That said, be careful with your choices - if the learns Lust from "Mescary" he becomes unable to learn "Desire of the Heart" in the church & vice-versaa.
Does the same apply for getting
any Mescary skill before unlocking the church Altar, or is it specifically those two?
I hate saying this, but this looks like it will have the same fate that urban demons or something like that.
A bold claim given (one of the) Urban Demons
has an ending at this point, and is technically just missing what could be considered bonus stuff (threesomes and Pool scenes). Still being infested with bugs and deadend dialogue routes aside.
btw did he ever fix the issue at the start of the game with getting the 1st spell??
Was there an issue? Followed the guide/walkthrough and it's obtainable within the first two days, was that not supposed to be the case?
Warning: it seems like the entire "good" (morality, not quality) route is inacessible as of this public 0.09 version. So if that's your MC's disposition of choice, it's better to wait for this to be fixed.
(if anyone knows a way around this, please share)
Stating what the blocking issue seems to be might help confirm or debunk that.
For my contribution, ground a few levels out before tapping the seal, picked up the Absorb spell from Mescary's book, and while the church Altar's door "opens," attempting to enter the area doesn't register as an action, and attempting to leave the library after trying instead cycles the "need to find papyrus before leaving" bit from earlier. Got stuck once, and managed to get unstuck from the area in a later attempt, but haven't tried to get into the church Altar a third time just yet (trying another playthrough that avoids Mescary's spells to check).
