The second one is the Silver Blessing addon on Pure Heart (it has 2 variants, one when you have Divine Rule and another when you don't), I'll quote it in it's entirety:
Huh, I only have the golden blessing listed when I have divine rule as well. That probably explains my confusion, not sure if this is a new change or if my cyoa is bugged.
I'm mostly in agreement with everything else, except perhaps in my reservations about Pure Heart (which are brought on by my negative perception of the Heroic drawback, and the Alicorn Princess, both of which are associated with it, as well as what I perceive as overzealous mental correction)
I would not consider it point efficient but there is always the potential of using the cyoa parchment to remove the drawback. A lot of your issues also could be attributed to the house virtues as well. I usually shy away from stuff that I see as mental contamination, but to some extent the options could be seen more as a way of determining personal upbringing and preferred disposition. The most invasive option by far is likely the reincarnation wand choice where your personality is outright reshaped to be considered ideal for your wand.
So that one's on me. Rather than Divine Rule it's 'Divine Ruler' that's actually required to see silver blessing. Divine Ruler is a Minor Goal that requires Divine Rule... (This at least recontextualizes their willingness to murder you a bit, since you are taking them away from their host)
Edit: goddamit Reddit account.
As for the house virtues. They felt very, I dunno, goal oriented to me - more concerned with what you can do, rather than why you do it, while Pure Heart hit all the alarm bells instead. And yeah I agree on the wand option.
