And according to Word of God (in PM conversation), anything covered by the definition of your element is affected by your affinity, boosting any and all skills and abilities related to it.
I mean, of the three I have, I think it has the most potential. My first is basically useful to speed up growth which, while useful, doesn't do much on its own. The fire one is a really nice modifier, and I have plans for it, but this third one is an entire new stat. I'm planning my build around it to some extent, and it will be glorious.
I have the lucky combo of Reality's Awareness and Wu Xing Wood, the latter of which has eyes as one of the associated organs.
This will let me, among other things, couple it with Instant Deconstruction to grind crafting like a bastard by salvaging materials from abandoned stuff then recycling my attempts while Observing to figure out what I did wrong in each case and improve. Maybe I'll be able to get up to Structural Analysis levels with enough focused effort.
If I understand instant deconstruction right, it also works on things like food, so grinding cooking becomes possible without being wasteful.jj

Fair. You have a really good crafting build. I'm going more for an action movie samurai thing. High Luck and parkour to move around quickly, plus lots of fire and cool weapons. Not sure what else the fire stuff will do for me, but we'll see.

The hope is to use it to increase my swordsmanship and archery skills at a very fast rate. Then I can invest in Dex and Luk, and hopefully I won't need much Str to deal ludicrous damage. That's what I do in Fallout.
It'll help if I can figure out the more esoteric aspects of fire. Because arrows that turn things into ash sound super useful.
Unnamed):Spend X luck. Hit enemies debuffed with -X/3 luck.
