| Humans and other parts of the world can be affected by a force, charged with it. Heroes often are responsible for charging themselves, others, or things around them with a force. When that happens we call that an [[terms#Aspect]] of the Force and the things in yellow above come into play. The Aspect of Fire is called [[terms#Fervor]], when something is charged with Fire it has Fervor as an aspect. Fervor always implies destruction, in addition to any other imbued qualities. The Aspect of Weird is [[terms#Wonder]], when something is charged with Weird it has Wonder as an aspect. Wonder always implies confusion, in addition to any other imbued qualities. Aspects of Fervor and Wonder usually carry specific rules as well. | Humans and other parts of the world can be affected by a force, charged with it.

| Outside all these dangerous outer forces, the force of [[terms#Destiny]] is embraced by the hero to change the world as they see it. Destiny is an inner force, something that lives inside the hero. You could almost say that without it they would not be heroes at all, but [[terms:sheep]] instead. The most direct measure of Destiny in the game is the Destiny track of each hero, which records how their future is looking at any one moment. Eventually when that is filled, they meet a Crisis that will change them for better or worse. | Outside all these dangerous outer forces, the force of [[terms#Destiny]] is embraced by the hero to change the world as they see it.

| There are four types of [[terms#chip|Chips]] in the game. These are color/letter coded to indicate their type. A Chip means nothing in the fiction except when it is drawn from [[terms#Fate]] (a bag that holds chips). When your Hero takes interesting or risky action, they will [[terms#draw]] from Fate. The type of Chip drawn will dictate how things went for them in their undertaking. Here are the types of Chips: | There are four types of [[terms#chip|Chips]] in the game.
