Nah, she has a set one. As does Gisena if you managed to give her one, though Gisena's would be supremely redundant...

There is a bunch of old Rihaku Quests on SB. Three? Two? Variations of Odyssial/Ulyssian quests, Dnd Wizard in Warhammer, Grail War Quest with Hector, Bleach Quest, Naruto Jonin Quest, Stillborn Paladin Quest (dark times, forum hardware was dying and running quests was basically impossible) and a couple of others I can't recall out of hand.
Not all aged perfectly, but all still have that Rihaku Flavor from what I remember. Out of these, Jonin and Bleach Quest are most like modern Rihaku style games, IIRC. IIRC. It was awhile I might be talking out of my ass.

Yeah, reliable healing in a tech-based civ's an exorbitantly value service, more than enough to outweigh needing to navigate our personality. And hey, Fate's a full Sign of the Diagram! That tracks with a 7-Arete Imaginary Element being versatility on par with a single school of magic. First Slice Fate and now this, is Rihaku trying to tell us something?
Well, if she ever decides to found the Intergalactic Fun Police, she can acquire abilities equal to the task! As expected of a genius... though the first person she'd have to arrest would be herself.

It doesn't take much for the underdog options to become competitive at this stage! Just look at how Vertex has surged against Surgecraft itself! Market Day, Bloodwraith, Technological Solutions - all have substantial benefits in the here and now, versus the mostly potential based pick of Hot Springs. Plus, while killing Rotspawns will get you lots of money, it's not like you can't get those picks from somewhere else, such as Middle Temple Outriders or the like.

Well, hotsprings comes with a major boost to our chances of healing a second condition. Which is very nice.
And we can never be sure when we next get picks, so we should do so now before we lose our nerve and spend arete on something other than Cut Through.
Also we have two people indentured until it comes up so I feel obligated to help them out.

Closer to 4.
I mean, we generated 8.2 arete last update. And there was a major fight around that time thanks to the events of Sky Above Sky.

Well, what else could you expect of a Cursebearer quest? The Infinite Post Husk means this thread will only grow swifter with time and length.

So that's why Arete generation value goes up the more we post!

It must be raining somewhere else!
Will we ever learn more about Faust Alberich? Can Ishida take on Yhwach? Will we ever get back to Geomancy? Find out next time on Rihaku Lore Z!

I realized something. The fact initiating into Vertexes takes picks or arete means we may not ever actually initiate into it.

Uhh, I almost want to ask you if you're sure, but you're rarely uncertain about things. Those are pretty high octane nifty. As in, makes the One Ring look like a cheap toy. Heck, the Sun and Moon in that setting were discount replacements created because the Valar didn't have access to the Silmarils.
And the Ruling Ring is fairly nice as it is.

Another thing. From a meta standpoint, Surgecraft is more likely to be compatible with Verschlengorge by virtue of the fact it takes us investing blood awakening effort into Letrezia to make that happen.
I'll note that Sword Praxis can be developed to be as versatile as you'd like, right to the point of, yes, enabling broad spectrum reality-warping by SORD'ing enough. Remember Null Slice?
We also have a discounted 18 Arete Ruling ring that gives us the approximately the same ability set, and also gives us ++allstats and ++Progression.
I am just saying, if you feel like 25 Arete Surge is your one way to getting broad cool conceptual abilities, well. Don't? We have a bunch of ways to get there. We even got discounts on those paths. Considerable ones. Ring costs 18 and could be bought piece by piece, Cut Through 18.
And it would also work in dimensions where Surge would just shut down and cease functioning, too.

As a sidenote, Vertex isn't a good magic system for Letrizia, not if she wants to achieve any real attainments. She's been exposed to the Decimation from a young age; no matter what mitigation effects she pursues, she might not have the lifespan necessary to create high level drones. Meanwhile, she's supremely well suited to Surgecraft, being a passionate, fiery person.
And it's just more obviously magical too. Don't you want to protect Letrizia's smile? Then give her the ability to launch Imaginary Element fire blasts.

It's also more capable of producing effects actually relevant at his scale!
Rereading the options, can I just say that high-tier Vertices requiring lifespan is pure oof from Letrizia's perspective? The Decimation's not an insoluble problem in the medium term with our Ring, but casting from longevity's not something she'd enjoy. Though to Hunger it's a renewable resource, and I bet we can rapidly regenerate our youth by investing further in the Slumber of Aeons skill tree. Surgecraft feels cool and personal, very much my speed. But with Vertex and our mantle, we can truthfully tell those opposed to us that all the stars in the Evening Sky are their enemies!

So for the sake of random epileptic trees, there's an energy source called the Bleak Light that got mentioned in Even Further Beyond in Broken Kaleidoscope.

I'm not fully sure what meta-technological applications means here, but for ludicrously overpowered light sources that may be what casts the shadow on the Astral Plane from having a high Astral Rank, could this be it?
