10.8.5 Eidolic Spirit
Spirit is the resource tithed from areas via Eidolic Influence. Spirit of Fear is generated via conquering areas. Spirit of Gratitude is generated via the liberation acts. Both funnel into the city via the font and can be used as Spirit. Each area conquered will generate Spirit monthly; this will be tithed to the conquering state at the end of the month. There are diminishing returns, so bigger isn't always better on paper. If you conquer an area that you have laid out in the Doctrine as a conquest objective, that area will generate a bonus amount of Spirit. The various quests that aim towards liberation/morale boosting will generate Spirit of Gratitude. This is cached in the area until it is liberated and then awarded to the liberator at the end of the month. Liberation itself also generates Spirit from a liberated area. If you liberate an area you have laid out in the Doctrine as a protection objective, that area will generate a bonus amount of Spirit for you. Spirit can be spent on a variety of rewards for your city. Some of these rewards are gated by the number of areas held in conquest. When the city has gained enough Spirit, the City Leader or Defence Minister can use the following commands to spend it. CITY SPIRIT INVEST <powername> - To use a power. CITY SPIRIT INVESTMENTS - To see the power list. CITY SPIRIT INVESTMENTS <powername> - To see the specifics of a power. - You must have reached the required areas held at a minimum before you can see a power's details. CITY SPIRIT RENEW <investment> - This will cause the investment to renew itself when it fades automatically. - This can be used with the EMPOWER, SLAUGHTER, and MAINTAIN investments. - In the case of MAINTAIN, the power is reactivated when the repair happens (if the power is off cooldown), or when the cooldown ends if a maintain is not pending. - To toggle the renewal OFF, simply repeat the command for the investment currently being renewed (i.e. If MAINTAIN is being renewed, to turn it off, use CITY SPIRIT RENEW MAINTAIN) CITY SPIRIT RELINQUISH - This will cost all of your accumulated spirit, and at your next Eidolic Phase, your spirit will return to its corporeal form, and all conquered areas will be relinquished. - This command can only be executed by the City Leader in the War Room. - Using this command means that the spirit of your Guardian will need to be resummoned from scratch if you wish to venture forth again. CITY SPIRIT STATUS - This will show the current spirit amount, any active investments, and any investments that are on cooldown. 0 - 4 areas held in conquest EMPOWER - 100 Spirit SLAUGHTER - 100 Spirit PARADIGM - 150 Spirit PROPAGANDA - 200 Spirit TELEPORT - 500 Spirit MAINTAIN - 500 Spirit RELIEF - 1000 Spirit ADAPTATION - 1000 Spirit EXPANSION - 20000 Spirit 5 - 14 areas held in conquest DEFIANCE - 5000 Spirit BRIDGE - 7500 Spirit 15 - 24 areas held in conquest ENLIVEN - 500 Spirit FORTIFY - 3000 Spirit FLAME - 3000 Spirit 25+ areas held, with the largest current territory count.
