"Third Origin > Second Origin. Both kinda cheesy and convenient but I like the concept of TO way more than I ever did for SO"

Only if the consequences stick or require some serious effort to cancel or mitigate. If it's too easy to just re-learn magic or heal the condition, I'll end up liking SO more, since that only increased the magic-capacity the mages have available, which is a far lesser buff than giving them such a massive boost that they can be a danger to a Spriggan all of a sudden.

In the end SO was after all only the equivalent of a three-month training session and nothing more.
