May 2018 Version Update

Why I never! One with such a meager aura is not fit to be in my presence, let alone speak to me!≺Prompt≻

Well, it took you long enough to come speak with me! I have been sending furtive glances your way for what seems like an eternity now!≺Prompt≻

You know, you really should give up on helping Jamal with his utterly pointless research.≺Prompt≻

Like everything he does, it is destined to end in abject failure.≺Prompt≻

Hm? What do you mean it is none of my business?≺Prompt≻

Do you know who you are speaking to? I am Marjory, the most brilliant magician this realm has ever seen, and the foremost expert on Trust research!≺Prompt≻

I am somewhat surprised you did not already know that. At any rate, there is a certain matter I need your help with.≺Prompt≻

Will you help her?
≺Selection Dialog≻Sure.
No thanks.≺Prompt≻

H-how dare you decline my offer... You will come to regret this, I assure you!≺Prompt≻

I am pleased to see you make such a wise decision! Hehe... I cannot wait to see that buffoon Jamal choke on his own words!≺Prompt≻

Now then! Jamal likes to equate the darkness of alter egos to the root of all evil or some such nonsense, but as with most things, he could not be more wrong.≺Prompt≻

These are just my thoughts on the issue, but...≺Prompt≻

You see, unlike Jamal, I do not believe that Trust magic is something meant to be cast outwards from its user.≺Prompt≻

No, Trust magic is designed to look within us. In other words...≺Prompt≻

The alter egos take shape due to the power contained within a kind of unseen pipeline inside of us that conveys our feelings and thoughts to them.≺Prompt≻

That got me thinking! If one could somehow boost the amount of those feelings and thoughts being sent...≺Prompt≻

It could lead to the alter ego itself becoming even more powerful!≺Prompt≻

Hm? What do you mean you don't understand? You really are quite dense, aren't you?≺Prompt≻

Well, I am stuck with you, I guess, so you will need a few things if you are to help me with my research.≺Prompt≻

First of all, you will need this special diamond.≺Prompt≻

It is capable of detecting the feelings and thoughts you direct at the alter ego you are summoning.≺Prompt≻

This diamond then stores them within its crystalline confines.≺Prompt≻

Once it has gathered a certain amount of thoughts and feelings, it will change color.≺Prompt≻

So basically, I need you to use your Trust magic until you see the diamond change color!≺Prompt≻

To help you to that end, I have also prepared something else for you.≺Prompt≻

I ordered the A.M.A.N. to provide you with a list of Records of Eminence objectives!≺Prompt≻

There are three objectives for you to complete. You simply need to complete them all to collect what is necessary!≺Prompt≻

Ah, that reminds me. No matter what, you must not lose this diamond.≺Prompt≻

It is made from an extremely rare gemstone, so I forced my mother's jewelry shop to let me have it.≺Prompt≻

It was originally a rather unusual diamond that changed color whenever it sensed a change in the surrounding temperature.≺Prompt≻

I simply used a little magic to make some key improvements and recreate something from a legend I once heard in a faraway land!≺Prompt≻

Now then, let us begin the experiment!≺Prompt≻

Ah, there you are! I was expecting you much sooner. Hurry up and hand me the diamond already.≺Prompt≻

Hmm... Very well done. You have collected just the right amount of thoughts and feelings. Now, for just a touch of magic...≺Prompt≻

I-it's a staggering success! The thoughts have been imbued into the diamond!≺Prompt≻

Listen carefully. You simply need to use this diamond as a catalyst when invoking your Trust magic.≺Prompt≻

When you do, the thoughts sent to your alter ego when it manifests will be made even more powerful.≺Prompt≻

That power will then be sent to the alter ego when you attempt to call upon it.≺Prompt≻

As a result, the alter ego itself will also become stronger!≺Prompt≻

However, there is one thing you need to be careful of.≺Prompt≻

The more of these pipelines you use to call forth the alter egos, the weaker the effect of the catalyst will become.≺Prompt≻

I can see that your feeble mind is not comprehending what I am saying. Let me see, how can I dumb this down so even you can understand it...≺Prompt≻

If your party is made up of you and five alter egos, that means that five pipelines will be used, so each alter ego will only be slightly powered up.≺Prompt≻

And if your party contains you and one other member, along with four alter egos, that means there would be four alter ego pipelines and each one will be a little stronger.≺Prompt≻

Finally, if there are five in your party along with only one alter ego, that means there is also only one alter ego pipeline, so it will be made considerably stronger.≺Prompt≻

Do you understand now? Yes? I am glad to hear it.≺Prompt≻

Take note that the catalyst will not be effective unless you yourself are of considerable strength.≺Prompt≻

You must be strong if you wish to extract the power from the catalyst.≺Prompt≻

Now get out there and experience the fruits of my research for yourself!≺Prompt≻

≺Possible Special Code: 1F≻yYour alter egos will become more powerful based on the number of members in your party when your item level is 100 or higher.
Upgrade details: Alter ego level = avg. item level + number of party members besides alter egos.≺Possible Special Code: 00≻
