"You processed the existence of things like Beat Saber yet?  Just, as a thought for how to introduce - tribulation - through guidance.  Uh.  Anyway."

"I think...

"Fuck I don't actually know."

"If I pick Hybrid, do I get to pick what is hybridized?"

Yes, you get to pick.

If you cannot come to a decision after due consideration, the System will select [Easy Traversal].

Permalink

Well.  There sure is a draw to being able to do that somewhere in here.

Permalink

But Traversal...  Seems like the sort of thing that powers change, quite a lot.  So, that's kind of not a good idea in her books.

Permalink

Likewise, there's a draw to train combat skills in a relatively safer environment, but, again, powers.

Permalink

Actually.  "...Question: Are there such things as power nullifiers?  Not just...  Things with particular resistances, but things that actively stop even your using your powers on yourself."

Permalink

It informs the training they will need.

Permalink

Methods and phenomena that interfere with abilities exist, yes. Innate or internal focused abilities are generally less vulnerable than external focused abilities. There are many nuances. Does sense-numbing poison count? Distraction? 'Noise' or 'Aura' that overwhelms your efforts? An environmental hazards activated by use of magic? For example. Absent surrounding context and in a fair competition, these methods tend to be specialized, limited, or resource intensive I.E. a suppression focused user will have difficulty fully locking down someone with the same number of advancement points.

"Things that make the use of abilities metaphysically impossible, rather than practically pointless - though it seems that there aren't such, based on your choice of examples, even if there are practical nullification-equivalent threats.  But we will take this warning in the spirit it was given, and thank you for it."

She almost chooses Very Easy Combat straight off.

Permalink

But they can develop those basic skills in many other circumstances.  And they do not wish to be forced to resort to fisticuffs against unknown monsters of unknown threat ratings.

Permalink

No.  What they need to have time and space and presumably some amount of arbitrary material supply to practice most is, by far, "[Easy Crafting], if you please."

Permalink

Save her, one (1) semester of middle school shop class that she mostly didn't do much in and also lots of knifemaking competition show!

Preparing module...

Large-scale manufacturing is present within System-integrated worlds, but faces challenges after the partial loss of globalized supply chains. Many people find satisfaction and Experience in crafting work: Creating objects, processing materials, repairing things, or similar activities. Objects created with personal attention (by hand or in small batches, with non-computerized tools) synergize well with common types of powers, allowing the creation of items with innate magical properties that industrial processes cannot create.

You will be provided with cotton thread and a traditional loom, along with instruction and guidance. The task is to set up the loom and produce a strip of cloth. You will have to understand new tools, comprehend instructions, and execute a dexterity-based task. Further [Crafting] challenges may introduce new types of handcrafts or expand to more challenging clothwork exercises.

The goal is to be challenged and learn. Do not be afraid of failure.

Proceed through the door when you are ready.

Oh, hell.  Well, she knows...  Any...  Things about cloth...  Theoretically...

 

Onwards she goes!

 

"...Industrial processes can't create magic items, you say?  I say 'challenge accepted'.  But first: Weaving."  ...Should this be gender euphoria?  She can't decide.

Permalink

She doesn't think it ought to be particularly genderous, but it is a useful skill to have.

What's the situation like?

Permalink

There's a workbench with a big wooden loom! It looks surprisingly modern. Parts of it are plastic. And there's a bunch of white and grey thread.

There's also an elf lady in a Very Modest long green dress, long black hair, slightly distant serene-pretty face. Her ears must be six inches long or more. "Good day! Welcome to the weaving tutorial."

Permalink

"Hello.  For the moment you may call me Ophelia; it is a pleasure to meet you.  Might I ask your name?"

Permalink

Tiny little bow. "You may call me Valasafrava. Likewise; Though you should know that I am not quite really here. You are speaking to a part of my soul, extended like a dream, which has much of my knowledge but only a fragment of my whole attention. I have a highly developed projection blessing, and the System makes much use of it during the Tutorial."

Permalink

She will meet like with like, then, in terms of bows.  "That is quite interesting to know of but yet not why I am here."

Permalink

Scribble scribble.

Tutorial people real people but sharded - +System volitionality?

Valasafrava

"I have the most basic possible understanding of how this contraption might work, but I've certainly never done anything like this before, if you would be so kind as to explain?"
