Idea - Keyword: Speedbump

[Galen]

A "Speedbump" is a charm that seems to be nothing but a lesser version of a more desirable charm. These charms are prerequsites for the more desirable charm, slowing down progress towards that charm.


This keyword recognizes this fact, and halves the essence cost of the lesser charm once the greater charm is learned. This reflects the exalt's mastery of that particular branch of knowledge.

 

[Tsuranis]

Regardless of balance/actual opinion on that keyword, it doesn't really work. A given charm does not list which charms have it as a prerequisite and you should never have to look up other charms that aren't even referenced to see your charm's effect.

I'm not sure if this is a joke topic or not. I hope it is.
