Capacitor

DefectPowerUncommon
Gain 2 Orb Slots.

A 1-cost Power that adds 2 Orb Slots (3 upgraded) for the combat, up to a hard cap of 10 slots. The Defect starts with 3, so one Capacitor gives 5. More slots mean Orbs stay Channeled longer before the leftmost is Evoked, so passive effects trigger for more turns.
