SPECTRAL SURGE
As Revenant’s continue to use their abilities, a build up of Somnium energy occurs within the body. This process is dubbed “Spectral Genesis”, the soul’s natural attempt to fully encompass one form of soul over the other when unbalanced. To assist in equalizing the soul, the body releases Somnium energy in specialized bursts which have been dubbed “Spectral Surges”. These Surges have unintentional benefits such as boosts in strength or quicker reflexes.
There are three Surge trackers which each earn points for doing specific actions. You may only fill up one track at a time, if you wish to switch you have to remove all points from the previous track. All Tracks begin with a maximum of 5 Points, but this can be increased through EXP Advancement. You may spend these points on special buffs and abilities listed below the track. Only 1 point may be earned in a turn. Unless stated otherwise, these buffs are stackable and usable multiple times. Each effect only lasts for one turn.

SPECTRAL BURST
When a Revenant retains too much power, their bodies will be unable to release small surges of energy. At this point, they have two options. Allow miniscule amounts of energy to flow out until stable levels have been obtained, or perform a Spectral Burst. When a Spectral Burst occurs the Human soul is overtaken for a short while by their Spectre, resulting in a powerful but highly dangerous transformation. The effects of this transformation lasts for 3 turns, after which the user may attempt to continue the transformation at the cost of their physical health.
Shared effects of The Spectral Burst are as follows:
Add an extra amount of health equal to your Toughness mod x2. This may surpass your base health.
Weaponry may no longer be used
Hands will gain the stats of a specific weapon depending on the Spectre type
Warfare Melee is increased by +30 (Not surpassing 95)
Revenant ability evolves into a superior form.
Each Spectre has their own special effects during the Spectral Surge, these can be found below.
SOUL TEARING
When a Revenant remains transformed for too long, their human soul will have quite a bit of difficulty returning to proper balance. Though it is possible and fairly common to return to soul equilibrium, the process results in a loss of Somnium energy. This loss can be very crippling, but with proper training and rehabilitation it can be removed.
Upon transforming, you have a 10% chance of losing 1 Advancement in a characteristic. After three turns, this 10% chance will begin to increase.
