A stabilized, versatile state of distilled anima, an "Anima Echo" is the primary output of Soulforging. It exists in a potential state, ready to be manifested into either a focused explosion (a Blue Flame Blessing) or a spectral protector (a Blue Flame Spirit).

Player-Facing Rules & Mechanics

  • Creation: Anima Echoes are standard consumables crafted using Soul Favor and soul-forged vessels, channeled through Plavi's Soul-Forged Bracelet.
  • Manifestation: As an action, an Anima Echo can be activated to manifest as either a Blue Flame Blessing (grenade) or a Blue Flame Spirit (summon).
  • Stability Limit (Capacity): Plavi's capacity is equal to her Proficiency Bonus (Current Limit: 3 Echoes).

Anima Echo Manifestations: Blue Flame Spirits

When manifested as a spirit, the echo provides a specific benefit based on the chosen shade.

Crafting Costs (Consumables)

For the full details on modifiers and forges, see the Soulforging document.

  • The Consumable Rule: As consumables, the costs and limits below are already halved (compared to permanent items). This sets the Base requirement for these items.
  • Fixed Session Limits: These session limits represent the absolute minimum real-world time required and are not further reduced by forge speed-ups or downtime.
  • Adventuring Progress: Plavi's Road Work Ahead ability grants Full Progress (1x Speed) while adventuring.
