I basically say, Pillars/Pendulums only do stuff if you have more than one of them.
One life pillar? You get no quanta per turn.
One life pillar, one water pillar? One quanta each from
and
per turn. Two life pillars? Then you get two
each turn. Nothing new here.
Two Quantum Towers? Six random quanta per turn. One Quantum Tower, one Quantum Pillar? Still six random quanta per turn.
But if you have only one pillar/tower/pendulum, you generate nothing.
I basically made this affect more pillars and pends than just Quantum Pillar for elegance, but it can be changed to negate only Quantum Pillar if necessary.
