This one took a lot of rewriting, but I think I convinced the characters to behave in the end. You don't want to see the cutting-room floor.

He should leave one of his beacons, so they can communicate.

Guess now that Rain’s soul is fixed, he can finally spend his final skill point when back at Ascension and a comprehensive evaluation. My money is he will choose elemental refinement since being able to refill lairs without using Ameliah as an intermediary will vastly increase Ascension’s Awakened numbers and just be useful for working with elemental spells (his auras) in the future. Now they only need a few lairs and teleporter between them (Ameliah can do in a pinch but best to get Lairs and raise one themselves). Plus it is a kata so getting it and spending time on mastering it early as opposed to another skill he can just dump mana into later is better use for time. Plus Unity aura has diminished the immediate need for some other skill contenders like mana sight helping with spell patterns.

Elemental refinement is a kata, and katas can be learned without wasting a skill point. If Ameliah or another Ascension member picks it up, all Rain has to do is watch and copy. No matter how difficult it is, his clarity gives him both perfect memory and a bunch of spare time in his soul. Hell, he can even just temporarily grab the skill with Unity to help. The only reason for Rain to grab that would be in case it's a prereq for other skills, which it might very well be. We aren't sure if the system would recognize learning on your own perfectly enough to register an awakened as having the skill without actually spending the skill point. But he currently only has 1 more skill point. So even if it is a prereq for other skills, he wouldn't be able to get any skills it leads into for who knows how long. There are much better contenders for that last skill point.

It would take a long time to teach anyone the code and would reveal sensitive information about their capabilities.

Random Information

So what's going to happen in the next chapter, tomorrow? GrannyBrain vs Dozer? Rain and Ameliah vs Burrik? A time skip, with Rain returning to Ascension?
