Hone (≤2 plays): gain up to 9 Edge at turn's end. Exhaust.

Poise skill common 0 mana Exhaust

An enabler: it banks a resource that a payoff card later cashes in.

What it doesRead from the engine's own effect table.
EffectValueWhat it does
Hone9Add 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)
Exhaust

After it resolves this card leaves for the rest of the turn, so a mid-turn reshuffle cannot hand it back. It returns to your deck at the start of your next turn — this is not permanent removal.

🗡️ 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".
💠 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.
💨 Exhaust
After you play it, this card leaves for the rest of the turn. You get it back at the start of your next turn.
