I've made suggestions for Ruler in the past, and I really don't think this would push us out of the muck so to speak.

The issue with energy isn't really a matter of not enough energy from fortune seal. Instead I feel like it's the necessity of seal of fortunes that holds us back. If you use your pawns and apply fortune seal turn 1, you're chilling. You get the energy you need by the time they're upgraded. The issue arises when your starter pawns die, and/or you didn't buff them early, resulting in needing to get the engine running which costs very precious momentum mid-battle, which you can't really spare. As a result, this change would only be a tiny buff to the overall ruler playstyle, although I guess I'd take it. However, I really don't like the idea that you'd need it spirited. I mean come on, why?

As for cruel enchant, this is a fairly niche thing. It's only really useful for certain class combos. But I would gladly take the momentum buff, it would especially be good with curate setups that want to use mass (like druid). I am currently playing Druid/Ruler and it would genuinely help me a lot.

I can understand that and it does raise a good valid point. But the idea is to sacrifice a valuable spirit-slot to gain a fairly decent advantage. Also requiring you to put yourself on the risk-factor by being classified as possessed.

Overall it would (as you pointed out, it's a necessity) be nice if Ruler isn't dependent on Seal of Fortune to actually make pawns viable. But they are. Because if they don't. They'll have to stuff every enchantments onto their pawns under the sun and that would mean they spend less time contributing themselves to the fight than actually doing anything.

Which comes from the usual drawback of buff spells being usually not that impressive or amazing.

On other hand, Cruel Enchant is better being 0M 10FP. Easier to slap on an AoE buff after a fleur proc and then proceeding. Allowing them to do Attack > Attack > (Cruel Enchanted) Buff without needing a mystical 10th momentum to pull it off.
