====== Double-Life ======
One in every ten person develops a magical ability during their teenage years, but only some of them gain abilities powerful enough to be of any use.
The phenomenon is called **double-life**, their capacity is called **second-life** and one with double-life is called a **doubler**. A person who has not develop a double-life is called — by the doubler — a singler. Doublers are forced to live on  [[start:setting:effindurn|Effingdurn]] where they either live isolated or learn to become a monster hunter/mercenaries. 


==== Energy is never created nor lost, it always comes from something and goes somewhere ====
  * The second-life does allow to make things appear out of thin air without a cost.
  * The cost has to be paid; it can always be paid by the doubler but some have the ability to take the energy from somewhere or something else.
    * The default source of energy inside the doubler is the food energy, once this daily storage is depleted other sources are used:
      * the muscles or fat in the body
      * the heat in the body
      * the brain electrical activity
    * This sources used in to much quantity result in the death of the doubler.
  * A doubler can sometimes store energy for latter use, the process is never perfect and the storage never leak-proof.

==== Your second-life is your own ====
  * Apart from twins, each second-life is unique at birth. It further evolves during the doubler's live.
  * Some develop autonomous second-life which is able to follow a certain pattern

=== Common doubler's abilities ====
  * Doubler have increased regenerative capacity, mostly during sleep. They tend to live twice as long as a normal life — when they live a normal life. 

==== Place in the society ====
  * A training in the [[start:setting:effindurn|Effingdurn]] just after the emergence of the first ability is mandatory, all doublers are recorded.
  * A special guild called the [[start:setting:handlers|Handlers]] is charged of capturing all double who trespass the law.
  * Doublers very often follow their years of training in [[start:setting:effindurn|Effingdurn]] by joining the [[start:setting:adventure_guild|Adventurer's guild].
