more than is needed to activate a power, or even an item, the empowered character can go beyond the normal effect. The rule of thumb is that up to double the essentia can be used for up to double the effect. This is left mostly up to the Narrator to determine how effective extra essentia is.
