Kenning

Kenning is the mental immortal statistic, which is the degree to which the character is capable of obtaining increased knowledge and insight into the inner workings of the world.

Cognizance

The secondary linear component of the Kenning statistic is Cognizance, and this must be spent to use skills which are related to Kenning.

Recovery

An immortal can recover Cognizance through the meditation of followers. Meditation on a specific (Platonic) ideal or icon related to the immortal increases the effectiveness of the meditation, as well as providing a medium for reciprocal communication.

Sharing Cognizance

Immortals can share or grant cognizance to another immortal via meditation similar to the sharing of Influence.
