Reidar knew he needed a better edge in those situations, and especially in all the others he didn't end up in until now. F.L.A.I.R. would give him that edge, especially with his aim.
Besides, Lena was right, he had plenty of mana already. What he lacked was the ability to use it more efficiently.
"Alright," he said. "I'll invest in F.L.A.I.R."
Lena turned to Jake. The kid leaned against a broken storefront, still catching his breath.
"What about you, Jake? Where are you putting your points?"
Jake straightened. "I, uh, I've been putting about forty percent into S.H.I.E.L.D., fifty into A.C.U.M.E.N., and ten into F.L.A.I.R."
Reidar understood the reasoning. Jake relied on his trait, Augmentation, which burned through mana fast. The kid boosted his speed to superhuman levels to survive, which drained him of the precious resource.
