Ah, so you’d like to develop your Paralogos’ character? [Please note, only Paralogos can complete Wisdom Prompts.] Let’s find out a bit more about them…
In these Tasks you’ll gain Wisdom in your Paralogos’ endeavors to learn more about themselves and their surroundings.
You’ll explore their bond with the world around them, and perhaps their caretaker as well.
The levels are as follows: 0 - Unaware, 1 - Preschooler, 2 - Student, 3 - Scholar, 4 - Professor, 5 - Polymath, and 6 - Omniscient.
Wisdom levels are not directly connected to Magic Levels but they are something that shows up on your Paralogos’ Masterlist entry.
It also influences magical abilities as described in Chapter 8 more thoroughly.
When a Paralogos is traded or sold, you’ll have the choice whether or not to wipe their Wisdom slate clean as well, unless the new caretaker wants to keep their story intact.
You’ll help develop the world of Lingua through your Paralogos’ actions and decisions.
As we develop this system, there will be more Tasks to choose from- and overall, you’ll be able to be more flexible in choosing which Tasks to complete.
Right now, there are 6 Tasks, but more will be revealed. Until then, you’ll need to complete all 6 of these basic Tasks to max out your Paralogos’ Wisdom.
Each completed task raises the Paralogos' level by 1.
There is no official order, though you may only complete each task once for each Paralogos.
