Temporary and Permanent Power

Level-up choices can unlock attack abilities or improve global stats. Stat upgrades apply only for the current run. Relics are run-scoped power spikes that may provide normal stat totals or unique behavior.

Permanent power comes from Heart Tree ranks and pilot mastery. Those bonuses apply to every future run.
