Subjective lies
"With all of the Key Members on our side."
Looks like it's to meet the 'important' people (or whatever they are called).
That list would probably include members of the royal family, ministers, Guild Masters of the top Guilds, Masters of Merchant and other miscellaneous Guilds, and some other influential people.
In others, it would be a long ass list.
And it's about time I joined their rank; not as a member, of course, but as the mastermind who helps them from the shadows.
In that regard, the Elixir is only a stepping stone. Given the things I can create, they'll probably throw themselves at my feet and beg me to lead them.
Hmm, but now that I think about it, that also sounds a bit like a pain in the ass.
Going against a Class 1 world to protect a Class 3 one is quite amusing, but even that loses its charm when done more than once.
After that, it becomes a chore and a heavy responsibility with practically no tangible benefits.
