Old Art Information Pre-SoT

(WARNING: Pre-SoT) Focus and Cost: SoulMaster Minor - 1 Resilience Orbit Acquired: (Given) Affected: One Mare Essence or one Prime Artifact. Duration: Immediate Description: Removes 1 strength from the essence and transfers it to the evoker's selected stat. Plateau Effect: +1 stat transfer (still a 1 to 1 transfer ratio. If your art is at 20, you still only get 1 point from a 1 strength essence) Art Research: N/A Art History: Before the Great Loss, the powerful SoulMasters of the house would bear the House Artifact with them into battle and set it up in a nearby sanctuary. The SoulMasters of the House would go forth and use their power to restore their fellows and would retreat to the Sanctuary and use the Art of Drain Essence to draw power from the House artifact then they grew weak. Notes: This art it loathed by some of the Houses, who believe that draining the essence destroys the soul within.
