Speaking of lessons, being able to unlock more of those would be a good endgame investment. Being able to put essence (perhaps with an upper limit) into learning those would be welcome.
Generally, I'm assuming people probably just want more essence sinks which actually contribute to something. Being able to turn essence into other things is nice.
Going back to the question of what perks to add to post demigod level, perhaps extra weight points? Doesn't have to necessarily be every level. But that seems like a fairly easy add that isn’t a straight power buff, rather adds options. So long as it’s balanced low enough that you still can’t just outright buy every demi power it won’t make ascendant weight nor the weight artie obsolete.
One time I put a whole stainless steel pan in the oven to cook chicken or something after searing it. When it was done I very carefully took it out with potholders and set it on the stovetop... then immediately forgot it had just been in the oven and grabbed the handle with a bare hand.
This isn’t meant to be an appeal to worse outcomes, just further evidence that humans are dumb and cookware can be evil sometimes.
I just want to rave for the think command. Not sure who can even see it but I am having so much fun, it makes my RP feel all the more real and everyone should totally make use of it. Best idea ever.
