"I mean, are there lots of other goodies I might want to spend all my points on? It's not like I'm not already a wizard..."

"Granted that there are, but it actually locks you out of a lot of those as well. Anything that costs more than four points after discounts."

"Is it in fact possible to spend all my points this way throughout my witching, uh, career?"

"Yes."

"Then I will keep it in mind, if I like a lot of the things I could buy like that, I guess."

"Fair enough. It'll get you twelve points."

Nod nod.

"There's one where you gain a serious physical weakness to one of fire, water, or iron, and one where you gain a varyingly serious magical weakness to a free-form choice of substance."

"...free-form! Is that, uh, Principle of Balance-y or can I hack it as much as I might please?"

"You get more points the more common it is, but you don't lose points for it being more or less pleasant to be around. Bella picked 'the inside of a maw-mouth.' Which counted as common! I don't know why that is but I'm concerned." 

"Oh wow! I already don't want to be inside a maw-mouth and I'm not sure I can get any more not wanting to be inside a maw-mouth!"

"That was approximately Bella's logic!"

"She's really smart! Can I just copy her?"

"For the vulnerability complication specifically, absolutely; for her entire vulnerability loadout, I don't think you want to; she had no objection to the nipple thing."

"Huh, where'd she - that's none of my business!"

"Good on you for catching that! I was pretty sure she'd be okay with my sharing the maw-mouth hack; I would not have answered that question! I will also not tell her you started to ask it."

"Thank youuuuuu she's seen me put my foot in my mouth more than enough times already."

"Goddess-client confidentiality."

Caio laughs. "Okay, so copying her clever maw-mouth-interior thing. What's next?"

"That'll get you twenty-three points, because that is a very high-leverage complication and Bella leveraged it beautifully. There's the one where the Veil doesn't cover you--the Veil is a world-spanning magical effect on Earth that prevents mundanes from noticing magic or non-human features on witches who have those; that'd get you four points. You could choose to lose any of your limbs for two points apiece. You could make your magic require exercise to function properly, for two points."

"...that's Witch Earth, not our Earth, right?"

"Yes, sorry. The Veil is completely absent on your Earth."

"I live there, so this seems free, unless I am about to have a girlfriend who lives here. - but she's Bella's doppelganger. So I bet she did not want the Veil preventing people from noticing things and will have the lifestyle to match."

"No comment for privacy reasons but maybe bring that up with her, yeah."

"Like I should drop out of the - this - and ask her?"
