Chakra

Chakras are glyphs that appear on the skin on various parts of body. They give benefits (and penalties) depending on their level of energy. When the energy level drops to zero, the chakra vanishes completely. Chakras seem to be mostly related to Attuned and Aligned, but can be acquired also by other means.

General Information
- Sacrifices to Eris (or equivalent effects from being the Hand of Eris)
- Sufficient Attunement (~75) and Meditation
- Consuming Wheel Lotuses
- Many Empathic Bond familiars grant chakras (all of the felines, some of the snakes) and automatically charge them
A chakra first appears as a glyph of a certain color. You can gain knowledge of specific chakras by the same means you identify other things with.
Chakras can be damaged in combat by certain esoteric forms of attack, and this damage represents a loss in charge. Chakras have the same affinities you do, so being attacked by a damage type that normally harms them won't do anything if you're completely unaffected by the attack.
Charging for non-Attuned
No longer are chakras charged by meditation. Now they are merely maintained by meditation, so that they do not decay while meditating. This change does not affect Attuned meditation mechanics. The only advice received for charging a chakra, outside of being Attuned, is to sacrifice frequently. NB: Many different empathic bond familiars will open and charge one or more chakras.
Charging for Attuned
Chakras are charged by meditating; resting without knowledge of the skill of Meditation will not charge it. A chakra will slowly lose charge as you adventure, and a totally drained chakra will disappear completely. If you sit around meditating for a while, it will gain a decent amount of charge (for the chakra related to your highest effective attribute), rather than lose it over that span of time. You will see a message displayed which tells you that your chakra is receiving spiritual energy. The only way to ascertain its charge strength is to observe the traits that it is affecting. When a chakra is fully charged you will no longer see the charge message displayed to you.
Charge Maximums
Chakras can do some amazing thing at a high enough charge, but at first you'll only be able to get them up to a certain level before they no longer charge any higher. These maximums can be raised by things such as attunement and gaining karma from traveler challenges, as well as other factors specific to certain chakras, such as the Muladhara chakra's maximum being increased by your Kali favor as a Nizari. If you are an aligned, the blossom form's flower can be used to artificially maximize a specific chakra's maximum for as long as you hold it. The padme and kalila chakra's maximums are affected by how much order or chaos favour you have, and require a very significant amount to reach the maximum.

- Ocean Blue
- Relates to order
- Boosts all attributes (by a very small amount)
- Provides situational awareness when almost fully charged
- Boosts order affinity significantly (50 on a full charge)
- Grants bonus to aging retardation, biology, cosmology, elder lore, introspection, mathematics, order affinity, physics, power direction, power focusing, power generation, power tuning, psychic integrity, redaction, somatesthesia and supernal durability
- Requires 9 Order favour to access. This is reduced by 1 for worshipping Axa or Yehovah, and 1 for every 100 attunement. Note that the reduction from worshipping Axa is not the same as the Order Favour that you get from the amulet of Axa: Being a Questor gets you 2 points closer.

- Random Color (Every character is a different color, it's really pretty)
- Relates to chaos
- Boosts all attributes
- Favoured by followers of Eris
- Increases luck (about 10 points when fully charged) ^
- Adds Regrowth
- Boosts alchemy, chaos affinity, courage, introspection, metacreativity, metamorphosis, metaphysics, musical composition, poetry, regeneration, sculpture and theurgy
- Requires somewhere between 6 and 8 Chaos Favour to maintain (definitely not 9), with 1 less requirement for those who worship Eris, Kali, or Fortuna (Which isn't possible, yet). Pyx bonds can give the chakra too, so it's possible they may also lower the minimum favour requirement. Requirements decidedly not a chaotic version of the Padme's.
^ massive twinking with a Shogoth managed to get +15 Luck with 2300 Hodge (chaos) affinity when fully charged. Also ~+60 to the buffed skills
^ Wasn't able to keep this without 9 chaos favour, however, this is while worshiping Eosphoros/Ganesha, and having a Padme chakra also active. ~Paen
