Each Character starts with 2 Energy Cards. Whenever you need to pay Energy (for example by casting a Spell): you discard that number of Energy Cards.
Use your Energy
You can use your Energy to:
- Pay 1 Energy — Change a Prepared Actions with another Action.
- Pay 1 Energy — React to another Creature’s Action. Perform a Prepared Action before that Creature finishes its Action, possibly changing the outcome.
- Pay X Energy — Cast a spell that costs X pts.
Regaining Energy
The only way to regain the Energy you have Discarded is to Rest.
Meditating
You can increase your Energy by Meditating.
Temporary Energy
Although rare, some sources like a Night of Absolute Rest will give you some Temporary Energy:
- When you need to pay some Energy, you’ll first use your Temporary Energy Cards instead of your normal Energy Cards.
- Temporary Energy Cards, do NOT go to your Discard Pile, instead return them to your GM.
