4 -- Borrowed Power Rules

-Borrowed Power, also called 'Charyeok' or God Point (G.P.) means to borrow strength from gods or avatars. To learn the ability of Borrowed Power, one must first see it in action, and learn how to bargain with their god or avatar. At a certain point, Borrowed Power becomes a very commonplace thing to have to fight. The hard part about dealing with Borrowed Power is that it has no designated form, and it is completely up to the user's imagination what form their Borrowed Power will take.

-There are four known variations of Borrowed Power forms:

1. Weapon Enhancement - As the name suggests, the Borrowed Power surrounds the user's weapon, enhancing its natural capabilities.
   
2. Summoning - The most common variant, the user summons their Borrowed Power in a form separate from themselves, having abilities separate from the user. They can also be equipped to the user, altering their appearance, and enhancing their natural skills.
   
3. Parasitic - A rare form of Borrowed Power which lives on the user and grows as it is used. The more it grows the more powerful it becomes, though once it has spread completely, the carrier will die. Usually these are pretty powerful to begin with. It requires administrative approval to have a Parasitic Borrowed Power.
   
4. Key - An even rarer form of Borrowed Power which is known as Key, which is very similar to Parasitic, transforming the user and manifesting abilities based on the Borrowed Power. However, it requires a contract with a Borrowed Power to be made before one is even a user, most often at birth or early childhood. It doesn't kill the user to use. There is a limit to the number of people who may become Keys.
   

-In order to obtain Borrowed Power, one must be taught how it works through an instructive thread with someone who can already use it, at at least Physical Level 7. This is one of two way to make it to Physical Level 8. The other way being a training thread involving it being revealed that you're Mutu Clan member. If you've done either of these at Physical Level 7, you will level up to Physical Level 8.

-If one opts to be a Mutu Clan member, they cannot ever use Borrowed Power, and gain the stat points that the Borrowed Power would be attaining. Mutu clansmen may be selected to become Keys, but it may not be requested and only staff may offer it. (The player need not accept if they do not wish it)

-Do note that Borrowed Power abilities are most often a 'Per 1 GP' basis, meaning that each GP spent using the Move adds the listed effects, so a move that generates 5 swords for 1 GP can generate 10 for 2 GP. The cap on GP spent for those techniques is roughly double the tier (exceptions will likely be made)

Some moves that are more powerful may cost larger set amounts of GP to begin with, such as a move that fires a concentrated energy beam costing 20 GP per blast. These moves usually cost more due to area of effect, lethal capabilities, and such. For ever doubling of a base cost, a character is treated as 1 level higher for damage calculation purposes, so a base cost 2 would treat them as one higher, 4 cost would be 2, and 10 cost would be 3, 20 cost would be 4 etc etc. You cannot bypass your own tier by doing this so you will get into metaphorical levels (fighter level 12). Your move may not multiply cost more times than its tier. (So the cap on base cost is 2000 gp)
