Essence ofConnections

A glass mug with a heart imprinted on its surface. Tastes like friendship, and something more.

• You are imbued with the power of Connections, a powerful source of infinite energy now roils within you heart.

• While Connections is infinite how much power you can draw from it is not. Connections work through the link shared between relationships.

• It is possible for you to form a link with anything and everything, as long as it is meaningful in some way to you. This could be friendships, romantic lovers, a favorite movie or even a particular meal at a restaurant that you liked a little.

• The more meaningful the bond, both ways, the stronger the power you can draw from Connections. Meaningful relates to both you and the target itself, so if the target is inanimate you will be the one providing most of the power to the link. A mutual love interest will provide a magnitude higher than one-sided pining, but both would create a link that could be empowered.

• You are able to reinforce the power of your link by further interacting with the target of the link. Each instance of interaction working to increase how much power could be drawn from Connections through that link.

• By choosing to empower a link with the power of Connections, you gain two distinct power relating to that link, one power is an active while the other a passive. Actives need to activated while passives work without needing input from you. You are able to turn on and off any passive if you so choose.

• The kind of power created is entirely dependent on the target of the link, while how powerful it is depends on how much it draws from Connections.

• The feeling of establishing a link feels like a rush of euphoria, like reexperiencing the best parts of the relationship all over again, all compacted into a single moment. The target of the link will not feel this establishment unless you want them to.

• You are able to grant both passive and active to the target of the link, if doing so their use of either will not detract from your share of the link.

• A link, once established will never degrade no matter what happens to the relationship that you share with the target. Its power will stay even if the target had been taken away by the whims of time.

• This power is yours and yours alone, and cannot be taken from you in any way unless willingly under a clear mind. That said, should you wish to share it you can do so fully and utterly, creating a new source of Connections within any that you choose.

• As a bonus, you have been granted complete and utter freedom from the forces of ennui or boredom, able to experience all the joys of life without degradation. Every good moment will stay just as good for you, at a minimum. This power too, is free to share as you wish.
