Ectoplasm

Ancient

You can no longer gain Gold. Gain at the start of each turn.

Ectoplasm sets every Gold gain to zero, whatever the source, and raises your maximum Energy by 1 for every turn of every combat. Gold you already hold is untouched and can still be spent. The relic flashes each time a gain is cancelled. Because the gain is zeroed before it is applied, relics that trigger on gaining Gold never fire. It is offered by Darv.

When to take Ectoplasm

Take it when your Gold is spent or few shops remain, a permanent extra Energy is among the strongest effects there is. Early on, with shops ahead, the lost income is a real cost.
