Anima

Catch fate with a lure, and let it slip out of your hands again.

In Last Odyssey, the Heroes are able to wield the power of magic. Run-of-the-mill abilities are powered by Mana, but the most potent form of magic is instead powered by Anima, which manipulates fate in a way that only Heroes and Antagonists can achieve. Throughout this text, you will see the word “Anima” represented by the symbol 🜉. In order to summon their eidolon and to use certain abilities, characters must spend 🜉. 🜉 finds its expression through the actions of the PCs and their eidolons, and in the existence of Villains and Monsters. 🜉 is not good or bad, but simply powerful. There is no way to destroy 🜉 without also destroying life itself.
