Effect Tree Decay

A character who neglects an effect tree may opt to forget it. This requires sacrificing one Mastery Point in the effect tree per day, until the entry effect is reached, at which point the player can reclaim their Experience Points. During this period, none of the effects in the tree can be used, or it will pause the decay of the effect tree for that day.

Consult with your Game Master, this is our standard, we want our characters to be persistent, but we know that change happens.

Mastery

The successful execution of an action grants a mastery point that may be applied to the effect tree used. Failed effect usage does not grant a point.

Mastery Points only may be applied to effect tree that the effect used. Many different effects can come from the same tree, and all of them apply to that one tree.

Mastery Points cap when the effect tree is maxed out. Sometimes effect trees will get expansion passes. Points will resume accumulation when your Game Master okays adding the new content to their campaign.
