# Restoration and Chi Economy
Chi-based healing, recovery, and energy transfer/management reference.
### Chi Healing
- Definition: Heal using chi.
- Capabilities: Restore self and others using chi as healing medium.
- Applications: Chi Regeneration, Curing, Rejuvenation, Restoration
- Limitations: Overuse may exhaust or injure practitioner. Disrupting chi flow weakens healing. Building reserves for effective healing requires time.
### Chi Regeneration
- Definition: Use chi to regenerate body. Amount of chi used defines healing speed.
- Capabilities: Accelerated healing proportional to chi invested. Self-healing and potentially healing others.
- Applications: Regenerative Healing Factor, Regenerative Durability
- Limitations: Depends on available chi reserves. Depleting chi impairs/prevents regeneration.
### Chi Absorption
- Definition: Absorb chi from sources and utilize it.
- Capabilities: Extract chi, remove from origin, incorporate into body. Gain enhanced condition, powers, or energy reserves (temp or permanent).
- Applications: Cultivation, Power Absorption (chi-only), Strength Absorption
- Limitations: Finite absorption capacity; excessive causes explosions. Removing too much damages victim. Absorption Immunity/Negation counters.
### Chi Bestowal
- Definition: Grant chi-based powers to others, temporarily or permanently.
- Capabilities: Transfer chi abilities to others. Extent depends on bestower's mastery.
- Limitations: Cannot be self-applied. Effects may be temporary. Typically draining. Chi influx can be uncontrollable. May be reversed by destroying source. Excessive use can be fatal.
### Chi Transferal

- Limitations: Prolonged outpouring of one's chi can lead to death.
### Chi Mixture
- Definition: Blend different chi affinities to modulate group power output.
- Capabilities: Merge chi from multiple sources into unified force. Drastically increase combined output. Potentially acquire new abilities through fusion.
- Limitations: Unification may require time to establish.
### Chi Symbiosis
- Definition: Symbiotic relationship with a chi-based entity.
- Capabilities: Enhanced strength through chi concentration. Mental protection. Access to chi-based powers. Increased reserves. Soul-bound connection.
- Applications: Possessive Enhancement, Enhanced Condition
- Limitations: Risk of mental damage. Potential loss of bodily control. Entity may possess user. Limited capacity for multiple entities. Power could drive to insanity.
