Just shorting some already wordy mechanics on characters.
Gain Chain if you play X = Chain: X
Until the end of the game = Permanently
X Character(s) get defense +1 = X: Defense +1
Edit:
Non-Multilass = Pure
without Cast = Casteless
Some Examples:
Your Characters Permanently Chain: Mental Spells.
Chain: One Handed Sword.
Noz: Defense and Draconic Damage +1.
Tsoutai Chain: "The Flawseeker Fury" or "The Flawseekers Meditation".
Ally Crow: Defense +1.
