Frequently Asked Questions

Spirits and Innate Powers

• When Relentless Gaze of the Sun uses Consider a Harmonious Nature to destroy Presence instead of adding Blight, which Presence can it pick?
  It can destroy any of its own Presence anywhere on the island, which includes Presence in The Endless Dark.

  Gaze can't destroy Presence that's not on the island, including:

  • On its Presence Tracks
  • Removed from the game, e.g., by a Bargain
  • Under the effects of Absolute Stasis
  • On Serpent's Deep Slumber Track

• If Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island fills its Deep Slumber track (so only 13 is visible), does Absorb Essence still work?
  Yes. Put the Presence on the track, but don't cover any numbers. The Power otherwise works normally.

• How does Serpent Slumbering Beneath the Island work in a solo game?
  The Presence limit from its special rule Deep Slumber still applies. It can use Absorb Essence on itself [p. 22]. Presence on its Deep Slumber track is not "on the Island" and does not count against the limit. It cannot get a double benefit from the Serpent Wakes in Power innate power.
