I gave you an Informative, but a Funny would also be appropriate in an "I'm impressed by the amount of effort you're putting in" way. Plus it was unexpected to see that somebody was sitting on that much power. Doubt they're being mean.

I would like to really quick mention that the specific text of Cut Through is very relevant to everyone.
This is not the Praxis.
We are not getting the Praxis from this.
It is allowing the creation of techniques which achieve the same equivalent effects as what could be achieved with the part of the Praxis which interacts with using swordsmanship. Because we are a Cursebearer, we will be able to develop techniques which achieve the equivalent effects of the Imperial Praxis, so we can imitate the higher forms.
This is why they're suffering the same limitations the Praxis does; not because they are the Praxis, but because they are imitating the Praxis.
Bear this in mind when salivating.

Don't think it would be a problem. There are some fields not covered by Praxis, like "renewal or restoration". Plus whatever utility effects the more narrow Sword Praxis is not the best at.
[X] Hot Springs And Go
[X] Slice Fate - 7 Arete
Cut Through lives up to my expectations, and the SJUC EFB is pretty cool, too! It's a shame that the Ruling Ring and Once and Future are higher priorities (at least for me), because using SJUC to boost Willpower would have amazing synergy with Cut Through.

Since it seems like their history on earth was relatively similar to Hunger's I wonder discovering Armaments was the big divergence, with it functionally leading to an age of warlordism carving up the sphere, the vestigial remnants of which are the current noble titles.
[X] Lift the Siege
[X] Fierce Quickening
I think we should either take this or Hot Springs and Blood Dominion.

Yeah, like I said, there is something fishy going on with Cut Through.
But it's nearly 7 am and I need to sleep. It may just be my imagination.
Edit: We are also not getting Praxis equivalent as a whole, only the Sword Praxis equivalent .

Hmm, they might lack the omni-dimensional that the Praxis is known for, though.

It let's us advance our techniques one step along the infinite singularity husk. When denied the Praxis Hunger apparently said I'll make my own Praxis with Swords and Fishing!
10k words is sadly, less than 7 arete. If you drop Slice Face for whatever else, preferably something that does not waste arete at all, I'll commit to Investigating The School.

The options does say it uses the Imperial Praxis as a canvas, so I don't know how seperate they really are. Really just feels like splitting hairs to me.
Actually I was wrong; I confused the ++ from Uttermost with the ++ from Vigor. So we should have two more might in blood form. Sorry for being bad at this. Should be correct now.

I actually agree with you, i just hope that there is less salt all around in the future. It's an enjoyable quest, and a mostly cool community, but sometimes it gets an bit too negative...
I'm personally voting for schools right now! More magic!
Honestly, at this point i am all in in sword praxis. I prefer magic, but i also am a fan of swords, now we have a magical system that is based around on being so good with swords that we can change reality. That's really badass.
Also, while true that's not really the praxis, it's equivalent of the praxis, and for someone whom never expected to actually use the praxis, that's awesome.
And there is likely sinergy between taking it and getting the noble praxis later.
On that note:
[X] Investigate the Schools
[X] Slice Fate - 7 Arete.
Slice fate doubles our chances of not dying horribly. That's...immense, really. Also, makes Letrizia an sorceress, which is awesome, and likely increases the odds of Investigate the schools.

While Slice fate is not a part of the bounty, only Investigating the School has to win, sure why not.

Context for those Just Dropping in: I'm trying the concept of an Arete Bounty given the current size of my strategic omake reserve. I will put out at least 10,000 words of omake power but the actual result will be more, if Investigating the Schools wins this voting round.
There's probably a circle of hell just for the person who introduces Gisena to the concept of selfies.
I'm sure I had other thoughts, but the blurbs must've swept them from my mind. Stranglethorn would have godlike synergies with Cut Through, doubling the effect of willpower effectively negates its only downside! Plus 50% total Rank gain! Access to a sliver of the Imperial Praxis! Sorry, Vanreir, you were a cool guy but there go the last of my regrets: unlocking this was the objectively correct decision.

Oh certainly, they imitate it well. They achieve the same things, essentially. The difference is that they are going to lack the foundational properties of the Praxis; they're magic, but not Praxis magic.
If Hunger, or Seram, or any other Cursebearer got dropped into a 0% magical universe where outside magic didn't work, the Praxis would still work. The techniques from Cut Through would not, because they aren't the Praxis.
There are likely some other stipulations as well that aren't immediately apparent, but that's the most major one I can currently see. I'm not at all trying to dog on Cut Through, but I want to make sure that nobody is misunderstanding what it's actually offering us.
It's very much not. The differences matter.

I personally was impressed that you'd accumulated such a large reserve. That takes serious dedication, props!
It's got some potential aspects as well. +% Stats applies to future +s.
Yes, now that it doesn't lead to an effective decrease in AGI, you can finally safely take Stranglethorn!!

Welp, change of plans: goodbye Ruling Ring, it was nice knowing you! Hello there, Cut Through, you beautiful EFB you! Rihaku did not exaggerate when he said that the sick power of Cut Through's blurb would sway votes - pretty satisfied I voted for Uttermost now.
The union of SWORD and MAGIC, bound together as the Praxis with the power of DEEP LORE. How could any other option be more compelling?
S A V E Gang! S O R D Gang! Even Magic System Gang, let us unite under the banner of Cut Through!
I don't think a single reroll a day will actually solve the problem of the likely immense gap in cumulative power breaching the inner layer might force us to face is the issue. There's also basically no chance we recoup the cost in addition to what's already needed to pick up an EFB. So it's pretty much committing to going in without one.

I already see people leaning toward Slicing Fate, and 7 arete pick right on the precipe of actually getting things had been saving, sacrificing and arguing is a goddamn nightmare.
Maybe it is too early, to trade votes, but what the hell. Anyway, I saw this, I am committing now.

Slice Fate is stated to be unique to this update. It's also really, really good for not dying. Seriously those 10% chance of death things we keep running into at the temple? Now more like 1%. Not Dying is still technically my number one priority.
Investigating Schools because hey there's magic. Magic is good.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the topic of Sword Praxis... Is there a word for being simultaneously angry and amused? Because I'm definitely feeling it right now. We Frikken SORDed our way into a magic system. Which uses swrods.
Like, it manages to be exactly what I want, but also the worst thing ever, and also genuinely hilarious. I'm going to focus more on the positive emotions to avoid damaging my sanity.
At least I can be pretty sure we're finally getting another magic system.
