12STT Poll: Which skill do you want? (Patreon)

Hey everyone! Time for a poll.

Starting from now on, I'll be running polls like this one for the story going forward. You'll get to vote on skill choices as well as which story arcs I write first. Your votes will directly shape where the story goes, so make them count!

For now, we're kicking things off with a skill evolution poll. Once the Rift Arc wraps up (which is coming soon!), I'll put up the first story poll so you can decide what comes next.

I have the arcs planned out, all you guys will be deciding is what comes first. These skills were explained a bit in Chapter 65, so if you haven't read it yet, spoilers below! :D

[Fire Burst] (Rare)

Your standard, general upgrade that makes the boom bigger. Will give some general upgrades to the skill, and add some conceptual weight to it. Unforeseen results. Wild card.

[Ignition Step] (Rare)

A chained burst step that taps into the concept of the skill rather than affinity alone. Merges movement and fire into a movement skill that is spatial in nature despite the fire affinity, and accelerates progressively the more you "jump" in from point to point.

[Spontaneous Combustion] (Rare)

Taps deeper into the abstract. You select "points" in the physical realm and combust them outright. Not weaker than [Ignition Step], just a different purpose. Higher levels are absolutely nasty. If [Ignition Step] is going more in movement direction while retaining [Fire Burst]'s effects, [Spontaneous Combustion] is leaning more toward offensive use.

[Fire Wall] (Rare)

Creates a boundary/domain where the concept of fire is enforced on reality: anything inside can be ignited, fire skills are heavily enhanced, opposing affinities get crushed (depending on Tier). Two stated limits, though: the more abstract the skill, the less control over what counts as a violation, so it may interfere with MC's other skills inside it, and the range is severely limited unless you're an immortal or something.

Can't wait to see which path you choose!
