Schroedingers_Cat@jeffowski This is totally it. The idea of "spoons" was intended as an undefined something. I get that for gamers, spell definitions would work well true.
I sometimes think of it in terms of computer resources. It is all the same thing. Expressed in terms that makes sense for an individual.

@SteveClough @jeffowski for me that idea of spoons was always very inaccurate. I imagine energy as something continuous, like health bar in some games, not something to be counted in integers.
Sin Vega@jeffowski this is less relevant since the recent 2024 version changed it, but I was a couple of years into playing D&D before learning that strictly speaking, the rules don't say you replenish all your health dice on a long rest. You have to roll to find out how many you get back
So while most people are getting back all their potential, some of us are almost always running at lower capacity, even when we're all had the "same" rest

Before I discovered Spoon Theory I used to describe it as a video/game stamina bar:
- You only have so much Stamina,
- Every action uses it but the amount varies,
- Some things "reserve" an amount of the bar, making it unusable ("I'll need to be able to go to the meetup tonight, so I can't do this other thing today"),
- Some things can drain your Stamina, or stop it from replenishing properly (trauma, exertion, stress)
