and if you were to shorten the the words aura point, it would still say AP. unless there is a different name for the armor points then that might get confusing.
Zinc sounds like trash. Lol, you people getting confused over what zinc is exactly. Zinc is an metallic element. Like the zinc you find in food, the metal is the same element, just in minute amounts.
It can be juuust like a good ol' RPGame. -5 Alignment, negative alignment. +5 Alignment, positive alignment. It's so simple, basic, and nothing too fancy.
Ideally, we'd like the "karma" system to be a single word, a noun, that describes the alignment/constitution/etc thing. We don't want to tag it as "______ points" because we don't want to confuse it with Armor Points.
