Ok So I won the trial. Still wasn't easy.
Final tallies on stats just after the Trial of the Mind:
Appeal 6, Knowledge 71, Imagination 5, Prowess 14, Spell power 61.
I did buy the improved Wand just after getting the extra money from the MCs family.
I saw no shapechange spell, didnt need it to win.
Next ill concentrate on Prowess and Spellpower, just keeping my knowledge from atrophy. Btw i noticed atrophy rates seem way down now.
Thats great.
Ok so finished all content again.
Final tally on stats:
Appeal 6, Knowledge 71, Imagination 5, Prowess 75, Spell power 75.
Atrophy on my Knowledge became a real problem after the Trail of the Mind, but I at least managed to keep it where I had it.
Didnt learn Shapechange spell, did learn Teleportation and Levitation.
I think i finished the Violet path, she is best gurl.
I deliberately avoided Elisabeths path, but I did see her struggling with the rival guy (Percival?)
Again didnt see any other girls that seemed like Love Interests.
I had the Lucky Clover, the Dueling Gloves and the Superior Wand. Didn't worry about the rest as they relate to stats Im either avoiding or just want to keep at the same level.
I enjoyed this play through a lot more.
