The altar drinks what you offer. Runes burned together feed it more than the same runes burned alone. When clusters of the same hue collapse, the tribute grows faster than the sum of its parts. The altar prefers wide, hungry clusters to scattered scraps. When you shatter more than one seal at once, the ritual surges. The void hungers for such momentum and amplifies the tribute; the more seals you break in a single strike, the more the void leans in. The pacts you bind (Vexes) are not mercy. They twist the rite, carving deeper hunger into the altar. Some pacts make the runes burn hotter. Others make the strike itself scream louder. Both feed the void. Your Resolve is finite. Each rune you drop takes a toll. The altar accepts only as long as you stand. Move the runes with the arrows, turn them with Z/X, and call the spare to your palm with SPACE.
