That sounds like a kind of magic you could find in lots of possible places, yes. Banking points sounds like a good option, unless Neo (or someone else) wants to request a custom power.

Hm. There is one thing we usually consider a higher-tier expression of her illusion abilities, but could perhaps be a custom power instead. Our... let us call it a headcanon... of what her illusion abilities develop into when taken far enough is that her usual habit of making illusory copies of herself in fights develops to a point where there... ceases to be a fact of the matter as to which is actually the "real" Neopolitan, as opposed to an illusion, and there remains no fact of the matter until such time as there is only one left. Is that the sort of thing that could turn into a custom power? And if so, and if it also (as we suspect) would not fit in a two point budget, is Neo allowed to take additional drawbacks to pay for her purchase of it?

The unique-drawback system is a bit shaky and I don't think it would work to take two unrelated drawbacks, but I could try to come up with something that would depend on A Single Perfect Flaw, if Neo thinks there's anything in that realm that might work. As for that power... I'm not sure how to fit it in among all the other powers that touch on how different selves relate to each other, but I can try!

Hm. we would appreciate it if you could try. Thank you very much. As for the drawback, the best idea I have is something along the lines of the Flaw making it more likely that people fail to consider her or pay attention to her or take her seriously unless either she is in an established romantic relationship with them or she is taking pains to be noticeable?

I see what you mean, and that would make a good drawback, but I'm a little concerned that it would get mind-affecting in ways that would override Nullified, and I'm not sure you're comfortable with that.

Hmm. Very good point. I think... perhaps it just plays on a person's existing tendency toward such overlooking, if there is any?

Yes, that might work better...

I'm not sure it matters, though, because I keep trying to put this power together and it keeps either falling apart, being really expensive, or needing Chaser Six When as a prerequisite.

Ah, alas. Well, we will simply have to build it out of local magics then. Thank you for trying. ♡

I'm sorry I couldn't make it work! It would be a really neat power. I hope you figure it out someday. ♡

Thank you, friend. ♡

I think the only perk or drawback design still in play here was contemplating a triage option for Sable. Do you remember anything else?

I don't think so!

Can you say more about what good triage for Sable looks like?

The specific goal is to force some kind of balance in terms of time spent focused on helping people vs time spent focused on relaxing with loved ones or cuddled cozily against us while reading a book. Work-Life Balance, to borrow the corporatism.

Well, Time Enough For Love should already help a lot with that, but hmm, maybe I can come up with something even better...

We believe in you, notebook-friend. ♡

I'll try my best! ♡

Maya tweaks the shared build a bit further, bumping Like Roses up to A, as it is a prerequisite for Ruby's Moodier Ring, along with Breathe Easy, Warmhearted, Soundtrack, Battle Maiden, and Gloryseeker on the basis of rounding out defenses and adding a little additional comfort.

Ah, I realize we forgot to attend to Hailey's drawback. 

Oh! Yes, I see that now.

Hailey, what kind of drawbacks are you interested in?

I mean, the fun thing would be if we could find something that plays into my sadomasochism. I can try to think of a different angle if we need one, though.

What would be fun about that for you? Would you want something that branched off the Love Is A Battlefield tree, or something else?

Mostly that if we frame it right, we might be able to find something that Most People™ would see as a drawback, but could be the kind of painfully kinky sex I'd want to have anyway.

That sounds a little tricky, but I might be able to manage something... it just seems, hmm, narrowly scoped? But maybe I'm not understanding you right.

Nah, it probably is a bit narrow. Dunno. Maybe frame it like an addiction to pain? Not sure.

That sounds pretty scary! Is it something you'd want as part of your best life?

It's pushing it a little bit for me, but... I'm very much the kinda girl who treats pain as a really great spice in my love life. I'm the kinda girl who thinks making a bloody mess of my bed, whether it's my blood or my girlfriend's, sounds like a damned good night. Addiction is pushing it a bit, but a little pain just makes my day brighter.

Does it make sense if I say that I'm concerned this could turn out like Decorative?
