If the contest was fair, sure. But if others bribe the judges and we don't....We shall win on our own merit, I'm sure
[X] A gift of money is often thought to be obvious, but certainly could help with Arimi's gambling debts, for instance. The ones he's complained about before.
Practically speaking, this is going to help mitigate a vulnerability(debts tend to get purchased and exploited by the worst people who might). Slight sense of rebuke attached of course, but he already dropped hints for us.
[X] Her quarters, perhaps when she is in the library, studying in quiet.
Hmm, I'd like to see her in her own environment

Hmm, I agree with the reasoning.

Yeah, I'll start writing in a second. I'm writing up a supernatural evil STD for my RPG game that you can be given by a vengeful evil ghost at the moment, and I can't stop that until I'm done.

What is weird is that you feel the need to clarify it is an EVIL STD.Yeah, I'll start writing in a second. I'm writing up a supernatural evil STD for my RPG game that you can be given by a vengeful evil ghost at the moment, and I can't stop that until I'm done.

Well, it literally changes the victim's vice to fit the person who spent a large amount of Necrotic Energy giving it to them while they are experiencing a flare-up, you have to *choose* to give it to other people as the originator, and it literally can't be entirely cured except by magic.
So, it actually does fit evil.
Also, since it's magic, the PC can give it to other people with hugs or sharing a hand-cooked meal with them. Though the ghost species that they learn it from is too one-track to use it in any way other than 'possess a mortal, then pass on the magical STD'. Ghosts are pretty unimaginative, sometimes.

.....
Why?

Because types of ghosts can range, and I felt like doing it. There's also the drowning ghosts, the ghosts that protect places important to them before they died, the ghosts of daughters murdered by their families for crossing some moral boundary, and the ghost of a baroness who died a horrible plague-filled death in a swamp castle and now has an army of ghostly servants doing her will and etc.
The power to give someone a horrible illness fits right in with drowning people with one's powers, guarding a place and getting stronger while one is in it, stealing the breath from someone and thus killing them...and everything else.
So yeah, it's evil and hateful, but then so are the types of ghosts who so hate how they died and are so caught in the memories of the acts that wound up killing them that they became ghosts and tried to possess and hurt more and more people until they're stopped.
Which they can be, and which you can do, actually. I mean, if you're learning their worst capstone power (that you have to work towards) you're probably already a horrible person, so--
"Horrible person with tons of supernatural power can use that power to do horrible things, news at twelve."
