Editing LeviathanTempest:ChapterThree (section)

=== Benefits of Sheol ===

* Sheol determines both how much Ichor the Leviathan is capable of channeling and the rate at which he can expend it. Leviathans may spend a portion of their Ichor with confident assurance of their ability, but they may also push beyond this safe limit to tap their power more swiftly - but such rapid expenditure risks an Outburst.

* Sheol provides a cap on the natural limits of the Leviathan's Skills, as well as the Attributes of his mortal form. While transformative powers can push a Leviathan beyond his form's limits, there is a limit to how much alteration they can provide, while a Leviathan with a truly exceptional connection to his bloodline might manifest superhuman traits without transformation.

* Sheol is involved in the rolls for most supernatural actions - the use of Channels and transformation. It also provides insulation against psychic tampering by other supernatural entities.

* As Sheol grows, so too does the maximum extent of the Wake. The Wake's direct effects are only felt fully when in the presence of the Leviathan, but they impose subtle psychic pressure on all those within the maximum extent. This also provides the limits of many supernatural abilities. 

* The higher that a Leviathan's Sheol grows, the more efficacious his bloodline becomes for supernatural purposes such as the creation of Hybrids.
