[NO BARKLEY NO PEACE]

Super quick situation summary (not a recap because there's way too much to recap): Aaron entered Land of Dungeons and Darkness, ZENO proved stairs were unsafe, Harriett had a log-ass chat with Kyle, Kekhet jumped through a portal and recruited Zach's help to heal her lusus, and the troll sonorousPhantasm, AKA Rewach Psikhe, started a chain of trollings that ballooned into making a group of trolls play Sgrub, using the disks he had burned (two of which had made their way to Kekhet through indirect means) following the orders of a mysterious informant.

The Agent:

Name: Takedown Strike
EP Value: N/A
Target: Self
MP Cost: 25% Ability MP Cost.
Effect: Increases numerical values by 25%, and durations by 1 turn. If your MP is too low to use your ability, points will be siphoned from your HP to pay for the leftover costs.
Description: Efficient. Resourceful. Deadly. Performing a Takedown is no easy task. Good thing they called in a specialist.

The Seeker:

Finish your abilities and get in contact with me ASAP, Maniac. We will assign them a level-up value.

The Maid:

Kekhet begins play with only one pool of 40 BP. To compensate, however, she starts with 25 EP. I will get the Elementskills up tomorrow.

How does my status as Seer impact the availability of NCAs? Does that translate directly to a point increase?

Element 17: Rage

An often misunderstood element, Rage is truly destructive. It can never preserve, if not for the short term, and its goal is to bring devastation to all who oppose it. This does not mean that Rage automatically dooms a session when it shows up: quite the opposite, in fact. It is important to understand that Rage can be controlled. It can be harnessed. And it can, to speak bluntly, rip **** up. Archagents and Monarchs quake in fear when a Hero of Rage stares them down.

Element Bonus:

Lesser Furysmashes and Lesser Angerdrives become available. In some cases, Greater Furysmashes and Greater Angerdrives may become available.
