[X] [Strong] Ghur, the Brown Wind of Beasts
[X] [Strong] Ghyran, the Green Wind of Life
[X] [Weak] The Lore of Fire
[X] [Weak] The Lore of Death

Okay, hear me out here.

Har Ganeth is an excellent pick for a Covent that's basically a bunch of misfits and loses who've ended up in a place where the local power doesn't trust them, they've got to deal with those catty witch elves, and the sorceress cast list is small enough that our protagonist can personally know all the ones locally and they're in a situation where they may dislike each other, but they have to back each other up in the face of those damn fanatics of the Cult of Khaine.

As for the magic, may I present the concept in two words; Goth Hippy.

Like, she wouldn't put it like this, but this is a woman who if born in another life would have been a genuinely happy and content handmaiden of Alarielle over in Ulthuan. Instead, she's an evil sorceress.

And so she channels her natural tendencies into growing thorns to wrap around her tower, cultivating poisonous blossoms in her garden to give as gifts to people who want access to poison, having a menagerie of monsters who show up when she sings like the world's worst Disney Princess, and engaging in horribly unethical mutative works on creatures to make them even more goth and murderous. Like giving her pet black cat wings so it can fly into trees and eat birds. And giving crows the ability to sing so beautifully that people break into tears so the crows can eat their eyes.

(She's bad at the traditional sorceress activities of "I set you on cursed fire" and "I blight you with death", both as part of this theme and also so she has a chip on her shoulder about it and can try to argue that an army of murderous wildlife is just as good as a fireball, just you wait!)

... yeah, okay, I was already leaning Har-Ganeth-wards (because Khaaaaaiiiiiiine~), and Goth Hippy Evil Sorceress Worst Disney Princess sounds absolutely fabulous, especially with her being bad at the traditional stuff. I'm sold!

Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused.

Interesting how the protagonist just really doesn't seem to be comfortable with how the Druchii operate. Doesn't like slaving, doesn't do the usual "punishments" that other sorceresses would do for touching her stuff, anxious around crowds. Druchii traitor arch incoming?

Yeah, I'm convinced as well by @EarthScorpion . Some BIG Maleficent vibes. And not the totallynotagoodguy vibes of the live action Maleficent.

Basicaly a Crafter build.

Fire is seen as being to emontional and so Weak but with Azyr with have a long distance spells that will fit better on seas plus its utility Divination abilities.

Beast Lore is also see as shame so picked it up as Weak.

And Gold is strong so with Tower of Doom we can be realy good Crafter. And Azyr fits with Coven there helping with business.

Honestly i don't see the point of the vote, we already know our protag is invencible.

You stop. Inhale. Take hold of the writhing thread of magic within your heart and crush it, turning fearful passion and animal panic to hot, murderous power. The dhar coils through your chest, runs through your blood, cradles your mind. It warms you better than any fire, wards you surer than the finest armour. What does it matter what any of those people, nay, those insects think?

She can turn social anxiety into magic. Literal infinite power.

The world is doomed.
