When a ZAI is minted (its creation), it is awarded 8 points randomly distributed over 2 elements.

> ### <mark style="color:purple;">The ZAI has a level which increases thanks to its XP gained in the fights and the trainings</mark>

* From level 0 to 4 the ZAI can only use 2 elements
* Level 5 to 9 => 3 elements
* 10 to 14 => 4 elements
* Level 15 => 5 elements

Each time a **level is passed, the ZAI gains 3 points of elements** which can be distributed on the elements available at that time.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Example:** In level 1 the ZAI has 4 Fire and 4 Water points, the points can only be added to Fire and Water. \
From level 5 the points can be added to a 3rd element.
{% endhint %}

> ### <mark style="color:purple;">ZAIs have a mana gauge that allows them to do alchemy</mark>

The mana gauge is replenished by sending your ZAI to learning witchcraft in a laboratory or using potions.

> ### <mark style="color:purple;">A ZAI can use potions in battle</mark>

In battle, the ZAI can use a maximum of 3 potions. \
Potions can be used to **use items that the ZAI has not yet unlocked** or to **add points** to active items. \
A ZAI can use an **XP potion to double the amount of XP** he has earned in battle.

> ### <mark style="color:purple;">The Gods</mark>

There are ZAI gods in BandZai. \
They are very rare and have strong powers... \
7 Gods are minted from a Platinum egg per season in a random way.
