Plants vs. Zombies: Deep Sleep/Brainpowers

Brainpowers are a new mechanic introduced in Plants vs. Zombies: Deep Sleep. They are abilities used by the player in order to gain an advantage, and can be used through the new brain sparks. Starting with Rosemary Garden - Dream 7, the player is able to gather brain sparks in order to activate brainpowers. Zombies are also stated to use brainpowers to their own advantage, although they do not use the same mechanic as plants.
==Brain Sparks==
Brain sparks are the currency used for brainpowers. Once brainpowers are unlocked, each level will be indicated to have a certain energy type attached to it on the Select Your Seeds screen. Plants with the same energy type as the level when planted will yield 1 brain spark if they have a Weak intensity, 2 if they have a Mediocre intensity, or 3 if they have a Vigorous intensity. On the other hand, plants with a differing energy type will not contribute any brain sparks. Up to 18 brain sparks can be held at once.
Universal plants are different in the regard that they do not have any energy intensity, and will always contribute 1 brain spark regardless of the level's energy type. Universal levels are also different in the regard that all plants contribute 1 brain spark regardless of their type or energy, whilst Universal plants contribute 2 brain sparks.
==Energy Types==
There are 7 energy types that plants, zombies and levels can belong to. These 7 types are Universal, Aquatic, Dusk, Earthy, Heated, Luminous and Thunderbolt.
Name 	Icon	Description 	Plants Included	Zombies Included
Universal Energy 	 	The energy type of entities that do not belong in any other types. According to Penny, it appears that they either don't have any energy at all, or that their type of energy is not detected by the Brain Spark Reader. 	 	
Aquatic Energy 	 	The energy type of entities that utilise the powers of water in all of its forms. They often are able to thrive in the ebb and flow of aqua, and will often synergise with others well due to the essential nature of water. 	 	
Dusk Energy 	 	The energy type of entities that utilise what cannot be seen to their advantage. Whether they use underhanded tactics, or the cover of dark enables their mischievous acts, those who use Dusk energy are unpredictable. 	 	
Earthy Energy 	 	The energy type of entities that utilise the earth and all that it gifts to life. Those who are rocky or in touch with the nature around them both benefit from Earthy energy, and are able to use it with versatile purpose.	 	
Heated Energy 	 	The energy type of entities that utilise heat and combustion. Although they can be dangerous due to their volatility, the power that they bring with them is undisputed, making them forces to be reckoned with on the lawn. 	 	
Luminous Energy 	 	The energy type of entities that utilise the heavens. Although most of this type are known to use the sun and light before anything else, there are legends of mythological characters also using Luminous energy. 	 	
Thunderbolt Energy	 	The energy type of entities that utilise electricity. Many Thunderbolt energy users will be speedy and harsh in their natures, bolting with energy, and they synergise well between themselves through conduction. 	 	
==Brainpowers==
===Plants===
Up to three brainpowers can be brought to one level. Their energy type does not matter, and only serves to categorise them. Brainpowers can be selected alongside plants on the Select Your Seeds screen.
Below is listed the brainpowers available in Plants vs. Zombies: Deep Sleep.
===Zombies===
If a zombie's energy type is the same as that of the level, they will gain a more powerful ability. Universal zombies notably do not see any differences on Universal levels.
Below is listed how zombies differ based on their energy.
