5 Essence for the truth.
The oracle is only 3, and cannot lie. Why should they pay you?
Because 3 Essence only gets you 1 question and the Oracle's kind of a dick and would probably monkey's paw you if you ask the wrong one.

Good point, Wait a minute, Shouldn't we be more worried about the Oracle, I mean it possess nearly infinite knowledge and probably has 20 something Essence stockpiled!

The essence goes to Serac/Serac's replacement, and Andres really overestimates how much it knows. In reality, if it really told secrets like that, the Oracle would have been killed a long time ago :-\

Nah, it doesn't stockpile essence.

The Oracle should give you enough information to answer your question. If it isn't satisfactory, ask for more information. You shouldn't get charged again as long as you are just getting clarification. (At least, that's how it worked when I tried it.)

It does know all the secrets though. Same way the great library knows everything that has been written down...

Being the creator of the Oracle and payment target had a lot to do with that. ;)

If possible, KJP, I'd like to ask that you read my post before you write up the next Tick. I edited my actions quite a bit since I first made them.

You know, if you didn't edit things 10.2 times, this wouldn't be a problem...

I thought it'd be fun to share the thing that inspired me to join as Melyssa:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Melyssa was based of the Blade Queen skin for Lissandra, a champion in the League of Legends.
It gave me both the idea of a goddess of torture, emerald chains and a copper veil, which eventually resulted in Melyssa.

Honesty and alignments: Honesty is less of a Good-Evil axis trait and more of a Lawful-Chaotic one. I'm fairly sure the LE villain who never lies and never breaks a promise but still commits atrocities is quite common.
Rolepgeek: The income is fixed now, I think. I'm pretty sure the mistake was subtracting instead of adding 3E, because there's nothing else.
Quartz_Mace: That's probably true, but I didn't really weight any particular days in the last week or so, so it's probably an artefact of the time before the silence proposal passed.
Worshippers worshipping multiple gods: There's no penalty in the end, but it probably wouldn't start out with perfect efficiency. The justification for this is that not every worshipper of X god would also worship Y god whole-heartedly even if commanded or suggested to do so by X god. Thus, it's not a simple addition of incomes. Worship quality can still be full for both gods eventually, which is where the no-penalty part probably came from.
Fiat preventing mostly uninteresting grand outcomes: That's definitely considered to keep things interesting.
Stars being cheap: That was for constellations/signs. Mundane stars that actually support life (=plot-relevant) are far more expensive. I don't really ever neglect to consider plot-relevance, so it would have been expensive whether it was brought up or not.
KI'TORK and not KL'TORK: Why did it have to use an upper case I!? :P
Keshan dust ring and low-level Void cantrips: They still work. The resulting influence, however, gets cleaned up more quickly.
Aligning city to Good and limiting its power: That will probably work.
Oracle: The Oracle is not malevolent and won't attack anyone. It's a bit hard to attack when you're immobile, mostly treated as a bakery curiosity, and don't really have anything with which to attack anyway.
Inspiration for Melyssa: That looks interesting (and a bit far from the shipmap depiction).

ADDIT:
Were the Oracle so helpful, the player base would probably end up becoming very unstable.

So how much would it cost to make a Magical Girl? They have angel priest/Controller power, influence over a sphere (the same way gods do), and they'll be good at whatever they do + whatever they do will greatly benefit their family/nation.

Magical Girls: 5E (Assuming it borrows from the angel template)

The shipmap depiction was exactly as I imagined Melyssa! It was mostly the concept of BQ Lissandra that inspired me, not really the looks.

It doesn't, really. In terms of physical, magical, and chi strength they're equal, but besides that they're pretty much the same as their race. Any innate ability to fly is dependant on their race, as is their mortality, the ability to move through planes/teleport easily, maintaining a constant psy-link with their god, devoted vs aligned, shapeshifting, etc.

Magical Girls have raw power, sphere influence, career excellence, and devotion to me (but not alignment). Otherwise, they have pretty much nothing in common with angels.
