Character powers
Powers are abilities unlocked by visiting Temples and completing the Artifact "puzzles" within them. Each Temple offers a unique power, and all powers can be upgraded to level 10 in New Game+, enhancing their effectiveness or reducing their use cost. Please note that Temple locations are partially randomized for each playthrough.
The initial power is acquired during the main mission Into the Unknown, and additional powers/Temples can be found through the mission Power from Beyond or during exploration.
