...I was really hoping there would be no build-vote this time around, but I guess at least this way we'll generate more arete by
tearing through each other like rabid animals diplomatically sharing our opinions together.
[] Vigor Itself
[] Vigor Itself x2
Just want to remind everyone that we're
9 Arete away from Ruling Ring, the option that makes literally everything else better once we get it! Honestly, at this point the 4 picks necessary seem more of an hurdle than the Arete itself, as long as we don't spend the majority of it into a 7 Arete effect right at this very moment.
Voting for Vigor itself since I want to get closer to those advanced quickening enhancements once we max out both it and Fierce Quickening, and also since I'm seeing getting Stranglethorne a foregone conclusion (if we're ever offered it again...) so I can't help but see the double vigor boost as an 8+ Might increase rather than a 4+ one.
Though honestly, I would be amenable to vote for one of the 2-Arete Advancements as well, since we might actually end up with a (small) surplus or Arete if we end up saving for everything but Dominion and Preeminence options. Sublime Transfusion, as an ability with
minimum rank cap instead of a maximum one, particularly interests me. And considering our regeneration, the effect we would give could literally save someone on the brink of death. Never know when that might come useful until it finally does and you really hope you had bought it when you had the chance, and maybe we could even make some blood potions so that our allies always have an emergency full heal available even when Hunger is otherwise occupied!
The 7 Rank minimum kinda gives me the idea that that's how much we would be able to boost Vers at a baseline, but I'd honestly avoid attracting that level of Astral Beast attention right away. What being able to heal the Armament could give us though, is another chance to experiment with his blood! Not much Letrizia can complain about if we can boost Vers right back again with minimal expenditure, y'know? Another chance at Bloodwraith (without the relationship maluses) would be absolutely fantastic, and at this point since it looks like I managed to convince myself of all the potential this option has...
[X] Sublime Transfusion
[X] Vigor Itself
There's a thing though. I'm seeing a lot of people voting for Transfusion alongside Augment Dominion: Blood and honestly from my perspective, what's the point? Don't think that would increase our healing conceptual potency any higher, and we're better off trying to boost our overall Rank later than getting a very specific increase that is only getting weaker as we grow in power. Now, for the Edeldross option instead...
"Magic~ magic~" Letrizia clapped her hands happily. Gisena put on a brave smile, but there was just the barest flicker of emotion in her eyes, bitter perhaps at the thought that, though there hardly was a more talented Sorceress, her powers would only ever allow her to unmake what was wondrous, drag down the supernal into the grey mundane. So brief he could have imagined it. Hunger said nothing.
[X] Experimentation
Gisena deserves a + right now, and I'm just hoping helping Hunger out will put her in a real good mood and possibly help her with her own study of Findross!
And this is not related to the vote but...
Letrizia smacked him on the shoulder. "You joke now, but continue along this path and in a few months that's what you'll really believe!"
He looked blankly at her. "It is what I really believe."
"Moving on," Gisena said lightly,
Hunger seriously thinks that if he doesn't die while training he hasn't pushed himself far enough and this is justifiably creeping his companions (and me) out. We really,
really need to do something about it.
