Energy and Energy Potions
Energy is Epicly’s meter for AI images (wiki portraits and later scene art). It is not the same as audio session slots or Session Packs.
- 10 Energy = 1 standard AI image.
- Your plan includes a monthly Energy amount. That include resets every limit period.
- Energy Potions are a one-time purchase of extra Energy. They never expire, stack, and only spend after this month’s include is gone.
Usage Overview in the app shows monthly Energy as a bar and potion leftover on a separate flask line so the two pools are not mixed into one number.
For session limits and Session Packs, see Subscription limits.
Monthly Energy (included)
| Plan | Monthly Energy | Standard images / month |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 50 | 5 |
| Adventurer | 250 | 25 |
| Guild | 500 | 50 |
- Unused monthly Energy does not carry over. When the month resets, leftover include is gone. It is not turned into Potions.
- Annual billing still uses this monthly window for Energy (same as sessions and chat).
Energy Potions
Buy Lesser or Greater potions from Subscription → Add-ons. Anyone with an account can buy them, including Free.
| Lesser Potion | Greater Potion | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $2.99 | $9.99 |
| Energy | 200 | 1000 |
| Standard images | 20 | 100 |
How potions work
| Rule | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Monthly first | If you still have monthly Energy this period, an image uses that. Potion leftover is not touched. There is no toggle to spend potions first. |
| Potions only when monthly is out | After monthly Energy is 0, the next successful image spends 10 Energy from potions. If both pools are empty, generation stops until you buy a potion, wait for reset, or upgrade. |
| Never expire | Potion leftover stays until you spend it — across months, plan changes, and Free. |
| Stack, no cap | Every Lesser and Greater adds to the same leftover. Two Lessers = 400; Lesser + Greater = 1200. Buy more anytime. |
| Pay on success | Failed image generation does not keep the Energy. Successful images commit 10 Energy (monthly or potion, following the order above). |
| Not sessions | Potions do not add audio uploads. Session Packs do not add Energy. |
If monthly Energy is empty but you still have potions, the app can tell you the next image will use Energy from your Potions.
What Energy does not cover (for now)
Energy is not spent on Lorekeeper chat, text recaps, or regenerating a recap / GM Guide. Those stay on their existing limits. Audio stays on session slots and Session Packs.
