[X] Plan Designing Greatness -[X] Offer to help --[X] You yourself are growing. You have a feeling that you can develop a power to design miraculous objects - magical items straight from fantasy books. When you do, you will make him something to allow him to grasp the power he so wants. Not necessary a crutch, but something to allow him to gain power of his own. ---[X] Work together with him to work out what exactly is that he wants in terms of power. You make no promises of being able to make exactly that, but it's good to know what sort of ability he strives for. ----[X] Empathy excellency ----[X] Stunt: You sit down with Daniel, and dump a load of D&D books, and other media, such as superhero comics, on the table, a fresh character sheet in front of you. Thrusting a cup of cocoa in front of him, you open the first one: "So, let's design who you want to be, shall we?" -[X] Offer training --[X] You now have access to trainers and masters of their arts unknown on Earth. If he is willing, you can arrange for him to be trained in the Courts over vacations at least. ---[X] Christmas vacation is coming up soon and he'll have two weeks off from school. Some of that will need to be spent with the family and Lydia, of course, but we can arrange for him to visit our realm for 9 or 10 days (assuming our parents consent). While there, he'll be trained (i.e. worked into the ground) in FCF combat, weaponry, technology, etc., and sorcery if he proves capable. ---[X] This is only an introduction, however, a chance for him to get his feet wet and an opportunity no one else from Earth has benefited from so far. If he does well and impresses his instructors, we can make further arrangements for him to visit on the weekends, culminating in a more rigorous course over the upcoming Summer.

He's still a scrawny kid, but not nearly so much as a year ago, or even before you received your Exaltations. "You want to be more, do more. I get it, believe me. Do you want to survive, too? Live a long, happy life, one where you outlive mom and dad rather than forcing them to bury their eldest son?" You pause, but not quite long enough to give him the opportunity to interject. "I can help you, but if you want that help you've got to do it right. I've got resources you can hardly imagine, and I'll make them available to you. Be patient, put in the work, and let's see what happens. What do you say?"
