Chat, here's a question. If you were to gain the ability to cast one level 1 spell with certain conditions, which of these conditions would you pick?

1. You have 99 uses over your entire life.
2. You can use your picked spell 1 time a year for the rest of your life.

You have 99 uses of your level 1 spell.
0%
You can use your level 1 spell once a year.
0%

@The_Passerby Is this really a choice? 🤔 Maybe my reading comprehension is failing but 99 uses seems strictly better by a significant margin.

Even if they're retroactive (you get the uses of previous years) and cumulative (every year you get another "charge", not just "use it, then a one year cooldown" which means you "waste" them if you don't keep using them), the second option seems clearly inferior.

Again, I could be missing something. 😅 I'm prepared to look stupid.

@Yuriel The idea is that 99 uses can get burned up really fast and there's no moderating influence. Though this one is an experiment, I tried writing longer choices but the poll has a character limit so I decided to compress it. The third option I also dropped.

So this one is more of a dud test case for using polls haha.

@The_Passerby Yeah, but still, even if you blow through them quickly, you still got 99 uses. That's value right there.

Now, if it were twice a year. That's more interesting. 4 times? aka Once a season? NOW, we got a choice. Between permanent but limited frequency access, or up-front at-will but non-renewable.

We'd still need to clarify if they work on "cooldown"; if they're "use it or lose it"; if you can "bank" them; if they're retroactive, etc.

Oh hi, I'm autistic probably. Shocker, right?

@Yuriel yeah. That's true. I will probably keep that in mind for the next iteration haha.

Though okay. What level 1 spell are you picking?

@The_Passerby Oh, I'm not going there. 😅

I'm gonna be my own responsible bartender and cut me off here, before I go down that rabbit hole and come out hours later, dehydrated. 

@Yuriel as for the the clarification. I will say you get Age to start and 1 a year. So you'd have to pick which years slot you use for the banked ones.
