The Dreamstone
Anyone who spends some time in the Dreaming may create a Dreamstone. This is a special stone which grants you powers or abilities. Every character may only own one Dreamstone. It will only work for that player, and cannot be stolen or traded.
As you bring your Dreamstone with you in the Dreaming, you may hear it begin to talk to you. Over time, it may teach you secrets or grant you special powers.
People often choose a Dreamstone which shares some quality with their character. Someone who's character is a dirty lowlife might have a lump of coal for a Dreamstone. Someone who is very vain might carry a beautiful gem. A charismatic fast talker might choose a very smooth stone.
Gaining Resonance
The Dreamstone "wakes up" over time by taking it with you during your travels. Every time you complete a Dream Walk which is Archived, you gain a point of Resonance. This Resonance can be spent to awaken your Dreamstone's powers.
You can also be awarded Resonance for good archiving. This means writing good blog posts or submissions to the game. For example, if you post an interesting journal, speech, artwork, or essay, a staff member might reward you Resonance in that post's comments. If you do something in the Dreaming which creates drama, story, or inspires others, you can be awarded Resonance.
In your profile, there is a section titled "Dream Log". This section is used to record when and how you received Resonance. List the date, title, and link to the relevant archive entry. For example, if you go on the Dream Walk titled "Fae Rescue" on November 4th, and somebody posts a blog entry about it, record this:
"11/24 - Fae Rescue - http://dreamings.ning.com/profiles/blogs/name-of-blog-entry".
Spending Resonance
To awaken the Dreamstone's power, you must spend Resonance. Each power also has an upkeep cost, an amount of Resonance which must be paid each month. If the upkeep is not paid within 30 days, the power disappears.
When you purchase a power, list it, and the date on which you purchased it, in the profile section called "Dreamstone Powers". Spend Resonance on that power by cutting it from your Dream Log and pasting it beneath that entry.
For example, if you buy the Dream Shield power, which costs 2 points, your Dreamstone Power section might look like this:
2/19/10 - Dream Shield - You gain 1 armor point. They can be
refreshed by holding your Dreamstone and concentrating for 60 seconds.
1/10 - Fae Rescue - http://dreamings.ning.com/profiles/blogs/we-rescued-some-fae
1/15 - Awaken the Wakes - http://dreamings.ning.com/profiles/blogs/putting-up-posters-downtown
If the power's upkeep is 1, you would have to list an additional point of Resonance underneath that entry between 3/19 and 4/18. Another point would have to be spent between 4/19 and 5/18. If a power expires because the upkeep has not been paid, mark that power as INACTIVE. You may reactive it at any time by paying the upkeep cost.
A point of Resonance can only be spent once. After it's been listed underneath an active power, it cannot be spent again.
