• Lineage Memory can impart Awakened with attributes that, unlike the usual ones, are hereditary. They could be passed down through a bloodline.^[14][15][16]

• Attributes can be gained as a result of extraordinary experiences, actions, or events, and may be either temporary or lasting.^{[20][21][22][23]}
