| Name | Subname | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Socialise | (Name of Link) | You choose one Social Link to improve. The Social Link improves by a single rank, reflected in a roleplay. Socialising with a Social Link provides the following benefits: it reduces your stress by the new level of your Link/2, you can transfer a power from a Minor Persona to a Major Persona, and you increase your Realisation if your link levels up. Every time you level up a link, you gain +100 XP. Each individual can only be socialised with once per week. |
| Shadow Market | See Below | Instead of improving your Social Links, you attend the Shadow Market, trading away memories for favours. You pick one of the following options below: |
| - | Generate Persona | You generate a Persona that belongs to your Primary Arcana, of a grade equal or below your Evoker Rank. |
| - | Generate Spell or Art Gem | You generate one copy of the Spell Gem or Art Gem item. The Spell or Art must be one possessed by your Major Persona. |
| - | Chaos Proof | You may take one item or tool that usually would not work in the Sea of Chaos, such as electronics. It will now function within the Sea of Chaos. Furthermore, if damaged it can be repaired with meditation. However, it cannot communicate with objects outside of the Sea. |
