Atua: Mana

Mana is the cultivated and possessed authority, honor, control, influence, prestige, and power inherent within binding physical and social ties. It’s a spiritual energy that resides in all people and things in nature and can be gained and lost by an individual’s Deeds and the Deeds of others. Mana is also the recognized ability to perform an action, as an expression of spiritual and social strength. It’s related to yet distinct from Legend — and as a descendant of a God, the focus of a community, and the performer of great Deeds, a Demigod’s mana is invariably potent.

KUMARA’S SWEETNESS

Through righteous actions, you may gain mana, and recognize it within others. Once per session, whenever you successfully complete a Deed, or when you perform a scene-long action that falls within the conceptual scope of the Fertility or War Purviews, you may choose to either regain one point of Legend or add four Momentum to the pool. Completion of a Failure Deed, even a successful completion, does not award these benefits.

PONO

• The Collateral Pool loses up to three dice. This effect only occurs once per scene.
• The character may choose another character with whom they have a Bond and “share” one of their Legendary Titles; by imbuing 1 Legend, actions taken in line with the Legendary Title may benefit from the Atua Scion’s Scale. Either the Atua Scion or the beneficiary may pay this Legend cost.
• As a final benefit, while under the effects of this Boon, your player may grant two Momentum per turn to another player per turn rather than one.
