Assuming we pick up Spell Anchoring...
[] Research, Personal Enchanting Effects: How does the individual doing the enchanting affect the results? Do individual girls' skills play a role in the end result? Do their wishes affect things?
Cost: 3 Veteran +1 Green Meguca, 2 Grief Cubes; Chance of Success: 80%; Reward: Information about how the individual Meguca affects the result
[] Research, Effects of Enchanting on Technology: You already know at a basic level that enchanting boosts the properties of a material, but it's less clear how it affects something that's far more complex than its individual materials belie. You really aren't sure how this will turn out.
Cost: 2 months of 2 Veteran Meguca, 2 grief cubes, $1000; Chance of Success: 80%; Reward: Some knowledge of how magic and technology interact.
[] Enchanting, Secondary Properties: Further investigate just what determines what property gets boosted. Katsuko begs you not to let Keiko try hypnotism.
Cost:3 months of: 2 Veteran Meguca, 3 Grief Cube, $1000; Reward: Information on deeper effects of enchanting. Chance of success: 60%
1, 2, and 3-month projects. Month 1 takes 8 meguca, 7 cubes, and $2000. Month 2 takes 4 meguca, 5 cubes, and $2000. Month 3 takes 2 meguca, 3 cubes, and $1000.
Note that all of them have a chance of failure. 80%/80%/60% success rates.
I'd advocate for this over PvP training. We did our diplomacy burst last turn. We need to start leveraging the value of our group strategy. Right now we're mostly stagnant, which completely wastes the value of meguca who are not dying.
We really need to look into what we can consider an advantage for our current strategy. Higher morale and more experience and more shared knowledge ought to translate into something useful, but at present we seem to be worse off in virtually every possible way.
