Gonna stick with cryo but trying to decide if I want to go with maybe electro as the pairing in some way. Still trying to figure out, but that feels kinda fun to me. 

Definitely interested in playing a darker character, I haven’t gotten to do that in a long time and I love the idea of blood magic. Might go with that route in some capacity and mixed with cryo/electric feels fun. 

As for the XP, it would make it feel a lot more video gamey, but I’m open to the idea. Would it be similar to a a PbtA game where you have a list of abilities that are accessible and you spend the XP to get them? Or is it you need a certain number of points to unlock an ability?
