"Sure. Four points, performing arts entrance people, stick curses in with whatever you're doing if you want?"

"Oooh, this one sounds useful, particularly since it synergizes with the skill rune. I'll take it, but run through the other ones anyway in case there's one worth ditching something for."

"Mime powers, mostly redundant with psionics, two points. No need to sleep, very popular but not really for Neutrals, two points. See auras, one point."

"Can I learn these later, like tiered magic?"

"Yes."

"Okay, yeah, aura sight sounds kinda cool but I can pick it up later, not worth dumping anything for. Rest sound pretty lame."

"Conjure up slime creatures like bonus familiars or souls to staple to things? Four points. Mood weather, four. We have already covered whether you wanted to be a hybrid. Turn into invulnerable crystal, six."

"I'm assuming I can't move while I'm the invulnerable crystal, right?"

"No, you can! Can also partially crystallize, to slow down mana drain - it's expensive to keep up, cheaper if you just do an armor layer rather than going all through yourself, or whole body instead of just a hand - and shoot crystal bullets."

"How long can I keep it up for?"

"A couplefew minutes if it is all the way through. Most fights do not last that long, but most times when you are concerned a fight may start last much longer."

"Points?"

"Six."

"Yeah, this one sounds cool but not worth dropping one of my higher level magics. I'll pick it up later."

"Copy physical maneuvers you see done perfectly, like martial arts or parkour? Three points. Blood control and substituting blood and ritual sacrifice for mana and material costs? Six. Gunwitch we have already mentioned, that is four."

"First one sounds kinda cool but if it's only specific maneuvers that could get kinda limiting, and I've got the Skill rune anyway, so skip."

"Fifteen point aerokinesis and airborne-tremorsense and kinetic redirection one... and that's all she wrote."

"Well uuuh. I guess I'm done. Feels a little scary knowing I'm about to have my memory wiped, but worth the points, I'll get it back. Hey, like, when that happens, will I remember everything as if it just happened, or as hazily as I would normally? You haven't told me your name, and I want to remember it so I can thank you afterward, but if it takes years for me to awaken I'll probably forget it."

"I am Nia, but you will not have special memory fidelity of this or anything else."

"Shit, I hope I don't forget about one of my complications and die like an idiot. Is there some way I can write things down that my future post-Awakening self will be able to see?"

"Schedule yourself an email for fifty years out, forget you did this and your eyes bounce off it when you look until you awaken and then it is there in your sent messages."

"Got it. Will I instinctively know all the magics I have, or should I write those down too?"

"It might be pretty hard to notice them till you can do any of them by borrowing somebody's wand long enough to summon your mothergifts."

"K." She opens her email and gets ready to type. "Repeat back all my choices and I'll get them down."

"Did you ever choose which warlock patron you want giving you quests, for your second growth method?"
