Aima cysts are corrucystic targeting tools that, when connected via obesk receptor, increase situational awareness by streaming an additional sensory feed to the mind's eye.
Aima cysts can be found after certain battles in Recollection: Collapse. They can also appear in item caches within ::/FRAME/. Within ::/FRAME/, they are classified as offense items, and are found in batches of two. A max of 10 can be held at one time. Aima cysts are usable in battle. When used, all foes gain 3 turns of vulnerability, and have all turns of evasion removed.
They were traditionally used by surface runners to more effectively find and track quarry. In the modern day, they are used to assist in multitasking and other intellectual pursuits.
Its romanized name is a pun on the phrase "aim assist".
