Maximum EP are 10 if in possession of Weak levels of magic, 20 if in Moderate levels of magic, 50 if in Strong levels of magic, and almost unlimited if in Pure levels of magic. | *Magic is not based on fatigue.

| + | *Weak gives the following modifiers: First of all, all activation rolls are at 11 (-20%) to use any ability. Second of all, if you spend 5 energy points or more, the spell will cost 1 Energy per use or per minute (-10%), as well as 1 HP damage on a failure, and 1d HP damage on a critical failure (-2%). Second of all, if spending a FULL 10 points, a failure results in 1d HP damage, and a heart attack (!) on a critical failure. (-6%) Lastly, it has Takes Extra Time 1 (-10%), and takes a second to cast. Some abilities may take longer. | ||
