[DF] Threshold magic points

Hello there!
I need an advice: one of my players has a "norse-type" of warrior priest.
He'd wish to increase his tally's pool when he is wounded or wounds someone.

I was looking for a kind of energy reverse that can be filled in that way. But as far as i know, he can't use them, refill them and use them again: tally points are fixed. Hope it makes sense.

So, for instance: he is wounded for 5 damage, then he has 5 more tallies. He uses 4, he still has 1. Then he wounds something for 5 damage, and he has 6 tallies. And so on.
How do i create such an energy reserve?

This one's a pickle all right.

The 'simplest' way I can envision it is so: ER bought with "Accessibility: Equal to wounds* received or dealt" and then buy the ER pool up to the maximum amount the Priest can have.

So say he buys it up to 10, he can't touch it until he get's wounded or wounds someone, at which point he can access up to the amount of the wound delivered/received. The problem is, this is not a never ending supply...

Hang a moment. Let me look into DR (Absorption) and see if I can't finagle something...

Regeneration (limited by wounds dealt) on Energy Reserve, maybe?

Feels like a type of vampirism to me?

You would go the Leech route?

Leech with Heals Tally (since this is Threshold magic)?
