Each Spirit does three things, in the following order:

Grow: Choose one of the three Growth options under “Growth” at the top of the Spirit Panel. Each section has two or three icons, indicating the actions you take as part of that growth option. You must do everything shown in the section you select, but you may choose the order.

Gain Energy: Gain an amount of Energy equal to the highest uncovered number on your Energy Presence Track. Place any gained Energy on or near your Spirit Panel.

Play and Pay for Power Cards: Select the Power Cards (both Fast and Slow) that you will use this turn. The maximum number of Power Cards you can play each turn is the highest uncovered number on the Card Plays Presence Track (even if you have enough Energy to pay for more).

You must immediately pay Energy for all Power Cards played, even Slow ones.

Likewise, you immediately gain all Elements on played Power Cards, even if the Power’s effects are Slow. You do not resolve the effects of the Power Cards yet.

Once all players have Grown, gained their Energy, and played their Power Cards for this turn, paying their costs as they do, it’s time to proceed on to the Fast Power Phase.
