Editing Creating a Character in Pause (section)

==Domains==

As mentioned before, characters that are able to act in a Pause have a degree of mastery over space and time. However, no one character has a complete mastery over such forces. As such, characters isolate their abilities to one or several particular functions of space and time which they can manipulate. These functions are called '''Domains'''.

Characters can learn and specialize in some of the Domains from the beginning and during the course of a story. Beginning characters start play with a number of points to divide among the Domains equal to their '''KNO Trait score'''. No one Domain may be above one point (or the number of Pauses they have been through already, if the character is already experienced in them.)

To use mastery of a Domain within a Pause, the Anchor must be in tool mode first – the Anchor becomes the medium between the character’s mastery of the Domain and the external surroundings within a Pause. However, Domain mastery is not only limited to fixing the Breaks, but also for whatever other uses come to mind – assisting other characters, hindering Aberrations, so forth and so on. Generally, the use of the Domains cost more as the complexity of the effect becomes greater.

* '''Correlation:''' This Domain deals with an object’s synchronization with the Pause’s Time Flow, affecting the object’s well-being. Complexity varies with the degree of change in synchronization.
* '''Exchange:''' This Domain deals with the exchange of matter, allowing for near instantaneous travel over distance. Complexity varies with distance and what matter is exchanged.
* '''Gravity:''' This Domain deals with localized changes in gravity, varying the ease of movement and actions. Complexity varies with direction (increased or decreased gravity) and magnitude of the change.
* '''Isolation:''' This Domain deals with the brief isolation of space and time, allowing several specific effects. Complexity varies with the change in space or time within the isolated area as well as the size of the area.
* '''Kinetics:''' This Domain deals with the augmentation of energy to and from moving objects, making the objects either slower or faster. Complexity varies with the amount of energy involved and the duration of the effect.
* '''Magnetism:''' This Domain deals with the direct movement of objects in relation to oneself. Complexity varies with the object being moved as well as the distance and velocity applied to the object.
* '''Recombination:''' This Domain deals with the changes of an object’s chemical properties to grant it new effects. Complexity varies with the effect to be given as well as the object being affected by the change.
* '''Relativity:''' This Domain deals with one’s perception of time and space, affecting their actual speed in the Pause itself. Complexity varies with the magnitude of the perceptive change as well as the duration of the effect.
* '''Transferal:''' This Domain deals with the transfer of properties from one object to another. Complexity varies with the properties to be transferred as well as the readiness of the recipient.
* '''Uncertainty:''' This Domain deals with the extraneous forces which influence other forces within the Pause. Complexity varies with the degree of uncertainty as well as the readiness of the recipient.
