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

  • Definition: Transfer chi between objects and people.
  • Capabilities: Transfuse chi between beings. Bequeath, modify, share power. Remote or tactile. Works on organisms and objects. Counter afflictions.
  • Applications: Chi Healing, Power Sharing, Power Transferal, Personality Sharing
  • 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.
