Line 59:		Line 59:

	== Level 0 [0 Shards] ==		== Level 0 [0 Shards] ==
	At Level 0, the ~~Blood~~ Affliction represents the ~~raw, uncontrolled state~~ of ~~the~~ Companion~~'s connection to blood energy. It manifests as~~ an ~~insatiable hunger~~, ~~making~~ the ~~Companion volatile and difficult to control~~. While ~~the~~ Affliction ~~provides a glimpse of its power~~, it ~~is predominantly a burden at this stage~~.		At Level 0, the Frost Affliction represents a raw and unrefined link to the elemental forces of ice and cold. The Companion exudes an unsettling chill, and their presence hints at the untapped power of winter storms. While this Affliction is both awe-inspiring and volatile, it carries practical potential even in its infancy.

	<u>Capabilities:</u>		<u>Capabilities:</u>

	* '''~~Heightened Awareness:~~''' The Companion ~~develops an acute sense of nearby life forms through~~ their ~~blood~~, ~~enabling them to detect living beings within~~ a ~~moderate radius~~. This ~~may manifest as a "sense"~~ of ~~heartbeats or pulses~~.		* '''Shiverstrike''': The Companion channels their latent cold into their physical attacks, leaving a biting frost that slows their target’s movements or reflexes briefly. This chill can affect flesh, armor, or even machinery, showing the creeping power of frost.
	* '''~~Shared Sense of Danger:~~''' ~~Their~~ partner gains a subtle ~~awareness of threats through~~ their ~~connection to the Companion; for example~~, ~~they might experience a faint tingling~~ or ~~general sense of unease when blood is spilled nearby~~.		* '''Icy Resonance''': The partner gains a subtle, adaptive benefit: a sharper focus or steadier aim in tense moments, as if the Companion’s chill steadies their nerves. This calming influence works even in high-pressure situations, such as combat or perilous exploration.

	<u>Difficulties:</u>		<u>Difficulties:</u>

	* '''~~Voracious Hunger:~~''' The Companion ~~experiences a relentless drive to consume blood essence~~. ~~This compulsion can make them unpredictable~~, ~~especially in the presence of wounded allies or enemies~~.		* '''Chill Unbound''': The Companion radiates uncontrolled cold, making physical closeness uncomfortable for prolonged periods. Metal items held nearby may grow frost-coated, and liquids may freeze if left exposed too long.
	* '''~~Unstable Vitality:~~''' The Companion’s ~~physical resilience is compromised; they are prone~~ to ~~exhaustion~~ and ~~recover health more slowly without direct access~~ to ~~blood essence~~.		* '''Frozen Resolve''': The Companion’s aloofness can make them harder to bond with, requiring patience and understanding to earn their trust and cooperation.
	* '''~~Feral Instincts:~~''' ~~The Companion’s instincts may overpower~~ their ~~bond with~~ their ~~partner, making them harder to command or reason with during moments of stress or hunger~~.		* '''Icy Vulnerabilities''': While the Companion thrives in cooler temperatures, heat saps their energy. Prolonged exposure to high heat dulls their reflexes and sharpens their discomfort.

	<u>Quirks & Cosmetic Changes ''(optional)'':</u>		<u>Quirks & Cosmetic Changes ''(optional)'':</u>

	* ~~A faint crimson hue~~ may ~~shimmer across the Companion’s eyes, claws,~~ or ~~scales, becoming~~ more pronounced when ~~they sense blood~~.		* Their body glitters faintly with frost, as if they’ve stepped from a fresh snowfall. This shimmer may fade in heat or grow more pronounced when stressed.
	* ~~The Companion might exude a faint metallic scent that others can detect when close~~.		* A light fog seems to cling to their form, trailing behind them as they move and evoking the feeling of winter mornings.
	* Subtle patterns ~~resembling veins or blood vessels may appear on~~ their ~~skin~~, ~~fur~~, or scales, ~~flickering faintly when their instincts are triggered~~.		* Subtle frost patterns, like intricate fractals, spread across their fur, feathers, or scales, catching the light in iridescent blue and white.

	== Level I [100 Shards] ==		== Level I [100 Shards] ==
	At Level 1, the ~~Companion begins to harness the primal instincts of their Blood~~ Affliction ~~with~~ a ~~slight increase in control~~. The ~~overwhelming hunger~~ and ~~feral nature that defined Level 0 have begun to subside~~, ~~though they remain present as challenges. Capabilities from Level 0 are refined~~ and ~~incorporated into new, more stable abilities that reflect the Companion's growing potential~~.		At Level I, the Frost Affliction transitions into a more deliberate and refined form. The Companion gains greater control over their cold energy, allowing for creative and practical applications. Their connection with their partner strengthens, fostering resilience and synergy.

	<u>Capabilities:</u>		<u>Capabilities:</u>

	* '''~~Enhanced Awareness:~~''' ~~Building on their Level 0 instincts,~~ the ~~Companion’s~~ ability to ~~sense nearby life forms becomes sharper and more precise. They can now differentiate between individual presences within their radius~~, such as ~~identifying the size~~ or ~~relative vitality of a creature~~. ~~This heightened perception remains invaluable~~ for ~~tracking~~ or ~~detecting enemies and allies~~.		* '''Frostcraft''': The Companion gains the ability to manipulate ambient moisture, forming small frost constructs such as icy barriers, spikes, or decorative patterns. These structures are fragile but useful for combat, exploration, or creating minor distractions.
	* '''~~Blood Resonance:~~''' The Companion ~~develops the ability to passively absorb vitality from fresh blood spills (e.g~~., ~~during combat). This small recovery of stamina or energy strengthens their endurance~~ in ~~prolonged encounters and provides a minor way to satisfy~~ their ~~hunger~~.		* '''Chilling Glare''': The Companion can direct their icy energy into a focused stare that briefly disorients or slows a target. This piercing gaze appears as an unnatural, frosty glow in their eyes, instilling hesitation or unease.
	* '''~~Shared Sense of Danger:~~''' The ~~subtle awareness of blood~~-~~related threats persists~~ and ~~strengthens~~. ~~Their partner now receives clearer and more consistent warnings when danger is near, such as sharper instincts~~ or ~~more pronounced unease when danger is nearby~~.		* '''Winter’s Vigil''': The Companion’s bond with their partner provides a steadying influence, granting mild resistance to cold-based attacks and environmental effects. This ability ensures protection in harsh climates or during elemental confrontations.
	* '''~~Shared Vitality:~~''' ~~When in close proximity to the Companion~~, ~~their partner passively benefits from improved stamina recovery~~. This ~~reflects the growing synchronization of their bond, as the Companion’s blood energy stabilizes and begins to extend outward~~.		* '''Frozen Step''': The partner’s movements become subtly imbued with a frosty precision, leaving faint ice trails that cause slick terrain underfoot for a short time. This creates potential hazards for enemies pursuing them while granting strategic opportunities during encounters.

	<u>Difficulties:</u>		<u>Difficulties:</u>

	* '''~~Lingering Hunger:~~''' ~~While~~ the ~~craving for blood has lessened since Level 0, it still remains a persistent challenge. Companions who fail~~ to ~~feed for extended periods will experience a gradual decline in effectiveness, such as reduced accuracy~~ or ~~slower movement~~, ~~reflecting~~ their ~~reliance on blood energy to sustain themselves~~.		* '''Fragile Frost''': Frost structures created by the Companion are delicate and prone to shattering under pressure or heat, limiting their durability in chaotic scenarios.
	* '''~~Blood Bond Dependency:~~''' The Companion’s increasing ~~reliance on~~ their ~~bond with their partner makes prolonged separation destabilizing~~. ~~This may result in amplified feral tendencies~~ or ~~heightened hunger effects when~~ their ~~partner is absent for too long~~.		* '''Frostbound Energy''': The Companion’s increasing attunement to cold amplifies their sensitivity to heat. Prolonged exposure to fire or high temperatures drains their energy, making them more vulnerable in such conditions.

	<u>Quirks & Cosmetic Changes ''(optional)'':</u>		<u>Quirks & Cosmetic Changes ''(optional)'':</u>

	* ~~Their claws~~, ~~fangs~~, or ~~equivalent appendages may begin to take on a faint, ruby-like sheen, hinting at their growing connection to blood energy~~.		* A perpetual, icy mist clings to the Companion’s form, swirling faintly around them during moments of focus or emotional intensity.
	* ~~A subtle pulsating glow might ripple through the vein-like~~ patterns on their body ~~whenever they absorb vitality~~, ~~offering a visual cue of~~ their ~~power~~.		* Frost patterns on their body become increasingly detailed, resembling intricate snowflakes or fractals that shift in color or size based on their mood.
	* ~~The metallic scent surrounding~~ the ~~Companion may become more pronounced after feeding~~, ~~detectable by nearby creatures or individuals with keen senses~~.		* Their voice carries a faint echo, as if layered with the soft murmur of a winter wind, giving it an eerie and captivating quality.

	== Level II [200 Shards] ==		== Level II [200 Shards] ==
	At Level II, the ~~Companion’s mastery over their Blood~~ Affliction ~~deepens~~, ~~allowing them~~ to ~~manipulate their blood~~ energy with ~~greater precision~~. Their ~~hunger becomes more manageable~~, while their ~~abilities grow in both scope and impact. The connection~~ with their partner ~~strengthens further, granting new cooperative advantages~~.		At Level II, the Frost Affliction manifests as a blend of precision and creativity, enabling the Companion to wield frost energy with deliberate intent. Their growing connection to the cold enhances their versatility and utility, while their bond with their partner becomes increasingly symbiotic.
