When player gains energy, it’s accumulated towards an energy point. When **X** amount of energy is gained, the player is rewarded one energy point. This process can be achieved **X** amount of times. After the maximum amount of energy points is gained, no further energy can be gained.

Skills cost energy points. When using a skill, the amount of points indicated are subtracted, not the amount of energy.

{% hint style="info" %}
*Example: The player hits the enemy to gain 20 points of energy, what amounts to exactly **1** energy point. After that, they hit the opponent for an extra 15 points of energy, 5 points shy from a second energy point. The player then can use a skill that costs **1** energy point, and if they tried to use a skill that uses **2** energy points, it would be invalid.*
