When you reset your hand, you can discard any number of cards to increase your hand size by that many until the end of your turn.
What in the world is this good for?
If you would gain let's say 4 cards during your turn and you currently have a hand size of 6, you could discard 2 cards to increase your hand size to 8. You've already reset your hand so you don't have to discard down since your hand size is now 8.
End your turn.
It's good for when you've acquired quite a few cards during your turn and want to keep most of them until your next turn.

Oh! I read it in a different way: when you do the voluntary discard at the end of the turn, you can discard cards (as usual) but for each discarded card your hand size increases by one, therefore you will draw more cards.
Was this totally wishful thinking on my side? :D :D
The way yo described Theryon, makes sense but also makes the power fairly useless: you would need to acquire many cards during your turn, and then discard half of them, to get any benefit. But to acquire those "many cards", you will need to spend allies/blessings etc, so you will not have enough cards left in your hand to discard some and keep some (except in rare cases when other characters help you A LOT and pass you on some cards)

You can use it that way also. (Just be mindful of how large the resulting draw will be.) Theryon is just describing another use of the power.
