"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].

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

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.

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

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."

It informs the training they will need.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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

What's the situation like?

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."

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

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."

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."

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?"

Smile. She gestures for the workbench and picks up a few short pieces of thread for demonstration.

"The key insight is that we want to run threads over and under each other, again and again, creating an interlocking pattern." She demonstrates, laying several pieces of large yarn over and under each other with rapid motions. "All weaving is born from this, no matter the material or method. Knots are the same way- When you tie your shoelaces, you are weaving, by placing the thread in tension with itself. Whether it is palm leaves or cotton or mana or hair or wire, the soul of weaving is an endless series of tiny knots. The trick comes in doing it quickly, cleanly. And for this type of loom we have here today, the way you do that is- Take a series of threads and pull them tight. These are the warp, one direction of threads. Every other warp thread goes through a small hole in this frame, and the others go through the larger holes. These ones will move when we move the frame, and these ones won't. Two sets of strings, and we can switch which ones are on top quickly. The other half of the thread is the weft, and all you have to do is pull it through here- And then lower the frame. The end gets wrapped around here, and you can then pull back through-"

Valasafrava will go on for a little while, explaining how to set everything up with proper tension and so on.

"But of course the goal is for you to try it yourself, and see how quickly you can learn. Muscle memory. Later on perhaps to do it without my help, or to use the principles in other types of loom or weavecraft. In striving for mastery in every task, we give thanks for the blessings of the System and become worthy of yet more."

"...I see.  ...ohhh this is going to have a fiddly bit.  Fucking hell.  Alright.  Fine then.  Let's do this thing.  I'm talking to myself and am not, like, pissed off at you or anything, Valasafrava, just, irked at my own neurology.  Or possibly an inanimate object if I start swearing at the loom.

"...Remembering the setup steps is going to be the most annoying part.  Do you have, like, an explanatory pamphlet?  ...Or I could just write it down --"

"...High chance I mess something up or do not understand the actual reason behind the actions, though.  Except for the actual weaving bits.  I think I understand that part, gods help me.  ...Are there actually gods, I don't know.  Wait you just swore by the System.  Okay, sure, that might as well happen.  I don't know what it would do with the worship but I've seen this trope before, it is fine -"

She continues rambling on as she actually tries to set up the thing, but it's about weaving now.

Valasafrava will patiently explain why each little fiddly bit of the process is the way that it is. You use scrap yarn to tie off little bundles here so they don't get hopelessly tangled. This tiny hook tool dealie can grab one thread and pull it through the 'eye' of the frame, like so. You want to tamp your weft down every few passes, but not so hard it squishes. A lot of this is just down to practice. Does she want to go for a color pattern when setting up the warp? Consider what would look nice, then execute on that idea?

"...Right now I just want to prove I can do it.  Doing something aesthetically pleasing can come later.  That said, it's not as if I'm going to turn down free aesthetic points."

"Not that there are actually points involved in this, but, like, you -- may not actually know what I mean, but I hope you get the idea, I guess?"

"Oh, uh, am I actually going to get to keep this if I want it when I'm done?  It didn't say."
