Charge

Some abilities may have their per-life or per-refresh uses restored after they are consumed. These abilities are denoted with the word “Charge” and a number after them. In order to gain an additional per-life or per-refresh use of a Charge ability the Charge Incantation must be repeated in full the number of times indicated by number after Charge. For instance an ability labeled ‘Charge x3’ requires three full repetitions of the Charge Incantation in order to regain a use.

1. Once an ability has been Charged, it may then be held for later use in the same game. Once it is used you may then Charge it again for another use.
2. Stating the name of an ability to charge does not activate that ability.
3. Any Incantation to activate a Charged ability is separate from the Charge Incantation.
4. Charges for per-refresh abilities carry between lives; a per-refresh ability Charged on a previous life and not used can be used on the next life.
5. The ability being Charged must be designated at the beginning of the Charge.
6. Only abilities which may be Charged can benefit from Innate, Steal Life Essence, etc.

Charge Incantation

The Incantation that is used to Charge an ability. A single ‘Charge Incantation’ is repeating the following phrase:

Out of battle I pause to rest.
I take some time to catch my breath.
Return to me my fleeting power.

To aid me in my darkest hour.
