I could be convinced that she did actually make and sell stuff, if she had spent more than 3 or 4 seasons out of 120 actually making things. That's like 2.5% to 3.3% of the time available to her. She spent more time in initiations than she did making stuff! I've seen a Verditius with less time post gauntlet spend more than 4 seasons in the lab making stuff. The House, if you prefer it to cult, does ask that its members make stuff, and teach initiates what they know.
Halancar, I have almost no issues with your concept overall, not nearly to the degree that I do with Eve's. Keep in mind, I'm mentioning multiple things and almost always the response is cherry picked to address one or two points, but not all, and the answers seem to focus on the desires of the player rather than the desires of the character. I can accept that she's known for translations, she's sold them, without seeing her spending time doing translations just a bit more than I could do with Eve. It makes a lot less sense for a Verditius, who, by and large, are known for making items. And a Verditius with high hubris will also part with them unwillingly, which suggests that Eve should be in possession of numerous items. Further, with Weak Spontaneous magic, one would think that she would be in possession of a number of items with a wide variety of effects. If you want to trade a season of translating for experience, you are, of course, welcome to do this. Of course, some things are harder to do with this particular character generation method. I stipulate to that. It really isn't the point, though. Your issue with me taking issue with Eve's lack of items fails to address some other compelling questions that I've asked. It's not just one problem in general, it's the character as a whole that is problematic. Questions and suggestions have been repeatedly and obstinately rebuffed.
