Would this be better as a 13th element*, a pseudo element or a pseudoquanta?
*current version but has greatest drawbacks
I'm pretty sure the current version is a pseudoquanta, or an alternate cost mechanic, since it doesn't count as Random quanta (or rather, it can't without being unbalanced).
If something adds a quanta pool then it is not merely a pseudoquanta.
Since it is quanta being produced it is not merely an alternate cost mechanic.
I should amend the question to
