Needs to be at 3 for the minimum, and I think we're still at 1 dot, so we've got a while to train for it.
Not for Sorcerous Enlightenment of Yozi. It only requires Essence 3, which we have.
I would, respectfully, disagree. If you could promise to heal Nunnally's legs and eyes, Lelouch would give up anything for it, except perhaps in the last episodes of R2. That is not the sign of someone with insanely high conviction. I agree with Lulu having conviction four, but five is meant to be 'mental disorder' levels of insanity.
If he thought that burning the planet down was what Nunnally would want him to do, he would do it. He currently thinks she wants world peace and the destruction of Brittania, and so those are the goals he works for.
Okay, as for the plan, I've been looking at the Ebon Dragon's charms, and I found some really good charms we should probably pick up. We can't pick up all of them, so I put them into two groups; Social, and Combat. Both get Fate-Rending Desperation (decrease target number for a success by 1 for a scene in exchange for getting it increased by +1 for the rest of the day), Nemesis Self Imagined Anew (allows us to quickly increase our essence) and Life-Denying Hate (a spirit killer, in case we run into any gods).
The Combat side will massively increase our ability to attack from range and surprise, and lets us hit out targets with nasty poisons and effects, enough that we would possibly have been able to solo Aiko. The Social side gets us Our Little Secret, which will help us prevent the Black Knights from being infiltrated, and much of the Golden Years Tarnished Black tree, which lets us easily sow dissent in the Brittanian ranks. They can't really fight us when they all hate each other and are plotting to kill each other, can they? I'm voting for Social, as we already have enough combat exalts coming, but I understand if people want to vote for Combat, so I'm leaving it as an option.
