Potential Energy

Summary

Store generator repair progress as tokens and later spend them to instantly add the saved progress to another generator.

In-game description

Your arcane abilities have adapted to The Entity's Realm after centuries of wandering, granting you unprecedented control over its many devices.

Effect

While repairing a Generator, press the Active Ability button to Store Potential Energy:

Repair Charges no longer progress the Generator and are instead converted into Tokens:
- Gain 1 Token for the equivalent of 1 % Progression, up to a maximum of 10/15/20 Tokens.
Failed Repair Skill Checks incur a penalty depending on how many Tokens have been accumulated:
- Not at Token Limit: Reduces the number of accumulated Tokens by -20 %.
- At Token Limit: Regresses the Generator by -10 %.

Having accumulated at least 1 Token, press the Active Ability button again on the same or a different Generator to Release Potential Energy:

Potential Energy deactivates after use or losing a Health State by any means, and will lose all accumulated Tokens in case of the latter.
