Excess
What marks an Excess apparition and what containing it guarantees.
reviewed 8 August 2026
What it is
Excess is an apparition modifier, not a species: the esva appears giant and stays the same species. It exists to mark in the field which apparitions are worth containing — containing an Excess guarantees the top band.
How I do it
What to do when an apparition comes in giant:
- Recognise it in the fieldThe esva appears giant next to the normal apparition of the same species. The mark is visible before you do anything.in gameIncursion Map → quadrant
- Measure before actingRead the apparition: species, class and the 4 moves stay the same. Excess changes the size of the apparition, not what the esva is.
- ContainContain it with the flask, as in any containment. If the apparition is lost, nothing of the Excess remains.
- Check the band in the collectionOnce contained, the esva enters the collection with the top band guaranteed.in gameCollection
What I get — and what it costs
What I get
Guaranteed top bandContaining an Excess apparition delivers the esva in the top band. Species, class and moves remain those of the species.Only by containing the Excess apparition itself. Apparition lost, guarantee lost.
What it costs
It is not a speciesExcess opens no new entry in the Register: it is the same species with the apparition marked.It holds only for that apparitionThe mark belongs to the apparition. It does not transfer to another esva and cannot be applied later.It changes neither class nor movesWhat changes is the size of the apparition. Class and the 4 moves remain those of the species.
