		+	This Domain effect reduces the final Essence cost of Animal Enhancement, by changing the Essence cost of each Animal Level by a small amount.
		+
		+	Please note that due to rounding the cost of the first few Animal Levels may end up unaltered. The net effect is that the Owner can spend his Essence more efficiently to Enhance a larger number of Animals, or to more greatly Enhance a small number of Animals. Animal Enhancement can improve the natural traits of Animals, raise their Intelligence level, give them the ability to speak, or give them thematic supernatural abilities. Please note also that the Animal Enhancement Domain effect does not affect the Essence cost of a character with Virgin Powers enhancin his or her Unicorn mount (Unicorns don't count as animals for this purpose).
		+
		+	Depending on the strength of this Domain effect, the cost reference column on the Animal Enhancement Essence Cost Table is shifted one or more steps to the right. This shifting is cumulative with other sources, such as Nature Powers or Royal Powers.
