Lealope's plan has some merit, and is a different sort of risk-taking. Torn as I am between that, This Is The End, and Forfeiture, I will

For now, and vote strategically for whichever of those three stands the best chance of overcoming All Things Must Die on its own.

All Things Must Die is not as bad as it seems for thanks to From You, Six Thousand Years Ago we no longer have nightmares as such All Things Must Die would only have us remember our forgotten childhood nightmares the real question becomes can we overcome the San Damage

I detest any plan that reduces our hard earned raw power. Fuck that shit.

The Red Truth at the bottom is worse than either. My aversion to All Things Must Die chiefly stems from it.

Pain is good for the soul.
No !,No Rationalist!Harry ,the bullcrap in MoR fucked up my thought processes for months after reading it ,I think I still have residual trauma from it ,and the world background that Birdse built is eerily similar to that thing's world background ,I'm not taking the risk ....

[X] For the Future
Given the Apocryphal Curse, hardships are inevitable.
Gaining power in response to it, therefore, is a big deal.
Also, another note: As Singularity doesn't increase our base Magic Power but instead adds a virtual 3.5, we only pay 0.25 by doing this.
Also, I generally consider not repeating the mistakes of the past a good thing, so learning of the memories seems like a high priority to me.
Sidenote:
That was a whole thing in Umineko.
"They" could be Harry and his past incarnations, it could be some enemy of his past self, it could be an innocent, or anything in between.

I don't rally get this ,could someone explain ?

We chose this path the moment we took Dark Arts. The day we forfeited reviving Dursley's.
If Harry's going to suffer, he's going to harness said suffering for strength.

Let alone a Gold Truth or equivalent that we can write into the cosmos. There is risk in forgetting too, as they may be condemned either way, and Harry would be unable to stop it due to ignorance. I am somewhat more inclined towards For The Future now, with the main argument against it now being that Harry getting hit with it right before Convocation may make it more difficult, and that it would be better to take this in more peaceful times. Will more peaceful times ever come, however?
That, in addition to For The Future leading over All Things Must Die on its own, leads me to, still tentatively, change to
[X] For The Future
We will save them. Someday, they will know happiness.

The main reason I'm going for it is exactly that. Truths don't stop being true just because you don't know the details. If something relevant to us is going through pain again and again and again in an infinite loop, we need to know what it is if we actually want a shot at overcoming it.

To quote from before:
"However, you still cannot remember your dreams, for your own safety."
If there's an endless time loop going on, Harry remembering all the prior loops could be mind-shattering. We need a functional protagonist, first and foremost. I don't think the benefit of foreknowledge is worth the cost when our possibly prior/future self already made the call that our best bet is not having the memories.
We don't, though. The knowledge might help, but we could also have faith in our own abilities and judgment.
That which does not kill you

A note, but Magicka Primeval gives us +0.175 Magic Power (I asked Birdsie and he said it worked off of base, not Singularity boosted), so taking it with Black Out the Sky is a net -0.075 Magic Power, which is an incredibly marginal loss.
I'd genuinely recommend for anyone to vote for it, tbh, no matter what your plan is. Recouping 0.075 Magic Power is incredibly simple.
In exchange, our casting is streamlined (can mumble without issue), and we learn faster from Sprout, who is not only the Herbology professor but apparently an expert in Patronuses.
Given that we can get the Infinite Patronus, that ain't bad at all.
EDIT: Edit made, the one-tenth addition is after the 0.25 loss. Even so, 0.075 is something we can easily recover, given that Magical Power is easier to gain at lower numbers.

I just realized: something like my Gold Truth above may lead Harry to summon something like the laser Patronus from earlier (only more powerful) to fulfill it.

[X] Forfeiture - Do not pick anything here.
If we were older I'd be more inclined to remember the nightmares, but Harry is still a kid and I worry about the impact of so much mental instability.

You guys better not sacrifice even more magical power for some unsubstantial benefit. We already lost a whopping 2 tiers from not picking hermetic, if we sac even that tiny amount I will weep blood.
