SOME of us wanted some things that aren’t the same thing.
Boo hoo atp?
There’s also the likelihood that you can still change your base magic afterwards anyway, so you can still get different lost magic combinations okay. I don’t know WHY this hasn’t been brought up before, but it invalidates a good chunk of the backlash of this change since you can still get your combinations anyway.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Why would I want to obtain Flare, switch to Poison for my first, get poison lightning for my third, and switch my first magic to ice, just to get my desired combination?
Then switch back to Plasma, Explosion, or Fire when Ancients come out, so I can get Scorch, then back to ice.
Steven universe sounding ass with this im sorry 
Why would you want to suffer through trading and RNG hell only for this? This is 10x more easy to do, you’re fighting air with this dawg
ancient mutations will probably be based off the lost, not the base
I never said I like scrolls, not anymore at least, I did say it’d be better for the sake of variety. We can have this same system but with options for the mutations based on the slot they’re taking.
stock is arguing that scrolls are better than this system, aren’t they?
My argument: You’re still going to have to do some serious grinding to get A singular ancient scroll, which is very unlikely to be the magic you want. Thus, you grind for much longer or have to sell your soul to trade.
Mutations: You can get it immediately if you plan it out, and if you don’t, just change your magic with a comparatively much smaller grind.
What did I just say?
Even if we did get the scroll system, you’d be allowed to get any mutation you want, instead of being stuck with your first magic.
And then POSSBILY you could go use a hecate essence to change it, everyone’s least favorite solution to magic changing.

its just a dogshit stock opinion
Where did all the other people who thought this was a terrible idea go? Why do you guys think this is a good system? This sounds like a massive pain.
Why does this keep happening to me?
One moment, I’m with the majority of people on an opinion, then all the people who aren’t with that opinion show up, and I’m suddenly the only one who thinks it that way, and it’s just a classic Stock moment.
This is a terrible system! More terrible gameplay-wise than never giving up Lost Magics in the first place, because at least then we could have more than one element.
Compared to scrolls this is 10x better is why
I can get behind your idea of it being the magic you’re mutating being changed to something similar to that magic instead of your first magic, but currently Vetex isn’t changing it, likely for some reason we don’t know yet.
I will say this, however. With it being this way, I think it means that every base magic will have at least two tied to it, meaning we’re likely going to see some for ones we haven’t gotten quite yet (like poison, acid, glass, and wood to name a few) in the new total cast of lost magics.
I never said scrolls were good, only that they had the decency to give us a good set of choices.
Firewood magic isn’t going to solve anything for people who wanted combinations like Phoenix and Lunar, or Aether Lightning and Wave.
Nah stock is right we should be able to get magics that aren’t just tied to the base magic we chose so we don’t have fire, hotter fire, and hottest fire as our options
yea, i want gravity but i don’t think any of my bases are gonna get it unfortunately
Gravity was meant to be a wind mutation, so you’ll likely be able to get it from wind and wind based mutations
is it that hard to change your base magic for your things dawg 
I mean it’s still very much subject to change, complaining about it now isn’t exactly going to accomplish much
Technically, I skimmed over the fact that you can swap around your first magic, but that doesn’t fix variety.
Wasn’t everyone yapping about Hecate essence being too hard?
