Power Category

How the people on Anasta understand and their choices to work with the memories of the past are a key point of potential and conflict. The memories of the Archons are found in their Moon Relics which, in turn, hold the memories of the original creation of the world. The powers associated with these memories are understood through the acts of the Twin Dragons.

There are six broad categories of Psionic Powers referred to as “Memories”: Memory of Light, Memory of Life, Memory of the Sky, Memory of the Sea, Memory of the Land, and Memory of the Unseen. These help to define the flavor of a Power and how it ties into the mythic domains of Anasta.

When creating a Psionic Power, choose one category to help describe how it manifests. Power category does not directly influence mechanical application, just the flavor and circumstance of its manifestation.

The Six Power Categories (Memories)

• Memory of Light
• Memory of Life
• Memory of the Sky
• Memory of the Sea
• Memory of the Land
• Memory of the Unseen

Memory of Light

This category of Power demonstrates the basic or raw manifestation of light, heat, and/or radiation. Powers of this category might produce intense flames, plasmas, energy beams, and electromagnetic phenomena.

Memory of Life

This category of Power alters the anatomy and/or the physiology of a bioform, creating, enhancing, or destroying limbs, organs, and biological functions. Resisting the elements, enhancing vision, or transforming into another creature are some examples of Memory of Life.

Memory of the Sky

This category of Power controls the air and the realm between the Land and the Heavens (the “High Sky”). Directing the wind, changing the density of air, and weather control are just a few potential ways this manifests.

Memory of the Sea

This category of Power influences water in all its forms, as well as the nature of the Sea between the Land and the Deep. Creating ice, breathing water, and hydrating/dehydrating bioforms fall under the umbrella of Memory of the Sea.

Memory of the Land

This category of Power affects most of the inorganic matter between Sea and Sky, including all minerals and metals. Creating metal objects, shaping rock and stone, and traveling through solid objects are all possibilities.

Memory of the Unseen

This category of Power manipulates the fabric of space and time, possibly creating, expanding, or destroying the distance between bioforms, speeding up or slowing down time, manipulating gravity, or even altering probabilities.
