-'''Synergy:''' This is a geist's supernatural potency. Is a 1-5, with 6-10 existing but mostly impossible over the course of a game. Can be increased through research and an exceedingly difficult Empathy Check. Synergy determines the Manifestation benefit for having each Key, and the difficulty and amount of Urges.  Lastly Synergy increases a Geists max traits by one per level. Geists can return from the dead by spending a dot of permanent synergy, doing so deposits them at the mouth of one of the rivers of death.

 '''Increasing synergy:''' Increasing synergy with the geist is difficult for the bound because the pact erases much of the former’s memory. Each level of synergy requires research into who your pact maker was before they drunk the waters of Lethe, this can be done in the human or underworld and takes actions equal to 5*the desired synergy rating. After that the Geist can make an empathy check equal to The synergy rating they desire to enter the labyrinth’s memory towers to connect with who their ghost once was through the hive-memory of the spectres. This is a harrowing and requires an action and 2 xp to attempt.

-* '''New Action: Ferry:'''  Ferry is like a research action with goals.  This is the process of helping a lost soul come to peace by working it through its grief and helping it resolve any unresolved business. We may ask you to make compassion checks to understand the ghost along the way, reducing your target numbers by the rating of the check. We will ask you questions after each action and reduce the number of research points based on your answer. At the conclusion you get a random memento from the list. ( We roll a d100).

Ferrying a wraith often involves entering the labyrinth via a nihil and using your virtues to resolve each passion or fetter a wraith maintains a connection to. This is more difficult with spectres and may necessitate beating them to unconsciousness.
 *'''New Action: Recall:''' Recall is the action necessary to increase synergy. It costs 2 xp to attempt and you must complete the process outlined under synergy.
