No, I mean every circumstance because we don't have a focus and we won't be getting one for a long time. If only for the reason that the other Occult options are going to be easier and more valuable.

Maybe? Trait says occult checks, so it would have to be quests or occult national actions searching for it.

A bit late, but I'd still like to follow up on this not-particularly-subtle hint that there might be more to the last phase of the auction than dismissing the specific details from our successful Intrigue checks, throwing literally all of our money at one item, and calling it a day.
Taking a look at the cookbook:
Vague interest: Minimum bid of 4, plebs lost out to Doof and Xanatos.
Mild interest: Bid of 5, +1/+25% above the minimum, tie between Doof and Xanatos.
Extrapolating from there:
Normal Interest: Unknown. Probably +2/+50% above the minimum.
High Interest: Unknown. Maybe as much as double the minimum.
Now, looking at the talisman:
It's going to be one of the hottest items of the night because a large number of people are interested in it - but without bidding wars on the table, that just means a lot of people are going to lose their bid on it. All we care about is what the peak interest in the item is, which is... unknown. But I haven't seen any specific reason any of the other players here would specifically go for the astral projection talisman, so I'm going to peg the talisman as having Normal Interest.
So a bet of 10 would probably get us to a coin flip.
The only confirmed interest we have in the Morganian edition is Janna's and we fully passed this check. And I don't think Xanatos would pick the Morganian Encantus out of the two listed here. Given how many people are going in for the talisman and Merlinean encantus, with some of the Evil Attention probably going towards the witch's spellbook, we might not be contested at all if we bet on the Morganian edition. At worst, I expect a minimum bet should force us into a coin flip.
So I'm willing to gamble on this:

So you say when Sorcerer's Apprentice magic seems to fit Doof exceedingly well.
Are you even reading my posts?

I've got a bad feeling about this but I'm willing to back you guys up.
It's going to be a hard thing getting enough people to flip.
Best of luck.

I am. I also see that what you're saying is conjecture.
Maybe making a Catalyst would be exceptionally difficult with just general knowledge of what a Catalyst is for Janna or Kitsune.
They have personalized instruction in the form of the book.
Anyways, I'll be changing my vote to whichever Encantus has more votes.

I'm willing to swap over. Bit of a risk, but if it pans out we win big.

Same, I'd rather have a 50% chance of an encnatus than nothing.

Depends on the talisman. I mean, some of them like the Strenght one, the Speed one, and the Invisibility one would be major boosts to someone who can already use Ki blasts and is inhumanly tough and strong.
The Tiger talisman (at least the Jackie Chan one) might synergize immensely with Ki users because it's all about Spiritual Balance, so it is presumably a nice boost to their abilities.
That said, Ki abilities in and of themselves are amazing. Hego with Ki Blasts and even more strenght and durability is an amazing all-rounder, and Khan?!
We are hoping to get her job-shadowing Mirage, writers said that might be interesting, and she might pick up useful skills.The thing is, we were also told to put her on tasks and have her do interesting things so she could get some character development and become consequential. But if Vanessa's contribution to the situation is always "and Vanessa was also there," then that doesn't happen...
You know, I just now realized, Xanatos bought an infinite magical battery and a sword that can siphon magical energy, neatly side-stepping the problem of just the Star itself.I'm pretty sure Xanatos used, like... a real investment banker or something.

Unless draining it like that destabilizes it, causing it to release all of its power at once. If we hear New York is now a crater, we know who to blame.
There is no reason to assume that any of them have experience in making a Catalyst. We do have a reason to assume that it would be difficult. One, if it was easy we Sorcerers would have more catalysts lying around as spares incase they lost their main catalyst. Two, for stuff like research alchemy, create magical defenses, and tarot readings we had simple information around to access or heroes who already were experienced to do it for us.
We might have the former and we won't have the latter.

Seems to be gaining traction, so I'll swap. Gap between the all-in tailsman and the next one is big enough that I think it's fine, awayway

choosing the morganian encantus is going to bite all of us in the ass, so i'll be keeping with Merlinian, thank you.
Talisman is also a better choice than either EVIL MAGIC BOOK. Giving Janna, and by extension Felldrake, access to an encantus that is literally EVIL is a bad idea. Remember that Horvath's Staff is his catalyst, and what does Janna have? a big ass staff with a wizard's soul literally inside it. getting the morganian encantus or the witch book is absolutely terrible in terms of them remaining on our side.

That sounds like heresy.
There has to be a market for getting Catalysts (after all, there's a demand for them), which the Encantus should also be able to direct us to.

[X] Plan: Expert Advice
I don't think splitting our bids is a good idea. I'm going in on this, mostly regardless of which item it actually bids on, because it's the top plan that puts everything down on one item and a split plan is starting to catch on.

First of all,
, second of all that is disingenuous, third do you think Morganians would give a fuck about that?Prove that Catalysts can be bought on the Market. The Encantus might be able to direct us to it.
