A starting character begins with one dot in a Resonance that fits her personality and background. Additional dots may be purchased with freebie points for the new rating x 3 points: six points for two dots, nine points for three dots, and so on. The player picks a signature (see above) and describes how that energy manifests in her character’s life, magick, and possibly description. For suggestions, see Four Flavors of Resonance, below.
