This ability does not translate into raw magical power, but rather into magical understanding. You can perceive and understand the flow of mana, its nature and its "needs", you can intuitively grasp the purposes and designs of complex magical systems and mechanisms, both natural and man-made. You are more easily able to understand spells and magical phenomena, how they work and why they function as they do, the forces at play within each incantation and the mechanisms for its effect. This also allows you to easily identify and dissect any magic cast in your vicinity, learning its origin, workings, and even discerning its likely purpose. This knowledge may be shared with others freely, to help them see the world as you do.

>>98905836>info on the power of my wish'Probably on a comparable level to some high-tier angelic being, some kind of "reverse Archon" (if Archons are the fun police charged with keeping the universe stable and preventing reality manipulation). The sorts of celestial sculptors you might imagine to have shaped the universe once it was created back in the day, so less "I snap my fingers and 2+2=5" and more "I can manipulate reality as normal people can clay"'The idea is to lead people into an age of peace and enlightenment using my insane charisma and intelligence, start a magical Renaissance, and use my miracle granted power to deal with any threats, up to and including all the quests. While I do have a ton of oaths, my incredible power should enable me to fufill them with some creativity.
>>98905836>I wish for reality warping power, as much as I can get.Lmao, it sounded like a super selfish wish. With Dawn having to water it down and make it more humble and charitable. I only remember that the oaths were hella harsh so hope they align with you as a person or something. Cool anyway.>>98905827I´m most certain the majority of anons have a job, go to school or otherwise have lives outside of this hobby. Yes i´m sure...

>>98905896Next verse, same as the first>Experiment 1: Talent DiscountMaking a builds where your talent rating in one aura type provides a discount. This is to make basic techniques cheap, master techniques slightly less ecpensive, and leave legend techniques largely the same.Compare your "G" rating to the rating required for a technique, if you G rating is higher it subtracts it's value from the point cost.Example:Seismic Strike costs 6 points to buy.Your build has G3 in Core.Seismic Strike only requires G1.Seismic Strike now only costs 3 points for you.>Experiment 2: Aura Burst ModeKufoku mentions you'll be able to Double your points after completing an Aura Burst campaign, so why not make builds for that?Make a standard build for your freshly summoned conscript, then making Another build for your conscript after completing all their campaign missions.The second build gets build and equipment points equal to their starting "Potential"(45 for talented, 35 for mutated, etc). They get no bonus alterations.Given how the "Prodigy" alteration works,, double these bonus points points for your second build, but equipment points are not doubled>Experiment #3The Aura costs of techniques is reduced by taking Training. Each training reduces a specific category of techniqued by 1 star at initiate, 2 stars at master, and 3 stars at legend.The category of Techniques a Training effects are specific.Skill Training can reduce aura cost for a techniques below 1, but doesn't make a technique free. Techniques with on aura cost below 1 have a cost from 0.75 to 0.25 of one star
WHERE SOFTIE???
>>98905940>Next verse, same as the firstI'm tired of this song.
>>98905946Don't encourage him.
>>98905940How long are you gonna keep reposting my shit?
>>98905939B-But he made Radient, so he must still be with us now, lurking. He was just a boy... TwT
>>98905916Gilu ;-;
>>98905896Limitless Meridians
>>98906025But you only get so many positive boons.Feels like a waste.>tfw used one of my boons to be able to just drink more alcohol
>>98906025Prodigy.
>>98906035>Feels like a waste.???
Let us imagine the following situation:You are in a spiritually defined polycule, where each member is the soul mate of every other member. (If you are heterosexual, this will mean you and a number of bisexual women)This love will be large but equal between all members.Assuming you will spend an equal amount of time with each member of the group, how many women would you be willing to add?Threesomes are real, but at a certain point you would be losing time to one girl for another, and would effectively be spread thin
>>98906041Sacred Fountain!
>>98905867>I only remember that the oaths were hella harsh
>>98906047>cool, it's been a while since I thought about a thread questi-->waifushit>haremshit to bootMeh.
>>98906025>>98906041It's fucking weird how inconsistent boons are. Some of them are must haves like the potentialman set, some of them are build defining like Prana Vulture, and then there's fucking Pure Body, which is so shit it's worse than many Drawbacks.Future authors take notes and make sure your perks/drawbacks stay consistent.
>>989060473
>>98906065n=2 is a valid solution, I'm just wondering about the abstract nature of anons loveWe can have another question next thread if you want
>>98906068>which is so shit it's worse than many Drawbacks.It's not That bad anon.
>>98905867>With Dawn having to water it down and make it more humble and charitable.Thats because the entire cyoa is wank and the light is an asshole. "oh you wish for power? Well heres a book and some wisdom, because really knowledge is power and by learning philosophy youre going to see how futile your pursuit of power is".Condescending dick.
>>98906047three or four lets you spend all your romance time with all of them simultaneously, any more than that and it wouldn't be as meaningful anymore so you'd need different subgroups
>>98906047Five, thats how many i chose in entropist.
>>98905970>B-But he made Radient>he doesent know
>>98906078It's genuinely a bigger powerboost to take Sealed Power or Malevolent Possession than Pure Body.Even fucking Lifelink is more useful with Pain Disposition.
>>98905867> With Dawn having to water it down and make it more humble and charitable. Idk I think I ended up pretty powerful. > I only remember that the oaths were hella harsh so hope they align with you as a person or something.The oaths are generally things I would like to try to live up to anyway so it's fine.
>>98906078It absolutely is. Just like Maki and Toji you can style on low level losers, but can't really do shit against true tops of the setting.
>>98906047>polycule>NTRshit
>>98906085He DID make itI just know he didI have no proofBut I know it is true
>>98906047>how many women would you be willing to add?One. Because why would I want to spend less time with my waifu?
>>98906102>>98906065Back to R*ddit.
>>98906113what if your waifu suddenly revealed she had two twin sisters with the practically same personality and all three of them will be very sad if you don't also accept the other two
>>98906080I'd say that's a very reasonable line>>98906070>>98906083Plausible>>98906102You can pick to have one and only one waifu, but then you have one and only one.It's a symmetric type of thing. More spiritually profound>>98906113B-Based?
>>98906099>but can't really do shit against true tops of the setting.Are you talking about people like Mai or people like the Trigram? Because the former absolutely can be beaten with Pure Body and the latter aren't losing in a straight up fight whether or not you have Pure Body.
>>98906113Because you're spending time with another waifu (while she's also spending time with another of your common waifus)Keep it, brainlet
>>98906120Anon when your girlfriend asks you if you think her friends/sisters are hot: youre not meant to say "yes actually"
>>98906068They don't need to stay consistent, they're doing more important things than pleasing some symmetry autism.
>>98906131Wouldn't she be happy for her friends? They keep hyping each others up. It's not even flirting.
>>98906131>his "waifu" plays mind gamesnot a real waifu, just pick the polycule, you'll be happier
>>98906126>people like the TrigramThis. I seriously doubt that Mai is the strongest even among our possible companions.
>>98906141Women often try to betray eachother, and as of such consider eachother to be perpetual threats
>>98905916I love this cyoa so much. It got me to read the webnovels (partway through Pale now) and create my own fanfic area of New England focused on a small town trying to stave off being absorbed by the ruler of a neighboring city.Benefactor: A StrangerProperty: A CabinSight (Something Else): Detects Deception and Obfuscation but doesn't necessarily reveal the truth.Routes:> Nurture Karma> Appeal to Spirits> Bind the Weak> Deal with Men> Accept a Role> Pursue an AllianceWhite Marks:> Implement> Fortunate Match Black Marks:> A Rival> DisfavoredThe idea behind the build is essentially that I stumble onto all this when I bought A CABIN from A STRANGER. At this point I'm in way over my head. In the process stepping on the toes of some established practitioners which lead to both my RIVAL and being DISFAVORED.In the hopes of course correcting I ACCEPTED A ROLE as a steward and watchmen of the forest in which I purchased my cabin. In the guise of PURSUING AN ALLIANCE an established Family contacted me in regards to forming a bond through marriage. I would later learn that my proposed groom was considered to be a bit of a black sheep and troublemaker for them. A complete brat may be an accurate description. Our union being unable to produce 'unworthy' offspring was considered a bonus in their eyes. I will however continue to try.
>>98906149it's so sad you're plagued by these problems even in fantasy, w*men are truly despicable creatures to have have hurt you this badly
>>98906142>polyculeA waifu not playing mind games isn't a real woman and you're no better than the twink fucker.
>>98906046Like bro, just buy a deeper pool?
>>98906147Mai is explicitly one of Yondu's strongest fighters, and has a bunch of Great and a Legendary technique. She's certainly in the running for Strongest Companion.
>>98906126>and the latter aren't losing in a straight up fight whether or not you have Pure BodyAlso, I can believe that competent enough builds can become serious threats for them in a direct fight. Not at the start, obviously, even with Overpowered, but eventually. But I don't believe in Pure Jokes at all, there are simply no realistic chances of that.
>>98906162No respect for Phaselets.
>>98906141>Wouldn't she be happy for her friends?On some level? Sure. But would you be happy if your GF mentioned how hot your friend was? Probably not, even if that was a really close friend and under any other circumstance you would be happy for them hearing that.
>>98906068I like that they can help enhance a theme even if they're not mechanically optimal
>>98906126>and the latter aren't losing in a straight up fight whether or not you have Pure Body.Anon, the Trigram have lost to the G2 topping 1 affinity scrubs in the city between before. One of them is currently Dead.You can absolutely train up to trigram level and take one out, it's been done.
>>98906176>But what if the roles were reversed?!They're not though. A good girlfriend isn't supposed to be jealous about other women. You know men are always trying to get some, so the suspicion on your side is warranted.
>>98906187>>98906126i don't think there's a strict trigram level, this actually isn't cultivation, everyone is on the same level
>>98905902(inflation adjusted)>Human whole genome sequencing2001: 179 000 000 $2022: 598 $300 000 x difference>1 MB storage1958: 84 000 $2026: 0.000075 $1 100 000 000 x differenceIt's not so grim, big new things can drop in price rapidly.
>>98906192Both sexes are tempted to infidelity. What are you even talking about.
>>98906204It's hypocrisy. Anon is not worth your time.
>>98906168>Also, I can believe that competent enough builds can become serious threats for them in a direct fight.Reminder that Kofuko/Dokurokuro has literally every technique in the cyoa and he's WEAKER than the Solar Trigram. It's just not happening. >But I don't believe in Pure Jokes at all, there are simply no realistic chances of that.Meh, it'd be harder but Martial Arts can do crazy bullshit on their own, not to mention weapon traits.>>98906187Yes, due to actual strategy and skill, not just some guy waltzing up to them and punching them. They're guys you have to actually plan to beat.
>>98906116Only a retarded cuck thinks his wife sleeping with other people is acceptable.
>>98906200See: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/98758066/#q98761519>I can't imagine the frightful headway we'd make if we applied this sort of energy to making oca 60 aura subjugated spirit would be significantly less powerful than any member of the trigram or yama/yudiConsider that the trigram are spirits empowered continually by very large numbers of people who worship them, so in terms even of aura available they're beyond the paleNow, if you were to spirit subjugate a member of the Trigram, there's an ideabut you'd have to beat them firstalternatively, make cults for your spirits to get even more power to themI will posit that yama/yudi and the trigram are sort of end-game bosses, and I don't figure a starting build, even a starting overpowered build, is in much position to challenge themYou work up to these things
>>98906214This. It's not fun when the woman does it.
>>98905790This shouldn't be a Paladin CYOA it should be an Arch Angel CYOA with the amount of power it gives you
>>98906200>i don't think there's a strict trigram level,Trigram level is "Can easily kick Kofuko's ass"Kofuko knows every technique in the cyoa, meaning every OP combo you can think of, he already has and can do better than you.The lore Doc has kofuko outright say any of the proper trigram could kick his ass easily> this actually isn't cultivation, Yes it it. The term for this style of cultivation is Wuxia or Murim depending on if it leans more chinese or korean.>everyone is on the same levelNo
>>98906211Every technique in the cyoa, yes. Even if I call bullshit on racial-specific ones. Every technique in the setting? Press X to doubt.
>>98906222>>98906230still the same level, still within reach of each other even if it's hard
>>98906192>A good girlfriend isn't supposed to be jealous about other women.In the same way a good boyfriend isnt supposed to be jealous and think every man within a 20 foot radius of his girlfriend is a potential threat shes going to cheat on him with. But that doesent change that a good boyfriend or girlfriend will also know that despite this it is kinder to their partner to not arouse or incite such feelings, because those feelings are natural. Its common decency, just like when someone offers to help "however they can" you arent actually meant to take them for all theyre worth, but understand that even if they are willing to help it is more decent of you to not exploit their kindness.
>>98906228Havent you played DND? This is just high level paladin stuff.
>>98906234Yeah it seems to be that the two obvious means someone might try to surprise the Trigrams are either A) Work something out with Yama/Yudi, or B) Take that one job that has you go into mysterious realms to discover brand new techniques. Who knows what fucked up shit you might find?
>>98906211>not just some guy waltzing up to them and punching them.We don't yet have confirmation if it was a Core user or not, so the possibility isn't 100% ruled out.
>>98906236>muh reverse rules againYou're getting sloppy.
>>98906243or just make your own or get people who've made their own in youdu teach you?
>>98906235>still the same levelDefine "Level", because you're clearly not using it the same way everyone else is.Killing a level 1000 boss is "within reach" of a level 1 protag, because they can grind to level 1000, but they are literally on different levels.
I like transmutation, I like the idea of pressing my hand to the ground and making it turn to lava beneath my enemies
>>98906252within reach without grinding
>>98906250You're not going to surprise them by doing things out in the open and learning things they know. I said 'surprise', not beat.
>>98906234Every technique in the cyoa is still overwhelmingly powerful (also bear in mind this is specifically referring to Kofuko, the others have their own unique arsenals).
>>98906187>Anon, the Trigram have lost to the G2 topping 1 affinity scrubs in the city between before. One of them is currently Dead.Yakshanek actually died in the War of Creation.
>>98906256I made a build for that once
>>98906242Have you played dnd? almost no parties ever make it to a high levelAlso, have you tried not playing dnd?
>>98906265they don't automatically know every new technique that gets made by every rando, that's ridiculous
>>98906262nta but then you're just explicitly wrong
>>98906273>almost no parties ever make it to a high levelunc is still stuck in the 90s
>>98906274If you're doing it out in the city their spies and contacts are going to know sooner or later.
>>98906279Not even, settings like Planescape were made specifically for higher level parties. Anon is stuck in the 80's.
>>98906277the cyoa has youdu quaking in fear of humans with zero aura, you're the explicitly wrong one
>>98906279Have you played in a game of dnd that started at a level below 5 and ended above 15, and have you played in any game of dnd with pc's above level 12?
>>98906273>almost no parties ever make it to a high levelTheres enough high level campaigns out there that this isnt true. Its rarer, but so are people who take every oath and end up with a million points to be OP with. Every DND video game also has you go to an insanely high level, Mask of the Betrayer has you usurp Myrkul and wage war against all of the celestial pantheons combined.>Also, have you tried not playing dnd?Could always play PathfinderAlso this is clearly a Paladin/Cleric cross cyoa anyways
>>98906287>I will posit that yama/yudi and the trigram are sort of end-game bosses, and I don't figure a starting build, even a starting overpowered build, is in much position to challenge them
>>98906262Anon, you're just wrong.There is no combo in this CYOA the will let you take out a trigram out the gate.Kofuko has every single possible build at the same time, and he can't do it.You need to Grind.
>>98906293irrelevant if you're not using your build to kill them
>>98906294>>98906295
>>98906295if you're not using your actual build to deal with them then that's completely irrelevant to the power level discussion being had here. Obviously you can go unleash the wheel turning effigy on them or something, that's not the point.
>>98906307it is, there aren't distinct levels, everyone is on the same level, some are just more powerful than others but there are not fundamental limits
>>98906315So you are literally just being pedantic about the word 'level'. Great. Love this website.
>>98906294>Kofuko has every single possible build at the same timeI seriously doubt he has every single possible Signature, every single possible interpretation for Medium Sublimation and every single possible variation for techs like Noble Commandment and Oblative Gesture.
>>98906315Ah, you don't know what a Level is. I understand now.
>>98906322it's not pedantry, it's a meaningful distinction when people are asking something possible is impossible
>>98906323Okay, point taken.He has every Standard build that doesn't get into custom power shit.Except Vessel Transfer. He explivitly has a special technique version of Vessel Transfer that lets him apply alterations to Souls directly instead of having them stuck with the Vessel like the default power.
>>98906383why are you even thinking of it in terms of builds, we know that he has at least all the techniques he offers but that's it, we don't know something similar about the other parts of the cyoa like alterations, and he's not in chargen anyway so learning sidegrades is a lot more fluid for him than a single special technique purchase

Wanted to get this complete before Halloween ended, but I got more ideas as I started it. So, in the meantime, here's an OC WIP. Happy Halloween everyone!
>>98906395>why are you even thinking of it in terms of buildsI could answer that.It's cause we know what the powers on offer do and anons all have their own idea for an OP as fuck build they could make combining certain techniques.It's a reminder to anons of the reality. Their "OP Build" is barely a fraction of the power held by they guy giving it to you.Then remember that guy you're barely a fraction of is a chump compared to the Real powerful people in the setting.
