Incandescent Indexing

Provider of the Art: The First Tear of Change, also known as the Incandescent Tear.

Leveling Method

Unlike other masteries Incandescent Indexing requires no levels to increase its tier.

This mastery instead requires you to enhance the Well of Incandescence, the centrepiece of the Iterator of Change's Mind Palace. To do this the IoC must gather and refine the energy emitted from the well (or other sources) to create Incandescent Essence. Incandescent Essence is a central fuel for not only enhancing the IoC's abilities, but also for using them.
