Life Powers (FiD)

Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page

Main Page is Powers Life power is about life energy. You heal and improve living things.

This is life and life-force at the primal level; the essential principle that fuels all creatures, empowered and mundane. It is at the opposite scale of the evolution from Mind, which deals in intelligence, yet Mind could not exist without it. It is the antithesis of death, but without death it would become static.

Life attacks causes wounds to spontaneously appear on living things and undead but does nothing to things that never lived.

Life is a wide but diffuse energy, there are no life creatures.
