===Enervation===
When a character is afflicted by negative energy or has their lifeforce otherwise drained, they suffer enervation. Enervation refers to a special kind of damage that is long lasting and has significant side effects.

Enervation includes Enervation Points - which the 'damage' received from Energy Draining Attacks and - Energy Drain, which his what level of Energy Drain they have experienced. Whenever Enervation Points equal HP Level, increase Energy Drain by 1. Furthermore, treat the character's Current HP as being decreased by Enervation Points - thus, if its equal to Enervation Points, treat them as HP 0. It effects VP in a similar way.
