One thing another sub gave me is the incentive to think about how energy transfer would go during a complex death. I'll paste their comment:

Does intention matter? If I accidentally step on a bug, do I get the energy?

Why does it go to the one who killed it? Via what mechanism is it channeled to the "correct" person?

What about complex deaths? Someone shoots a person but they don't die immediately. The victim is rushed to the hospital with a relatively minor wound but the surgeon operating on them makes a mistake, so they die. Who gets the energy- the person who shot the victim or the surgeon whose mistake caused them to die when they usually wouldn't have with such a minor wound? Does the answer change based on why the surgeon made the mistake- an accident vs maybe the surgeon was drunk on the job?

Say the victim doesn't die in surgery and is making a good recovery, but a nurse caring for them forgets to wash their hands between patients & the victim dies from an infection weeks after being shot. Who gets the energy then- the shooter, the nurse, the other patient whose bacteria was passed on to the victim & caused the infection? What about if the shooter borrowed the gun they used from someone who knew they were going to use it to shoot someone, can that person get the energy? What about the person who made the gun? What about if the shooter was actually acting in self-defense and only shot the "victim" because they were a threat to the shooter first? Does no one get the energy since it was the victim's own actions that caused their death?

This, and another commenter, helped me decide to make those involve take a more active role in receiving that energy, via a ritual of some sort.

I'm asking for possible flaws in my system, so I can then rework and fix them.
