Not really mastery. Being able to succeed once proves a method is feasible, although it may just be by chance. For example, if you sometimes succeed on making an omelette, then you've got an imperfect idea for making an omelette. Being able to succeed 100% of the time means you've understood the underlying concepts and have the correct model. In the omelette case, that would be equivalent to always being able to make an omelette each time you start breaking an egg. It normally shouldn't fail unless something goes terribly wrong. Mastery is when you succeed 100% of the time, and also improve the efficiency and results. In the omelette case, it would be about improving the taste over the basic omelette, making more variations, getting the consistency exactly right, and so on.

The demon doll is only powerful enough to seal the greed box as long as the greed box hasn't already initiated a transaction. They explicitly said that once the greed box has been activated, it can't be sealed again by the demon doll until the greed box has killed its victim and deactivated.

He doesn't swing that way. In case you didn't get it, the joke is that people who came here hoping to read a degenerate brother/sister horni relationship can just skip this novel.

Indeed. Trump can just directly announce that he's an atheist and the Christians will still consider him their messiah. He breaks every single law and says out loud that he wants to completely overwrite the constutution, and the people that worship the constitution as a holy book will say he's justified in doing that. He tells people that he's going to deport every single immigrant he can get his hands on, and yet the immigrants who are most likely to get deported will vote for him. He tells us that he's going to tear down all government healthcare, and yet the people who rely on the ACA for staying alive will think that he's acting for them . Once you've been radicalized by propaganda, no amount of being shown the truth will help you break free of the programming.

Lol, so the "Lie" is that the Samuel ceremony is in 7 days, when it's actually tomorrow at the time of their secret meeting. So he's going to set up some kind of system so that everyone at the ceremony can hear the words of the bishop, who won't realize his words are being broadcast.

His greatest fear, the reason he wants to get away from Ivyst, is because he still feels that the plot will go according to the book and the protagonists will kill everyone working under Ivyst. That's why, if he can fake his death in public, although he can't get away from Ivyst, he can continue to work for her in secret, and no one will know he exists. So the first "bird" is that they can resolve the grudge of him assassinating the heir of Mogsla. The second "bird" is that he doesn't have to worry as much about being targeted by the protagonist anymore, as they won't know he exists.

I'm curious where Ivyst got her powers from, if she's not aligned to any current god and she created her own powers 🤔
