[] Truth
The continuing the research choice. This feels very in-theme for Ranald and Mathilde. This is especially true for Mathilde as someone who used their super-boon for a huge library and went out of her way to secure a collection of old coins.

I could see a whole bunch of potentially fun things coming from this line of research. Using the fingerprints to learn more about gods, maybe learning how to fingerprint people (think of what we could learn!), somehow using the attuned energy for practical purposes such as disguises or buffs.

The big downside is that it all costs AP.

[ ] Faith
The mystery box option. It could contain anything it could contain a holy smiting, it could contain a boat, it could even contain the Truth.

The obvious temptation is the immediate reward with the risk of getting a booby prize or a smiting. For example it'd be pretty annoying to have our divine coin get locked down and unabled to be used, but pretty awesome to be granted the ability to use multiple sides of the coin at once.

I expect this to be pretty popular, immediate rewards are nice and who wants to spend AP? Also people like Ranald and generally trust him to have Mathilde's back so will probably gamble on the side of getting something good for the action.

[ ] Prudence
Getting nothing for our AP? Nooooooooo!

No risk, no reward. I see this as super unpopular, I know I wouldn't pick it. It's the prudent choice sure, but what kind of badass mega hero picks the prudent choice? Double or nothing, baby!


Ultimately I choose Truth because I feel it best fits Mathilde's themes and it seems pretty interesting.

I don't think there is any point in trying to hide this from Ranald, and if Ranald doesn't like a crystal with his imprint lying in Mathilde's safe, I'd immediately vote for sacrificing it to him.

I also don't see this as a high-priority avenue of research. More like a side-project, which will probably also work best to hide what Mathilde is doing from the wider world. A divine signature here and there, and her understanding grows. A personal project which can indirectly help her with understanding more public projects of hers. Similar like taking necromancy insights to write non-necromancy or anti-necromancy books.

I wonder how a mortal soul compares to an artifact, and if Mathilde could get an imprint off of it. Hmm.

But until then, let us see what books can be written on the nature of the gods. Frolick around picking up minor gods imprintsfor a sample size!
 
Nicking signatures off other gods is an act of devotion to Ranald. Maybe not a wise one. We should definitely have the coin set to nightstalker when we do this.

Prepare a secure container to store the crystal in, with room for many more to come
