Designed to be used both mechanically and in-character, the Codex contains vital information that every player must regularly check and understand.

+=====Mind=====
+The MIND tab reflects your character’s mental state and total skill capacity, both of which are crucial in the horror-driven world of Requiem. This page tracks your psychological resilience and controls how many total skill points your character can possess.
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::wiki-codex_3_mind.png?nolink |}}
+\\
+<fc #ff0000>**1 – Mental Conditions**</fc>
+This section displays your current Sanity Level, Mental Status, and any active conditions affecting your mind.
+Requiem’s world is filled with horrors—exposure to Eldritch monsters, dark rituals, or cursed places can inflict mental afflictions such as fear, panic, or madness.
+Pressing “Check Conditions” will show all active psychological conditions affecting your character.
+//Tip: To recover Sanity, rest in a Sanctuary Zone (safe towns or holy places). The deeper you venture into cursed lands, the more sanity damage you risk.
+//
+\\

+<fc #ff0000>**2 – Raise Skill Cap**</fc>
+Every character starts with a Skill Cap of 700—this is the total amount of skill points your character can maintain at once.
+As you develop your build, you can spend Animus Points to raise your cap and unlock more possibilities.
+However, each increase becomes incrementally more expensive, so spend wisely and focus your progression strategically.
+<fc #ff0000>**3 – Open Skill Menu**</fc>
+Clicking this opens the Skill Purchasing Menu, where you can:
+View a list of all available skills
+Spend Animus Points to unlock or enhance them
+Review any Skill Perks or mastery paths
+Please see [[ https://requiemrpg.com/wikirequiem/doku.php?id=skills|Skills]]
+\\
+This is the core of character customization in Requiem—whether you’re a disciplined soldier, cunning rogue, or cursed scholar, this menu is where your skill identity takes shape.
+=====Spirit=====
+The SPIRIT tab tracks your character’s progression and growth through the systems of Infusion and Animus are two core mechanics that reward everything you do in Requiem, from combat and crafting to meaningful roleplay.
+\\
+{{ ::wiki-codex_4_spirit.png?nolink |}}
+\\
+<fc #ff0000>**1 – Animus & Providence System**</fc>
+This section shows your current amount of Animus, the most valuable currency of personal progression.
+Animus is earned automatically by converting Infusion (at a rate of 1 Animus per 1000 Infusion).
+You can also receive Bonus Animus as special rewards from staff for meaningful roleplay, completing story arcs, or event participation. These are freely spendable and allow flexible progression.
+Lifetime Animus tracks the total Animus you’ve spent on this character—whether for skill points, stat increases, or perks.
+When your character reaches Perma-Death, the Providence system lets you carry over 75% of Lifetime Animus to your next character. This ensures your past efforts are honored and your legacy continues into the next life.
+<fc #ff0000>**2 – Infusion Tracking**</fc>
+This bar displays your current Infusion level, which passively increases through all gameplay activity:
+Fighting, crafting, gathering, and even roleplaying will grant Infusion.
+Once you accumulate 1000 Infusion, it automatically converts into 1 Animus.
+Infusion gain encourages all types of engagement, not just combat—making every interaction a part of your character’s growth.
+**Mortality Effects**
+If your character is suffering from Mortality (a temporary state after resurrection or trauma), your ability to store Animus is reduced, limiting your progression until the condition recovers.
+=====Death=====
+The world of Requiem is ruthless, and every step into the wilderness carries real danger—even the threat of permanent death. Please see [[ https://requiemrpg.com/wikirequiem/doku.php?id=permadeath|Permadeath]]
+\\
+\\
+{{ ::wiki-codex_5_death.png?nolink |}}
+\\
+<fc #ff0000>**Knockouts & Injuries**</fc>
+Every time your character is knocked out (KO’d), there's a chance they will suffer permanent injuries—ranging from broken limbs to lasting trauma.
+The more often you're KO’d, the greater the risk of receiving multiple or more severe injuries.
+Injuries can affect combat, movement, and even your mental state—treat them quickly or face long-term consequences.
+<fc #ff0000>**Mortality & Permadeath**</fc>
+When fighting Red-tier enemies (high-threat mobs), your character may gain Mortality—a dangerous stat that increases your risk of permanent death.
+Each 1 point of Mortality equals a 1% chance of permanent death if you're KO’d.
+For example, 25 Mortality = 25% chance your character will not wake up again.
+Manage your Mortality carefully—rest, heal, or retreat before it becomes a fatal risk.
+=====Traits=====
+"Character Traits" system in your game - special abilities your character can acquire through gameplay rather than purchasing them. Here's what you need to know:
