So which magical energy type to choose?

Death sounds awesome, an unstoppable tide of undead ants would be cool but my own family would need to be killed first! Plus there may be a chance I’ll end up zombified like the death rabbit! No thanks!

Time? I mean, time would be amazing but how the heck would it work? Stopping time? Speeding up time? Travelling through time?!?! Maybe too complicated.

Entropy? Perhaps a bit too grim and macabre.

I want something I can use in a fight but also something that has some utility to it, something I can make use of outside of combat in a significant way.

I will always choose the all-around option!

No weak points is my motto!

Perhaps it is wasteful to think this way but I just don’t like the idea of something that has only one purpose. I want options dammit!

Illusion? Too artsy. I was always terrible at mental imagery and drawing.

Space? Could be amazing but I’m not certain it’ll be fighty enough.

Healing is tempting but won’t help me out much when I’m on my own.

Chaos? Sounds a little.... Unpredictable?

Mental would almost certain allow telepathy of some kind... I’m not quite as starved for conversation now that I have the pheromone language though... There is always a chance I’ll be able to gain this ability another way without spending this precious selection on it. I’ll pass on this for now.

Maybe.... Maybe this one?
