There is one things you guys didn’t pick up i think : if the Faction skills can be updated during an ordeal, Will and all the rest will gain the new silver myrtharian body (10% of the leader abilities ), this new body will directly upgrade their Body stats and they will gain the ability to store aether and fluid in their body cells. Sure Jake said they can’t use the corrupted external aether but with billions on their fluids cards it’s not the problems. Plus if they all become fluid master (because i don’t think Jake is the only one having the ability to become a fluid wielder ) they will gain an epiphany like Jake, granting them like him the ability to burn this aether stored to augment their physical, spiritual and BLOODLINES abilities... Imagine Tim using this and becoming the god of luck temporary ? Will using his charisma to charm everyone ? This will definitely change them from above average players to high level ones ! It’s definitely what they need against the monster army...
The bloodline becoming even more OP but nearing it’s maximum potential. Even tho it will be forever a good bloodline, even at high level, i’m pretty sure Jake will not be satisfied and will try to make it a grade 10. The easiest way would be to become a grandmaster fluid wielder before the end of this ordeal or to ingest another mystical alloy...
I'm kinda wondering if his new Metal Manipulation will play a part in reducing the aether cost(if not completely removing it) for the alloy shielding oracle device skill, since the material itself is already part of his DNA thanks to his soul stone consumption and bloodline evolution, then logically(to me atleast) it should be possible for him to move it on his own while with his telekinesis he can practice the atomical precision needed to wrap the alloy around his nerves, brain, etc.... not saying he'll be able to accomplish it before the end of the Ordeal, but using it as a shield and possibly weapon after fine tuning his control sounds plausible to me.
