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, Iâm with the majority of people on an opinion, then all the people who arenât with that opinion show up, and Iâm suddenly the only one who thinks it that way, and itâs 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 youâre mutating being changed to something similar to that magic instead of your first magic, but currently Vetex isnât changing it, likely for some reason we donât 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 weâre likely going to see some for ones we havenât 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 isnât 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 arenât just tied to the base magic we chose so we donât have fire, hotter fire, and hottest fire as our options
yea, i want gravity but i donât think any of my bases are gonna get it unfortunately
Gravity was meant to be a wind mutation, so youâll 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 itâs still very much subject to change, complaining about it now isnât exactly going to accomplish much
Technically, I skimmed over the fact that you can swap around your first magic, but that doesnât fix variety.
Wasnât everyone yapping about Hecate essence being too hard?
Hold on is there anything stopping us from just swapping our base magic after getting a mutation to get a different set of mutations
Do you want to do that though?
There wasnât anything for that which is what I pointed out

No but itâs still an option
unfortunately none of my bases are wind
Itâs likely going to take as much effort to get hecate shards anyway so you might as well suck it up atp
Besides, this is all still subject to change anyway. I know some people donât like it and want it to change, and itâs likely it will, but if it wonât then youâll have to do it anyways, so you might as well get used to it before then.
The process is convoluted, and the whole Hecate essence thing is unnecessary, and might even be patched out.
Mutations are a great concept for world building and story; less so for gameplay
Itâs not mutation thatâs the issue, itâs the choice to make it so that some things canât be used with mutation.
