An example of a system which primarily revolves around Awakening, [[Raven]]'s [[Anger of Raven]] is completely dependent on it, providing him with a Nasod Core while Awakening Mode is activated.

An enhanced version of the Nasod Core will be provided if Raven consumes 3 Awakening Beads. | An example of a system which primarily revolves around Awakening, [[Raven]]'s [[Anger of Raven]] is completely dependent on it, providing him with a Nasod Core while Awakening Mode is activated.

A select few systems act completely differently, neither tied to some secondary resource or the Awakening System entirely.
