Since we've invested so heavily in Surgecrafters, we're likely to retain access to Aeira through the medium term. Why not delegate such matters? They're not Hunger's comparative advantage, he's always going to have other things to do. Graces to craft (still haven't made any), Rank to train, Praxis techniques to acquire, etc. We declined King of Thieves and Shadowlord, so this just builds on a preexisting trend, the character we've established doesn't prioritize acquiring such capabilities. More efficient to leave them to others.Skyviel is also something which brings lateral Increase in capabilities! Stealth and Disguise can both be used to great effect in the Human Sphere and beyond!
Also, doesn't anyone want enemy dossiers to list interactions with 'Lord Hunger' as a high-tier memetic hazard?!
