I find this a bit optimistic. At most I think we'll see Gaerig become something like a child pouring water on ant-paths, acting with obvious lethality and just not giving the collateral any worth.
I suppose you could call that maturing, but since the latter is a behavour I mainly see in kids (whereas being blind to consequences is unfortunately universal) I really wouldn't count it as such.
I like to think it's the natural course of devolpment and actual narrativ reason for us to pick up things like spirit of death or spirit of destruction
A lot of Gaerigs obviousness and sheer childishness is that she cannot grasp the consequences of her actions, to her all is fun and games because as far as she is aware nobody get's really hurt from her actions unless she want to harm them
However whenever we pick up a trait we get narrative understanding about what the trait is about, like Humanity for example, after picking it up despite being only a minor aspect Gaerig got a huge narrative shift,
I expect the same to happen here again, we most likely will get the understanding that our actions can and will kill humans or other things for that matter, however at the same time we will probably realize that everybody and everything can and will die,
following that line of thought Gaerig will probably not care or be upset about their deaths since from her PoV they would have died either way since Death is inevitable
well or Mischief and Death will result in some kind of deadly Temptress, the classical Siren so to speak, which I think we could even reinforce if we manage to pick up the actual trait and which actual would be my favorite narrative outcome
*dry tone*
Then maybe you shouldn't have picked the Ascension that had DEATH and DESTRUCTION painted all over it
*sigh*
No but seriously, I can't see that happen outside of mother of monster, our other actions have just too much narrative weight that I can't see us picking up Spirit of Motherhood or Ferility outside of a ritual and even these require us to convince the majority that it is something they want, which with a limited trait cap and an ever increasing trait list will become more difficult as time goes on
I wish you luck, since I would like to see these traits as well, but I honestly don't think we will
Untrue. Powerofmind has repeatedly said that individual traits are irrelevant to one's status as a fear or faith spirit. Fear Spirits can have Fertility traits, Faith can have Death Traits.
I meant it more in the sense that as a major fear spirit we are naturally destructive on such a scale that not killing anybody is a near impossible thing for us to do and as such qualify as a spirit of death and destruction regardless of what we do ad´nd was meant in the context of losing Spirit of Death
I think you're overlooking the true culprit of Gaerig's immaturity, namely Spirit of Mischief. It is very likely the reason why she doesn't recognize consequences of her actions.
Sorry but that is untrue, Gaerig had already that blind spot before picking up Mischief,
On the matter of Gaerig's immaturity while it's true that Mischief is the source of Gaerig's childishness, is is still just a Spirit-level trait, the same as Spirit of Death, as such it shouldn't have more narrative weight than Spirit of Death will have
So at best we can hope for the narrative of Gearig is that she will go and become a deadly Temptress, at worst the combination will turn her in a classic fae from fairytales for children, deadly, childish and cruel
