We should hopefully be able to afford Completion as well as fishing thereby sidestepping the issue for two years. Besides Gisena can provide Curse mitigation herself on top of what we pick. That should buy us enough time to pursue the options to increase her sorceress level.
Besides fishing probably is cathartic! It's some nice leisure time vigorously pursuing a hobby! It'll also give us some happy memories to burn for power when we inevitably have to dust off our forbidden secret technique.
@LordOfMurder I just noticed this(The previous tag was this in another post), I was actually being generous with my estimation of her death in 25 years. Taking rudimentary(Read: Mitigation measures with non universe scale energy costs, speculating on what she can provide at baseline) into account. Possibly Conclusion too depending on how good our bad the mitigation she can provide is.
I'm also operating under the assumption we aren't reaching 8 arete by the time Rihaku's next update comes out. Seriously, from a math standpoint, we must scrabble at basically every mitigation opportunity and get Gisena Findross if she's to have any hope of a mortal baseline lifespan.
I don't recall Gisena having a passive nullity aura that's active all the time so her powers might not protect her. That's assuming it's a steady drain over time that we don't notice. If it's a once a year effect and we can tell when it happens then we can just give her a heads up to blast us or use her nova.
The fact we can get a 1 month total reprieve, or 6 months of half drain means it's a steady drain you're correct there.
Before anything else, your math assumes that lifespan is static thing that can't be added to. There is no reason to believe that every living thing is born with finite amount of lifeforce they spend through the life, that's just silly.
Is it?
No matter how healthily you live, no matter how much nutrition you got as a baby, without sci-fi hardware or sufficiently powerful magic(Whether we find some or get distracted by other shiny things is up in the air), your telomeres fray just the same. All you can hope to do is slow it down. Spend your life force more efficiently over time.
Update is done, writing vote options. We're not quite at 6 Arete though. Depends on a number of factors, Sorceresses of her power usually don't age much and she's still young (only a few years older than Jeanne, who was 19). If she continues to grow in power, it's possible that she can...

Depends on a number of factors, Sorceresses of her power usually don't age much and she's still young (only a few years older than Jeanne, who was 19). If she continues to grow in power, it's possible that she can outscale the drain for a time. She's got CON 50 under Quantified World, which is a fair bit beyond peak human, so her natural lifespan is probably 2-3 hundred years.
Important PSA: Lesser Remittances do not grant immediate power. The best they can do is strengthen your Primary Remittance some, but if your Primary Remittance has a starting power of 0 due to being purely potential-based, like The Sword, that would not solve your problem. It would give people...

It will reduce everyone's lifespan in the radius by 10% per year. Very unhealthy people could die, yes.
Gisena's in her early 20s. Let's say 22.(Edit: In hindsight my numbering may be off by 1, for her to be 22 after 1 year means shes 21 right now)
Assuming no mitigation and us getting distracted by shinies/finding the cost of getting her sufficient Findross to Coalesce unacceptable, her lifespan looks like this.
Year 1: Age 22/Lifespan 270
Year 2: Age 23/Lifespan 243
Year 3: Age 24/Lifespan 218.7
Year 4: Age 25/Lifespan 196.83
Year 5: Age 26/Lifespan 177.147
Year 6: Age 27/Lifespan 159.4323
Year 7: Age 28/Lifespan 143.48907
Year 8: Age 29/Lifespan 129.140163
Year 9: Age 30/Lifespan 116.2261467
Year 10: Age 31/Lifespan 104.60353203
Year 11: Age 32/Lifespan 94.143178827
Year 12: Age 33/Lifespan 84.7288609443
Year 13: Age 34/Lifespan 76.2559748499
Year 14: Age 35/Lifespan 68.6303773649
Year 15: Age 36/Lifespan 61.7673396284
Year 16: Age 37/Lifespan 55.5906056656
Year 17: Age 38/Lifespan 50.031545099
Year 18: Age 39/Lifespan 45.0283905891
Year 19: Age 40/Lifespan 40.5255515302
Gisena doesn't even have 20 years traveling with us if we don't mitigate Decimators and/or get her Findross.
