Then,I note my nearly-200 and, in unrelated news, decide to upgrade my weapon.
well, not upgrade my weapon exactly.
Upgrade a weapon, which I will then use, would be more accurate.
I purvey the inventory, and conclude the Crystalline Claw will be the best choice.
Now, the Crystalline claw is already tier 2, so I won't really be Improving it much.
Now, I'm not sure quite how improving such an intricate, advanced crystal lattice would be done. I don't exactly comprehend most of its function.
I suspect, however, that anyone smart enough to Create this device would anticipate someone might want to alter it. they would likely also not want to be called for help every time. so... they would probably include many more methods of adaptability then just the GP system.
By this logic, I retrieve from the inventory 3 farm-grown Soulblossoms, 1 farm-grown Goneblossom, 1 Lumipod, 1 silkweed, and 2 green sap.
since there are more goneblossoms then soulblossoms at the moment, I press the blossom stem to the Claw, testing it for locations where the Latices responds differently to the foreign material. once I locate one, or have checked everywhere, I move on to the next step.
If I Locate one, I find and insert each of my Farm-grown soulblossoms into another similar location, followed by lumipod, and use the Silkweed each flower on more strongly, with the aid of the green sap, so it won't just fall off.
If there is none to be found, I sigh, and move to my second plan. using Trigger:Scorpion (-25 SP), I more or less remove some parts of the crystal from existence, doing my best to do it along the shape of the Latice and without damaging it. if I fail, there's always another infinity more of them to work on. Assuming I succeed, I turn of the Trigger and thread the stem of each soulblossom and goneblossom into its own Latice Rupture, juice the Lumipod and pour it into another rupture (sealing the ends with green sap so it doesn't leak out.), and threading the silkweed into the last gap.
If, however, I cannot create the Ruptures without removing all function from the claw, I Turn to my last, terrible, dumb-sounding idea that I am only trying as a last resort.
In the inventory, Gold is described as "(T1) Gold Ingots (x0) Metal that isn't exactly good for armor or melee weaponry, but works wonders with the arcane... or just magic in general, really. Is also shiny."
Now, magic, of course, isn't real, but if what they mean is similar to what my world means by magic, then magic refers to a mysterious phenomenon.
The Crystalline Claw is indeed mysterious, and I do not understand it. The same goes for Soulblossoms,Goneblossoms, Luminipods, and to a lesser extent, silkweed and green sap.
Also Gallow feathers, yes those are relevant because of a reason.
So, if I melt down gold and make it solidify around the claw, then I might be able to attach anything I do not particularly understand to the claw. it's a bit of a long shot, but worth trying.
So I retrieve 4 Refined wood and up to 4 normal wood. I walk to the Ashen canopy. and I mine the ore. slowly, carefully, and replacing each bit I retrieve with wood, so as not to anger the spiders or harm their tree. (Note: with piono's action having happened, I don't need as much wood or to retrieve as much gold)
with the gold retrieved, I walk over to the aurora crystals. not consuming them, but using their heat to melt the gold I have retrieved. using trigger scorpion (-25-50 SP (depending on time the gold takes to cool)) as a bowl, I push them into the crystalline claw, leaving holes for everything I wish to insert within their shape, and the gold cools, now stuck to the claw.
I then insert the soulblossoms, goneblossoms, lumipod, silkweed, and use green sap to help hold it in place. I even carve some meaningless runes into the gold for good measure.
Lastly, I grab several feather coil ropes, and uncoil them into feathers, until I have 4 feathers, which I then attach to the claw, for style points and reduced likelyhood of stabbing myself on sharp parts of the claw by accident.

So, what do I want this thing to do?
A number of things, actually.
I'd like to change the buyable skill list to be as follows, with most of the reductions being to ensure this is balanced. and also because I don't think I'll need them much. renames are because whynot.
Soul point (1): +1 DMG. Max of 3 upgrades.
dark aim (1): +2 HIT. Max of 3 upgrades.
Flash (1): +2 CNT. Max of 3 upgrades.
Threads (1): +1 Upper Range. Max of 2 upgrades
Long-distance Soldier control (2) actions preformed via trion soldier while in battle gain a slight buff.
Builder (5) costs 50 SP?. build a small structure, with a low HP count. if it doesn't get broken, sticks around after the battle and does useful things.
Intellect (3): Gain an additional GP per turn. Max of 1 upgrade.
RNG (3): Gain two randomly selected upgrades, excluding Intellect and builder.
