Isho and Bookkeeping One of the keys to Jorune is the mysterious ambient energy which flows across the planet and between mother planet and the seven moons. Isho is a natural force, similar to magnetism or electricity. It can be channeled, shaped and "woven" into useful forms, called "dyshas." Your ISHO characteristic is only the beginning of your structure for an isho-using character. From that number you will generate a number of "Isho Points" to determine just how much isho you are able to use before you must rengenerate, "Color Points" to divide among the seven moons to determine which dyshas you will be able to weave, and determine your levels within each of the identified isho skills. All races will have some interaction with isho. Not all isho skills are available to all races. Playing with Isho is complex, so have a scratch pad handy and you might want to keep a calculator nearby. Racial Isho Variants Paragraphs
