===Essence Pool===

Essence is not ‘spent’, but is instead committed.  Allocating Essence Pool to a charm commits that essence to the charm.  The charm remains active until it is released, at which point the character immediately regains the use of that part of the pool.  There is no ‘refresh time’.  De-allocated essence pool is recovered immediately.  Essence commitment is reflexive, meaning any charm possessed by a character can be brought online, even out of turn-order, assuming the character has enough Essence Pool remaining.  While in combat rounds, committed Essence Pool can only be freed at the beginning of your action.  When you do this, you may release any number of active charms, and de-attune artifacts if you so choose, in order to immediately regain the use of those committed points.

A character’s current total Essence Pool is as follows:
