 can't use an enduring shield cypher on a friend.
 
 Cyphers are a game mechanic designed for frequent discovery and use. PCs can have only a small number of cyphers at any

 In theory, the cyphers gained by the PCs are determined randomly. However, the GM can allow PCs to acquire or find them
 intentionally as well. Cyphers are gained with such regularity that the PCs should feel that they can use them freely.

-The [cypher limit](#cypher-limits) is a social contract between the GM and the players. The GM provides useful cyphers
-that allow PCs to perform amazing abilities, and the players agree to use them, then the GM provides new cyphers, and so

-players to discard cyphers in their possession that do not seem immediately useful.

-Another option is to ask the players to review their cyphers at the start of the session, and cause cyphers to
