-Penalties in games can take many forms
+Penalties in games can take many forms. [[Energy Penalties]] are those that do not automatically remove players from games or force them to repeat actions again but rather those that reduce numerical values and threaten to cause more serious penalties when these values hit certain thresholds.
 Note: ''while [[Life Penalties]] fit the definition of [[Energy Penalties]], the latter pattern is on a finer level of granularity than [[Life Penalties]].''
