Overview

Enhancements are permanent boosts to powers. There are three main types of enhancements: Training enhancements, Dual-Origin enhancements, and Single-Origin enhancements. Training enhancements are usable by any characters. Dual-Origin and Single-Origin enhancements are only usable by characters of specific origins. Within each type of enhancement, there are 26 different aspect enhancements. Each aspect is categorized under different Schedules.
