Help needed for challenge game

[Wish]

the biggest advantage, I've found, for TC is that their wide WIDE selection of magic makes them good for forging items for SCs, beyond that they are a bit lacking.

you will want a pretender that can do the expansion mostly alone. like a manticore or dragon, with a little bit of water, earth, and astral, so they can use alt 3 to become a mini-SC. (for quickness, luck, body ethereal, and ironskin) also if you do a dragon, take at least 1 nature, such that they can cast eagle eyes then start spitting their breath weapon at enemies.
