 ===== THE SUPERNATURAL IN BRIEF =====
 ==== I. ABILITIES ====
-There exists two umbrella kinds of power that beings of a sentient kind have access to while in the material world. Outside of specialized interest groups, the average person within the Emergency Coalition is likely to believe these powers to be superstition. However, folklore is common, and the end of the galaxy has brought upon an age of tolerance for eccentric belief.

 ==== II. THE MIRROR ====
-"The Mirror" is a term used to describe interconnected locations not of the material world. Occultists will traverse rifts in the material world to access The Mirror. These places are shaped by the actions and impressions of sentient beings in the material reality. Typically, access points include surfaces with a mirror finish, zones of weaknesses in material reality, and can even be created through concerted effort.

+>Individual areas within The Mirror are known as "Shards". These are domains associated with specific impressions or actions. A Shard is a living thing in its own respect. Though it comprises a >great deal of creatures and locales, these are best thought of as organs and organelles of a far larger creature. Many creatures manifested from Shards are unable to leave The Mirror due to >this distinction, as they are expressions of a Shard, and are not in possession of individualized intelligence.

 ==== III. THE DWELLERS ====
-"Dwellers" are creatures whose origins are not from material reality. In effect, these are the "organs" of a given Shard, or even The Mirror itself. Many are unable to leave the immaterial worlds, as they lack the inherent spark required to do so. They are, typically, an expression of a larger being rather than a truly independent organism. Exceptions apply, however, in both directions. Sentient beings can lose that essential spark and end up trapped within The Mirror, or a Dweller may gain the agency to leave.
