"Add a thing you need the way you need air or water or food? Can get mightily cute with this one if you have a good idea."

"........I am not sure if this is terribly clever or useless, but. Bronze? Having bronze bones and all."

"Need to be touching it and the way you need air? Sure! Twelve points."

"I'm just a bit worried I don't count as 'touching' my bones..."

"You do."

"...Alright then, I guess my secret weakness to bone-removing curses is, uh, most people would fare poorly without their bones anyway and it's twelve whole points... Okay." She does a headshake.

"Mm-hm. One where the veil does not protect you? You would need to cover up and talk fast when out and about among humans who do not know things, but a luxal can pass with a good story."

"I just really like my gaudy jewelry. It's cosplay. Et cetera. ...Mm, I'm leaning no, though."

"Pick your own kryptonite? More points if it is more likely to meet you."

She practically hisses. "No!"

"Wow, okay! One where you need to exercise every day to get your magic working full strength?"

"I-" Deep breath. "-Sorry. How much exercise are we talking? But probably no. I'd forget. Even knowing it's important."

"Hour a day maintenance, play catchup with extra if you fall behind."

"...I don't think daily workouts are part of my best life. Unless fucking around with earthbending counts?"

"Has to be physically strenuous, but can be also magical if you want to make yourself a platformer to run around on."

"That does sound fun... But I'm not exactly hurting for points right now, am I? Another for the 'maybe' pile. Which is getting kinda big."

"This one puts you in magical cahoots with a lineage - not bad by itself, but the lineages you can get in with this way all have nasty rivalries you'd pick up, makes you magical-lineage-racist about it and your lineage's enemies at you too. Can get ugly, can simmer lowkey for a long while."

"I don't want to borrow enemies? Is this like... Fate stuff? Spooky."

"Spooky fate stuff yeah. Fixation on some frame of mind? Classics are violence sex curiosity paranoia but I did learn about making a custom one if you have an idea shaped right."

"Uh... Probably not. My brain is me!"

"Okay. There is one where you choose all the choices and then leave the shop and forget this ever happened, and then, something yikes happens to you to trigger you awakening, sooner or later, but you get chosen things not random things like a normal natural awakening?"

"Nope, no, I still don't want a trigger event. That shit is- People underestimate the trauma."

"Enough Psionics makes you immune to nonmagic trauma."

"Sure, maybe I'll be alright long term, magic or not. And maybe it's a one-time thing, but... It does not spark joy. It sparks dread. Also the memoryfuckery is bad."

"Remember me again once awake, but valid. One that makes you imposter-syndromed?"
