***PASSIVE ABILITIES***
**COLLIE OF THE CREEK**
Mackenzie's ***BARKY BOATS*** will grant him one stack of ***CREEK MEMORIES*** when an enemy trips over them, which increases the amount of ***BARKY BOATS*** he can deploy.

**SEEKING CLOSURE**
Mackenzie starts the battle without ***CLOSURE***; he gains a stack when he ***RINGS OUT*** an enemy, and loses one when an ally is ***RUNG OUT***.

Without ***CLOSURE***, Mackenzie has a stack of ***DOUBT***, which slows down his cooldowns and attacks though doubling his damage.
