Cunning can most easily be raised by choosing the charismatic option when MC’s advisor talks to them about their high school experience (“You were obviously very charismatic. I couldn’t find one administrator or teacher who had something bad to say about you.”) This gives +10.

In Chapter 1, there’s also a +3 boost for trying to distract the gorgon on the first choice, and a +3 boost for saying that MC hates Astrid for kidnapping them but will play nice for now (without any relationship loss with Astrid). If MC has a >= 50 relationship with Thalia and Kol in Chapter 5, choosing “I think there’s value to be found in both ideas.“ also gives a +3 boost.

Cunning in general has a lot of +1 boosts for choosing the cleverer or more persuasive option in different situations e.g. lying that MC is Seraphina’s assistant in Chapter 7 if they’re researching the Massacre.

Some ways to raise willpower are to try to stay awake in the first choice, choose the clubs background when speaking to your advisor, and play as a human.

Some ways to raise intelligence are to call for help in the first choice, choose the scholar background when speaking to your advisor, go to the library in Chapter 3, and concentrate during Monsters and Rogues in Chapter 4.

1) I think you mean telekinesis—in which case, there’s no specific benefit for either.

2) Cambion MC doesn’t have a scene learning how to fly, although they can improve at flying by seeing the dragons at the street fair in Chapter 6 or in fights.

3) MCs of certain species will be able to develop psychic abilities in the sequel. Kitsune MCs can use illusion manipulation in the first book as well.

The emotion stat really acts like a true/false for the purposes of checking it in the first game—if it’s high enough Yakov and MC don’t breakup. It’s possible there will be more detailed checks in the second game that differentiate between 30, 40, 50 etc., but for the first game it’s really less than or more than 40.
