Rift Energy is a one concept within the Ars’ magical system. It is typically associated with the ability of a person to advance or grow their abilities – such as Skills.
The higher the Rift Energy, the faster a person typically advances. Typically, Rift Energy is sorted categorically by Numerical Rift Energy Force, otherwise known as NREF.
