This page discusses the supernatural vim and brio which were gifted to the inhabitants of Reverie during the intensification.
Vim is in the blood of the draconic, the skin of the kami, the gel of the aquan. Vim is the flowing, everpresent motion in the life of each creature. Hearts pump, muscles flex, and wounds heal with the power of vim. Vim is the might which we bring to bear whenever we war, and it is the rampage we keep inside us whenever we breathe. Vim is living motion.
During the intensification, Arbiter Freedom suggested that there was some lack in the people of Reverie. He suggested that it might be appropriate to enhance the people; Arbiter Power took it upon himself to begin the intensification, choosing one of those living on Reverie, and crafting them into a more perfect creature. Arbiter Power called the resulting body vim, meaning energy, and called it perfect.
Brio is in the heart of the world, flowing out from Reverie and infusing everything on its surface with its holy power. Brio is the power beyond that fills us with strength when we have none left of our own. When any man would fall from exertion or any woman would collapse from her wounds, yet they continue to press on, brio is what infuses them with their impossible strength. Brio is the essence of life.
During the intensification, Arbiter Power crafted vim, a most perfect energy. However, Arbiter Discovery saw that there was still some lack in the people; there was something missing. Arbiter Discovery set out to find what piece could finish the puzzle, and discovered a vast, yet raw - and so, imperfect - energy resting in the core of the earth. Arbiter Discovery harnessed this unimaginable geothermic energy and tied it to the Holy Arbiters, then infused it into Reverie, before Arbiter Order completed the intensification by applying vim and brio to those living on Reverie.
