• Might is gained upon first application of Resolution, as well as each interval tick after.
  • However, Might is not gained again if Resolution duration is extended before it expires.
    • Eg. If you receive 2 seconds of Resolution, you will receive 1 Might when it is applied, 1 Might again on the first interval tick, and then one more on the final tick, but you won't receive any additional Might if Resolution is applied again before the final tick.
