Anima debit – The Binding Chaos Lexicon

A balance owed in a relationship or interaction where the subject has received more than they have given.

Expanded explanation

An anima debit is the mirror of an anima credit: the balance standing when someone has taken more energy out of a relationship than they have put in. Marsh pairs the two so any unbalanced interaction leaves a matching credit on one side and a debit on the other. Like the credit, the debit is not merely a feeling but a carried balance, something owed that can persist and shape what follows. A person, group or institution that has drawn far more than it has returned sits in debit, and that imbalance is exactly what her wider model tracks, since predation, extraction and the anima bank all describe energy moving to one side of a relationship without a return.

Examples

The over-taker: Someone who consistently draws more from a relationship than they give back sits in anima debit.
The predator's ledger: A person or institution that extracts energy without returning it accumulates debit, the unbalanced side of the exchanges Marsh describes as predation.

How others use it

As with anima credit, the language is borrowed from accounting and the everyday sense of owing, and taking more than you give is familiar from ordinary talk about relationships. Marsh makes the balance one of anima, a measurable life energy, so receiving more than you give is a real debit in an energy ledger rather than only a social impression.
