An emphasis on subtle and unobtrusive additions, avoiding new factions, items or convoluted systems.

The demi fox are a diminutive and unpretentious race of psycasters. They descend from a fox-like race of spiritual vampires. Of note is that demi fox ears and tails dynamically render prosthetics.

Demi foxes are fragile, submissive and timid, yet innately capable of natural meditation. Their true forte, however, lies in their signature anima interactions.

This ability directly leeches an anima’s tree’s energy, instantly converting it into psychic power.

This will consume only 5 tiles of anima grass, compared to the 20 tiles consumed by a standard linking ritual. Be careful – attempt an interaction with any less than 5 tiles, and the tree will die.

Naturally, demi foxes benefit from an unprecedented rate of psychic growth. But the anima interaction also gives a demi fox unique choices in psychic enhancement.

Their first enhancement choice should be familiar – gaining a new psylink level. Useful enough in itself, it also interacts in a fascinating way with…

…their second psychic enhancement choice – acquiring a random new psycast.

This frees demi foxes from any reliance on neurotrainers, but that isn’t all. New psycasts are first selected from a demi fox’s highest psylink level. In combination with the first choice, they can reliably gain all desirable psycasts in a given level before progressing.

These two options alone form a satisfying gameplay loop. But some occasions call for instant, overpowering psychic might. For this, demi foxes have an ace up their sleeves.

Behold the third and final psychic enhancement option – the multi-stage anima buff!

This long-lasting effect provides stackable boosts to psycasting, learning and vitality-related stats. It also provides an instant restoration of 20% psyfocus.

Reaching higher levels requires selecting the anima buff option multiple times. At its strongest, the buff can cut a demi fox’s psyfocus costs in half while doubling their heat maximum, heat recovery and meditation gain rate.

The demi fox are true masters of psychic growth. They form reliable bastions of psychic defense, and do so rapidly. Through their anima buff, their maximum psychic potential scales well beyond ordinary limits.

Anima trees appear as overlooked reserves of immense power to the demi fox. Those who shelter them will find similar potential in the demi fox themselves.
