"Curses! Wow! Okay, uh... hm. Somebody on our side of the fence should get Dominion but maybe my best use is in incredibly synergistic potions. Even if I turn out to be able to resurrect people at rank four maybe at rank five I can also... do it... harder... somehow, or something, I'll figure it out."

"The curses immortality thing can also remove immortality, and he's trying to go real hard on 'kill maw-mouths.' If you don't take Dominion I'm sure someone else will, I really haven't empowered very many wizards yet."

"Are you gonna run out of the - whatever gods have instead of mana - to do that, any time soon?"

"I am not. ...How gods work is complicated, but the fact that your world is full of people who've never heard of any of us and I'm getting in on the ground floor is a huge advantage."

"Should we be starting a church?"

"It wouldn't hurt! Although, like, ideally you should talk to my existing priesthood, first, 'there is a goddess named Lucasta and she is cool' will get people into my afterlife if there are no competing claims and that's really the most important thing but I do have existing catechism and so on." 

"Noted! Okay. Probably put my rank five potential in potions but I don't know if I want to buy up that high yet."

"Can do. Although if you suddenly change your mind about that before we're done here, I can change it."

"Understood. Uh... I get one elementalism? Is there anything nonobvious to know about them?"

"For each elementalism, in addition to the one regular affinity that unlocks it, there's also a set of two other affinities--so if you gained a nature affinity, that would unlock Naturalism, but it would also unlock Windkeeping, which has a primary affinity of Wind and a secondary affinity of nature plus soul."

"Huh. I don't suppose that's the sort of thing you can usually potion on?"

"It is in fact the sort of thing you can potion on but the potion is really expensive."

"In ingredients or in skill."

"Ingredients. Well, ingredient singular."

"Damn. ...are those manufactured or do they naturally occur."

"Manufactured but the recipe is a closely-guarded secret."

"By whom."

"A smallish group of witches who live in the geographic equivalent of the Andes on an alternate Earth just sliiiiiightly beyond Alfheim."

"Diviners haven't been able to finagle it, I take it. ...witch diviners."

"Not for over a thousand years, no."

"Uh-huh. Welp. Hexes is transmutation, right? That sounds relevant to my, like, field."

"Hexes is transmutation! And also in-class for warlocks."

"Hurrah. Some of that... well, some of everything in-class for warlocks. Maybe some runes..." Can he directly see the point values if he tries or does everything have to be mediated through a goddess with a customer service habit.

She can provide bubbles like the alchemy one!
