This also makes me wonder if Elixer has a true quintessence equivalent or if when you reach that level the substances end up the same. Is the true quintessence simply the ultimate understanding of dross substances, a substance born from the meta singularity, or something stemming only from findross? I am really curious now. Also does this mean the foremost were a race of True quintessence users. Makes it honestly that much more attractive to me, particularly because our access to the advancement is through the cloak not edeldross. I wonder did the foremost make the cloak or perhaps they learnt from it.

Apocrypha had a counter to Rank, why not Stat? Her magic is extremely versatile so I wouldn't be surprised if she can do something about Threefold amount of Stats.
This battle shows our skewed build needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

Thanks. I must have missed that and the note at the bottom of the update as I read through it.
Huh, so Augustine's runic magic was derived from the runes of the ithilyor, that's elegant. She even reinvented Bloodcasting there at the end.

You already have Whiteout! Which contributed to Hunger taking effectively no damage this encounter.
What a truly powerful Grace...
That effect (severing the Astral) actually auto-kills anyone who doesn't have enough Rank, as their soul is no longer able to communicate with their body. Rank is greatness of spirit, while Pressure is the gravity generated thereby, and your spirit needs to be immensely potent to survive the disjunction of realms!

... I have a question, and I really can't find an answer (even using statement index):
What is a full step mitigation? Is it a set % of reduction of it's raw power, or some change in curses' functioning?
It's ten percent, Grand Nullification is really good. The Apocryphal Curse should be at 72.5% power now.

Full Step means a stage. Grand Nullification does it a stage beyond what she earlier did, which is a stage. Thus, Ren. Woman gives 2 Stage Mitigation to all Curses.
We also have 15% (or is it 25, if global Grand Nullification includes the first stage too?) incidental reduction of the Geas from this and the All-Defeating Stance! Schrödinger's mitigation, undefined until such a time as it would become relevant, truly a potent technique.

Oh wow.
If 100% Apocryphal Proc was a roll with DC100, then this made an inescapable death merely challenging.
Edit: ... The % works through rolls, right? 80% Tyrant is 80% to proc?

I kind of hope not, tbh. The Probabalistic Doom of the Tyrant doesn't have the same weight in terms of literary Flaws.

uh, holy shit, a lot happened while I PVP'd and went to the grocery store, huh? I've gotta make dinner and then I'll properly catch up, but real quick:
@LordOfMurder , uhhh seeing as we have unexpectedly secured Renaissance Woman without a vote, I'll go ahead and just convert that RW-specific Microwave marker into a regular vetoless marker, and I'll get to work on that Renaissance Woman Gisena art I was planning on. Use the marker wisely!

Us feeble questers: "Man I wish Gisena wasn't such a banter bot, doesn't she do anything else?"
Gisena, superior lifeform: "I already know about the secrets of the Foremost, Letrizia's actual family situation and the true nature of the Tyrant's Doom, but I never seem to get a good opportunity to say something about it. Truly, being such an incredible genius is a heavy burden..."

So, considering that Gisena got Renaissance Woman by herself at a whopping 28-Arete discount, what do you think about potentially getting RW II, the next time we're offered her Companion EFB?
After all, the best way to compound a growth curve is to jump to a higher spot. When that growth-curve is boosted by Retinue, that's especially relevant.
More importantly though, Hunger's covered on the pure-power angle of things. While Renaissance Woman is fabulous for utility on its own, getting even more would completely squash that problem.
Just look at this update. Hunger's only recourse was to power through against Augustine's multifarious utility effects, and he'd have taken serious drawbacks considering he'd have to burn his essence for power, if not for Gisena's timely ascension.

GISENA.
GOOD.
Seriously though, a look inside of her head was such a treat. Just absolutely loved this update. Actual reaction to follow.
@ReaderOfFate this part of your signature is a little bit hilarious now.

Man, @Sharkey_smt in shambles.
Hmm, people were speculating before as to whether the three Foremost castes were actually the three races of the Manifest Realm engaged in jolly cooperation, but what if it's the opposite? The Manifest Realm could instead be a very, very post-apocalyptic Foremost colony that after the civilization's mysterious disappearance split along caste lines. And the Maiden could have been an atavistic throwback like Augustine herself, and the Elves could have pieced together enough to manufacture a throwback of their own with the Hero out of Legend. Interesting to think about.

Hunger's Hobby is fishing. The problem is that it doesn't count as relaxation due to him doing it to the uttermost. Any other hobbies he gets would probably face the same problem. I don't think relaxation is even in the guys vocabulary.
