Passives

Passives can be determined as the aspect of a constant activation of ones skill. For example, having reduced damage from fire elements if the user has any water elements.

Manifesting Passives
In order to have a passive, the user must be skilled enough to instinctively activate their skill all the time in order for it to work. This process takes time to master and even then, must improve their passive in order to be something of use.

Downsides
One of the major downsides of having a passive is that it is much easier for someone to sense the aura of someone due to the user having their powers activated.
