[Just an appreciation post for a very interesting gimmick that I've slept on for ages]

I've played a lot as an Altmer in any kind of Vanilla or Race Mods playthroughs, mostly for the magic affinity and/or roleplay reasons.

But I've never actually fully understand the incredible potential of this Racial Ability in Imperious and how it makes Altmer really Swift as a race magic-wise.

I've played like 1 full playthrough (Battlemage + Auriel) and 1 mid-duration (Pure mage + Magnus/Atronach) as an Imperious-Altmer but I'm not a fan of the unlockable major/minor skills. So I didn't experiment much in the past and focused more on the base passive skills such as Elven Supremacy (+ Auriel Devotee Skill) and ShimmeringThreads.

I've also always believed in the supremacy of Bretons for being extremely versatile and ace of everything but really, now that I'm taking my time to experiment with this ability, I'm loving it so much.

No Magicka cost, no cast time, versatile and exchangeable conditions...

Pairs along with Ocato's various abilities (Preparation, Recital) and Magnus Devotee ability and it seems that excels the more spells Mods you add.

Unlock it seems a pain, catching 20 butterflies is not an easy task but it's also not impossible. You just have to know the right places.

Similar to [Stone of Galen] for the Breton, where i start the playthrough doing the pilgrimage of all the SStones before starting the real shish.

Now I'm really curious how Contingency works with different advanced Magic Perk Trees and higher level spells!

What about you guys? Do you know a gimmick that you used to sleep on but now you love it?

Toby stated that "Chapter 6 is easier to make than previous chapters"

My guess is that we are going to explore all the previous worlds we have visited, plus few new areas.

My two parallel guess are:

[Pure Crystal = Lens of Truth]

We are finally be able to obtain the full Shadow Crystal and we are going to use it as a sort of Lens of Truth or Mirror of Parallel Reality. We will be able to use it on the Chapter Selection Menu, revisiting the Chapters and changing Fate.

OR

[Revisiting Previous Dark Worlds]

We will be able to open Dark Fountains at command to search for clues about who is the Roaring Knight or searching for the true final piece of the Shadow Crystal in case Seam reveal itself to be a traitor or a liar.

I'm sure the date of Chapter 6 is more near than we think. And Chapter 7 will be BEYOND our imagination and their reality.
