Essentially, the rules I used for these gifts were:

    Death before lvl 5 resulted in a Dark Power intercepting the PC's soul in the mist, giving them the option of resurrection with Stage 1 of their gift.
    At lvl 5, a PC can reach out to their Dark Power to receive Stage 1 their gift
    At lvl 7, a PC is asked by their Dark Power if they would like more power.
        If they say yes, gift progresses to Stage 2
        If no, the offer stays open.
    At lvl 9, it's the same as lvl 7, but gift progresses to Stage 3.
    At any point during this process, a character who has not received their gift yet can call upon their Dark Power and receive all the gifts their level allows
    At the Amber Temple, they can visit their Dark Power and choose to make a Pact, this unlocks the rest of their gift, but also may have a price to pay. It also condemns them to being trapped in The Domains of Dread.
