These menus are always intimidating due to their sheer size, but I’m prepared to go the distance on this one, I can’t afford to make a mistake and pick the wrong options. There’ll be no reset after this one.

I suppose it’s technically possible to do one, but that would be a criminal waste of evolutionary energy. Basically a punch straight into my own face.

So I have to be careful, no yahoo off the cuff stuff. I’m going to peruse these menus with extreme focus.

Focus….

Focus….

Zzzzzzzzzzz….

Hah!

Wazzat?! Curse these damn lists! Despite having so many brains and such a high Cunning score, how is it possible my attention span and capacity to look at fine details remain so terrible?

But I can’t give up, I won’t!

With renewed determination, I begin to scroll once more. Most of these, I’m not interested in, obviously. Long ago, I decided against using mutations for specific resistances. I want my improvements to be as broadly applicable as possible. Naturally, that means I have to settle for a bit of oomph in many areas rather than a huge shazam in one. It’s the wiser tradeoff.

mutations add a layer to the outside of the carapace, like my diamond mutation which coated my exo-skeleton in a fine layer of the precious gem. That worked great, since the outer coating was harder than my carapace and helped protect it

for the ultimate defensive combo I suppose, but I’ve already invested heavily in solving that issue with my own mana skills.

What I need, are mutations that will help synergise with what

saw it, and I’ve yearned to better harness that absurd power. The humble gravity bolt, welding my opponents

to be a gravity ant! Now, finally, after all this

it’s only natural that there should be some specific mutations for it attached. I eagerly scroll

I find only three that are relevant to

Regeneration: Harnesses gravitational energy to repair damage to

fine. There’s synergy there, sure. I want to use gravity mana in battle, which will generate gravitational energy, which will repair the damage I sustain

for. I can use my inner-plating for something like this, or rely on my regeneration gland,

Compressed Diamond to provide a boost to any

offence! I can get behind it. The more I reinforce this

I think about it, this mutation actually melds quite well with the second I considered. Perhaps I should take both mutations and then fuse them in order to get the best of both worlds? My carapace makes my gravity magic more powerful,

I love it!
