"Y'know what, let's go with everything except the last two. Also, it's just now dawning on me how it's kind of funny for bananas to be my weakness, considering I'm a lesbian. I also considered avocados, which would also be applicable, given that the Nahuatl word for avocado was used as slang for testicles."

"Fortunate to be a lesbian, considering the witch gender ratio. Twenty-three points for touch range banana vulnerability with everything except lingering hypnosis and de-immortalization. You can only useful amounts of take sixty points of these, thirty for up front power and thirty for long term room to grow, so you might want to revisit some if you like the looks of more going forward too. Next up one where you have to exercise to keep your magic in good working order?"

Permalink

"How much? Does the exercise also give its regular mundane benefits? How easy are those benefits to shortcut with magic?"

Permalink

"Bout an hour a day, with catchup to play if you fall behind. A witch without this complication can magic herself into whatever shape she likes but exercise can also do all the things it usually does."

Permalink

"Magic herself into whatever shape she likes as in actually being physically stronger, faster, etc, not just cosmetically?"

Permalink

"Yes, though not magic herself into being good at volleyball, that takes practice, usually this complication is exciting for witches who want to do lots of sports anyhow."

Permalink

"I think I'll pass, unless it's like 10 points or something."

Permalink

"It is not. One where your awakening gets a bit broadcast to anyone who might care to know facts like your secret weakness? That one is ten but I cannot say I recommend it and the hunter both together."

Permalink

"Yeah, that one's probably a bad idea. Pass. Hey, how many points am I up to so far?"

Permalink

"If you spend a full thirty on your long term potential, fifty-four to spend today. Blood feud? Not blood exactly but it hooks you up to a magical clan and the only people who still do magical clans in this day and age are the ones who are in serious ancient beef with another magical clan and want more witches onside, it will make you magical-clan-racist against whoever is in the opposed one and vice versa."

Permalink

"Mind control scary, and apparently I'm only 6 points from being maxed out anyway, so hard pass."

Permalink

"Fated to be killed in some kind of confrontation with someone someday? Pop right up again if you have the arrangements, no problem unless you get very unlucky with how mad your fated defeater is, but definitely die in the first place."

Permalink

"Points?"

Permalink

"Eight."

Permalink

"Pass for now, but I might come back to this one if I can't find anything else good to get my remaining 6 points."

Permalink

"One where - oh, you already have this one. You can un-have it, cost of two points, it is making you think about sex a lot, but perhaps you are used to it."

Permalink

"I'm a little uneasy knowing an aspect of my personality is the product of magic, but like, it hasn't made me get arrested for jerking off in public or anything, so I'm gonna keep it."

Permalink

"It is not necessarily a product of magic, it is just, this is a complication you could have available for the taking but it would not have counted. Like if you were already blind or missing an arm you could have solved that by un-taking the blind or missing an arm complications. One where you forget you ever walked into my shop and go about your business till something dramatic enough to awaken you on its own happens, but you still get the benefit of all your choices made consciously here and your memories back then?"

Permalink

"How many points, how long will it take, and can the hunter find me first?"

Permalink

"Eight points, can't tell for sure but more like two years than like twenty I think looking from here, and no because you will not have that complication making you his target till after you awaken."

Permalink

"Pass for now. Goes on the maybe pile with the fated death."

Permalink

"Fated betrayal from a trusted loved one? Four points. Waits around till you have one of those even if you don't now."

Permalink

"Nope. I've seen movies, I know that friendship is the greatest treasure of all."

Permalink

"Last one. Compulsion, like an addiction but more triggered, points depend on how common is your trigger."

Permalink

"Damnit, we're out? What does the point spread look like on that one? I may have to revisit the maybe pile."
