Isn't that what the 'Affinity' thing you can put on attacks?

By "theme" I think I mean "power". As example of weird power that can be abused the compression mentioned earlier, manipulation of rhythms or the abilities to write on any support. Simpler themes can be manipulation of fire (be a lighter at low level of the creation of a star at high level)

Debatably you can use the existing "Drama Die" as that resource. Spend it the normal way (get a free die) or use it for this special effect in the manner you describe.

Why 1–11 though? Spinal Tap jokes aside, 1–10 seems like a more typical scale, and 1–5 is more in line with the rest of OVA.
