{Numen} or (Specialty)

The aspect or theme of power you use. Often relating to your personality or experiences. Usually the stronger the {Numen} the harsher the downsides. You will not know what your {Numen} is when you first awaken. You will have to find out what it is yourself.

Example:

Vampirism or cooking.

You could awaken an ability to have incredible cooking. Or you will gain the characteristics of a Vampire.

{Aura}

The energy awakened use to activate their {Numen}. There are several different types of {Aura}. Think of it like mana.

{Order}

Order ranks are the biggest factor in someone's strength.

Each rank you ascend, you have a chance to gain an aspect related to your {Numen}. You also get more powerful physically with more aura available.

{Talents}

Powers derived from your {Numen}. They could be passive like a better since of smell. Or it could be something active like the ability to manipulate blood. (All vampirism examples).

{Flaws}

A critical downside afflicted into an awakened. Typically growing with the user. An example for an after mentioned Vampire {Numen} would be the need for blood and not being able to digest any other food. They never activate until the first usage of an activatable {Aspect}. Under special circumstances, more flaws can develop.

Things are never set in stone. All the stuff listed is just what has been found and documented.
