Etheric Technique Info

  • Most Etheric techniques require Etheric or an equivalent effect to be active, and consumes 1 energy of the effect per use. Unlike for most cases, Slags Poisoning cannot be used as a substitute.
  • Other Etheric techniques require a special item or effect to be used - see table below.
  • The Blood of the Ancients effect increases the power of some, but not all, Etheric techniques.*
