Hmm, music? I can carry an ipod around everywhere and hum if it runs out of batteries.

Music is an excellent choice, for "as often as water." Since you're a wulong, you could even pick something not too obtrusive to carry around with you all the time--I met a wulong once who chose "constriction" as often as air, and wore several tight garments at all times--if someone removed them from her, she had a workshop full of bonded statues with emergency cinches where she would respawn.

I think that'd make me pretty nervous to fall back on while I lack statues and have no immediate avenue to acquire them. Music as often as water sounds good to me and dovetails with the recharge thing. How many points is that? - does the duck thing make it hard to fly?

Eight points. It makes it a harder to steer against a headwind, but easier to lift off under your own power; after all, you only need to lift a duck's weight. 

But I could, like, carry something heavy some of the time? If it doesn't make me weaker?

It doesn't make you weaker! There are people who make weighted clothes for people with this complication, although you'll still find it harder to sink than you should. 

Is there culturally important witch scuba diving that I should know about?

There is not, but it makes it easier to slip and fall in the shower, so you should be aware of that.

I already have a shower chair but I do appreciate that.

Is there some weird reason I might object to not being able to cast curses on people? she asks, contemplating the Restriction one.

There's a curse of immortality?

What is cursey about it?

Well, it doesn't actually stop you from aging, or heal you if you get hurt, or anything like that. But those things are much cheaper to fix than being dead so some people prefer to have the "curse" on anyway. Also, one of the curses is "spellbind," which lets you apply magics sourced from other kinds of magic as though you were "cursing" someone with them, even if the magic is fully benign--for example, you could drink a healing potion, and instead of it healing you, you bind the healing effect to a "curse" to cast on someone else later. 

...hm. How much will two points actually buy me?

Two first ranks of something that isn't class-affiliated, or one second rank of something you don't have an affinity for, or two second ranks of something you do have an affinity for, or a third or fourth rank of something you have an affinity for, or half a fourth rank of something you don't, or an inexpensive piece of wild magic.

What've I got an affinity for, or do I buy affinities too?

As a wulong, your affinities are Beast and Mind.

Huh. ...gonna tentatively figure specialization is good and I already have my lifeweaving tiara for any not being dead I wanna hand out. She will collect her music requirement, Unveiled, the curse restriction, the duck thing, the witch mark... hesitates at kryptonite. If I'm, say, vulnerable to... antimatter... does this realistically speaking make me any more vulnerable to antimatter than I normally would be?

Well, someone could in theory magically stabilize some antimatter, so you don't want to take the variant where you're vulnerable to hypnotic commands during, probably, and I imagine you don't want to take the version where death while exposed cuts you off from passive methods of resurrection, but it is indeed the case that most people are pretty vulnerable to antimatter!

Rather! How many points do I get for my magic working half as well if I am in a room with antimatter?

Eight.

Sweet. She will grab that too. Do you have a professional recommendation on the big one? She gestures at the power cap thing.

It depends, some, on what kind of life you expect to lead. But...I took it. It'll take some time to hit fifty and then a hundred points, but--once you do, you've got forever at a higher power limit, if you can make it work. Not everyone is patient enough to be able to stand it. Not everyone is ambitious enough to want it. 

But it's honestly less annoying for warlocks, in my experience. Academics and Sorceresses slow way down in power gain and Warlocks do not.

Yeah, makes sense. And I have the rank five from my crown to play around with and exchange for goods and services while I'm building up...

She'll take it.

The crown definitely helps!

The pool of points she has to invest in things shrinks to about a third of its former size.

Alas. She'll just have to run lots of errands.

Next?
