From the tone, it seems like your patron is some obscene power boost that you already have full access to, rather than something that can grow in power over time.

You told be earlier that I could pull an ex-machina power boost at any point during the initial encounter, and that was what I did. Sorry if I made it seem like I already have full access to that power. I can assure you that I don't. That was just to keep Prisma from skewering Felix and to end the fight once I was bored of it and wanted the story to move along. This won't happen again unless another encounter where an ex-machina power boost is required and allowed happens.
