Summary

Analysis

  • Word of Inspiration can be used to great effect when combined with a persona weapon with the Kill-focused trait.
    • Since this trait counts it as a "kill" when the bonded pawn slaughters an animal with the weapon equipped and held, rapidly-breeding animals such as geese, chickens, and ducks (which lay an egg every 1.6, 2.0, and 3.5 days, respectively) can be turned directly into inspirations by hatching the eggs, then slaughtering the chicks, at a ratio of 4 animal slaughters per inspiration.
    • This means that that, after a warm-up period while the first eggs incubate, each female goose (provided they have a male to fertilize the eggs) is worth 0.15625 inspirations per day.
