I still think that the climb to Radiant should be halved. It's 100 spent faith and 50 spendable faith.
Ways to Gather Faith Points-
Prayer= +3 faith.
Blessing= +5 faith.
Festival (Once every 3 Ic years)= +1 per attendance. The amount of magi who show up for the festival.

Ways to spend Faith Points-
Sanctify= -5 Faith.
Teach Holy Magic (at Radiant only)= -3 faith.
Baptize= -5 faith.
Incense= -5 faith. (Unsure if this is intended or not)
Purchasing Faith Upgrades/Abilities= I don't think that this actually counts. Or at least, it most definitely did not count for my character as I was grinding back then.

These are the only ways to obtain faith points / spend faith points. Losing a faith point every single five days, or In-Game year. With more and more people assigned to the faith/joining the faith, this makes gathering Faith points incredibly difficult. While we have the ability to transfer faith points into a person, that still does not level out the amount of faith that they have to spend in order to start saving for the purchase alone.

While Festival has the opportunity to provide a lot of Faith points, this does not negate the fact that it costs 100 spent Faith points with so few options to spend faith. Nor does it help the amount of spendable faith points for the purcase.

Radiant allows you the following abilities:
Shoulder Burden: -10 faith to use.
Restore Vigor: -50 faith to use.
Anoint Champion: -30 faith to use, yet this ability does not work. So there in a pointless ability with no purpose/intentions.
Teach Holy Magic: -3 faith.

While I understand the amount of faith per ability, one of them doesn't even work. So there's no point in even having it in game. Shoulder Burden is a -10 PERM that cannot EVER be fixed or treated. Restory Vigor only lasts an IC year, but again I understand why it's 50 faith points.

All of this said. The amount of time spent grinding, upon grinding, upon grinding, upon grinding, only to achieve such minimal faith points every IC year would STILL make the grind toward Radiant EXTREMELY difficult and time consuming if it were to be halved.

Current Costs-
100 SPENT faith.
50 SPENDABLE faith.

Suggested Costs-
50 SPENT faith.
25 SPENDABLE faith.

This is still going to be a HUGE grind considering the amount of faith one can get from the base abilities, as well as taking into consideration the amount of time spent between the two major faith gathering abilities. Those being Blessing, which is a 1 IC year wait, and Festival which is a 3 IC year wait. I understand that it's designed in a way to make people actually rp and put in the effort. But halving the price is absolutely going to STILL make people grind. Especially if there is more than just one person active in their character's specifically aligned faith.

I'm not asking to make it ungodly easy for everyone to just obtain it. I'm only suggesting that it be lessoned in expectation because as it stands, the grind is just way too much for what little output to reward ratio there is. Don't get me wrong, I love doing Faith rp. I only wish for it to be a little bit more accessible for per the later upgrades.

50 spent faith and 25 spendable faith is a massive achievement in the faith, any faith.
