Poise power rare 2 mana

Both halves of the loop: it banks a resource and cashes one in.

What it doesRead from the engine's own effect table.

Effect	Value	What it does
Whet	12	Attack for value × your Edge through the normal attack path; Edge is READ, never spent.
Hone	22	Add value to this turn's pending Hone; at END of turn it becomes permanent Edge only if you played ≤2 cards (a 3rd play forfeits it all)

💠 Edge: A permanent bonus for this fight. It is never spent — your Edge cards read it and hit harder the more of it you have.
🗡️ Hone: At turn's end, gain that much Edge — but only if you played 2 or fewer cards this turn. A third card forfeits all of it. Some foes dull your blade and cut what you bank, which is why the card says "up to".
