We've been developing tonight, here's what we've come up with:


Oh wait.

[Jackard]

What, then, are numen points good for?

Nearly your entire playerbase is full change so the only real use of numen is the 40np power for trad raiders.

Light of the Ancestors, 3NP: Light effect on your character determined in strength by the perception + exploration of your ancestors. The effect lasts six ingame hours.
A Prayer for Bread, 5NP: You get a loaf of bread, quality determined by the cooking skill and the perception values of your ancestors.
Prayer of a Lost Child, 10NP: You get a local map of the area you are in, filled in to a degree corresponding the the perception/exploration values of the ancestors.

These might be used more often by regular players if their cost was reconsidered. Especially now that bread gives no FEP.

A Prayer to Loftar, 25NP: You get one loaf of Lembas bread.

Yeah most of this seems kinda useless, non-combat characters can only create a torch, some bread or a map. What's worse, the components of these objects are often easier to get than the objects required by the ancestors, all in all it's pretty wimpy, here's a few ideas for other things to spend numen on:

Harvest Song: All crops around you grow faster and gain +5 QL.

Beast Song: Animals will not attack you unless you attack them first.

Deep Song: Allows you to fish without needing to find a fishing spot, increases fish QL based on your change/tradition slider.
