Orbit

RegentPowerUncommon
Every 4 you spend,
gain .

A 2-Energy Power, 1 upgraded, that tracks the Energy you pay for cards.

  • Refund: 1 Energy every time the total crosses another multiple of 4.
  • Tally: runs across the whole combat, so leftover progress carries from turn to turn, and the Power's counter shows how much you still need to spend.
  • Only paid: Energy actually paid counts; free plays and Star costs add nothing.
  • Copies: a second copy runs its own tally.
