First thing I want to say . . . Why don't you have the "Dev Tag" attached to your name ?
I'm sure someone must have told you, "how" to get one . . . didn't they ?
(I don't know how, or what the "Link" is, sorry)
Second thing, a small apology, those first 3 posts, were pretty-much, when I was just starting the game, and reading everything, but still had many questions, I couldn't find answers for, (PS-first found this over on TFG, but there was even 'less' information there, and it's easier, and
usually faster, to get answers here).
For a long time, I just kinda 'floundered' around, and started 'clicking' stuff.
If I had known then, What I know now, you'd probably only get the last 2 postings.
One thing that wasn't mentioned anywhere,
Is that Mana & Influence, work hand-in-hand, to make the "Magic" work .
Once, I realized,
you needed to expend Mana, to gain influence, to make the Magic work as you wanted, it made sense .
I thought 'influence', was something, not connected/linked, to the magic, like a 'hidden stat', of sorts, that's why, I mentioned, an
"Influence-Meter" was needed .
I also, thought, you could only, "pump-mana", into your 'target', once per day, to "influence" them,
, not-true .
Unfortunately, I learned all this, after spending, Hours-upon-Hours, and feel my PC, is "under-powered" to face, what is coming !
Unknowingly, several of my "targets", are behind in their progression-paths, because of 'things', I didn't know at the time, and only found out much later.
I'll keep going on this 'run-through', for a bit, and see how things go.
But, I plan to start, a new play-through, now I'm actually understanding "how" things work, . . . mostly
.
PS - "Brenda's" progression is rather 'wonky', I don't think it's working as intended, and as there is no 'clues' anywhere, not even in the 'hint' area under the Question Mark section, (as she was probably a recent addition to the game, as much a I had read).
So far, my PC has 'pumped' over 60+ mana, into her mind, and nothing has changed .
So she just may be 'broken' .
