Power Augmentation
Power Augmentation was introduced in July of 2016 with the introduction of Light/Dark souls. Power Augmentation affects all aspects of spell casting and attacking, including combat, healing, and mental spells. A positive power augmentation greatly aids your creature, while a negative power augmentation hinders it. Basically the ratio of the number of Dark pets on the grid vs. the number of Light pets, whoever has less on the grid, the underdog, gets the positive buff. So if there are more lights than darks on the grid, the darks might have a 20% p. aug, while a light pet might have a negative -20% p. aug. The number will change every few minutes as it refreshes and the ratio changes. This was also introduced in February of 2020 with the LE Valentine Woolxie which was introduced as a new ‘Crush’ mechanic: all Valentine type creatures get a Power Augmentation buff for every other active Valentine type creature in a region. This was also extended retroactively to all other Valentine LE's. The Zombie LE from October of 2021 also includes a p. aug feature when more than one is present in a parcel.
