Overview
Mind Shard - Hotori is a S-grade mind shard item in Neverness to Everness. Increases Hotori's Mind Level. It contributes to Awakening System.
How it Works
Mind Shard - Hotori is consumed at the Awakening menu in fixed quantities to raise Hotori's Mind Level. Mind Levels stack with normal character levels and ascensions, granting stat boosts and unlocking new tiers of Esper Ability progression. Shards are character-locked, so a duplicate gacha pull on a character you already own contributes shards directly to this pool rather than going to waste. See Awakening System for the full Mind Level chart and the bonuses each rank unlocks.

Awakening Target
Mind Shard - Hotori awakens the playable character Hotori. Every shard spent on Hotori's awakening raises their Mind Level, unlocking passive bonuses and Esper Ability upgrades. See Awakening System for the full progression table and Hotori for that character's build notes.
Tips
Mind Shards are character-locked, so duplicate shards from the gacha feed directly into Mind Level rather than sitting unused. Keep pulling on a character you already own when you need late-stage awakenings.
Each Mind Level unlock tightens a character's base stats and opens new Esper Ability tiers. Treat awakenings as a long-term parallel track to basic leveling; do not save all your shards for endgame.
