I wish it attacked the hive. If it did, it would be a delight beyond delight. But, it also has one critical thing that made it better when I finally stopped championing something I had to keep telling myself I wouldn't regret
It had three more votes.

Everything else is say is just rehashing what Greymare said above.

But. As I said I would. Prisoner Chomping has eclipsed Cannibalism is Cringe, so I have removed my vote from Devouring the Sky.

Yeah I'd rather keep summoning Mansus creatures in barn than have brave ponies die in the assault because strongest fighter they have can't be bothered to show.

You say this as though it's something we've actively been doing, when in reality the moment that it became suspicious to do so we dropped it like a hot potato, even spending Baldomare's AP on finding somewhere that we could use immediately for DoA's summoning instead of just eating the possible suspicion.

And now we don't need to care about suspicion as Bureau that is supposed to investigate such things is under our command. Sure you can argue that not everyone is converted , but regardless all reports are going on Velvet table and if anyone decide to investigate Velvet directly we know by now that such talented investigators are getting speedy promotion into inner circle like Reproach.

Literally why would the Bureau be investigating "oh I found weird stuff happening in a barn". They do not investigate every single suspicious thing in Equestria, normal detectives and law enforcement still exist. The problem with summoning stuff in the barn has never been about Bureau suspicion.

Regular police will need order to investigate Velvet's property. Good luck getting permission for this. And private detectives would not work unless someone is paying them for it.

So eating someone's body is cringe, but eating someone's soul is perfectly fine?

Eat someone's body- Prevent a full powered Name from becoming an enemy, gain a full powered Name as a Friend, get a marginal Sacrament unlock
Eat someone's brain: Spend a Velvet AP and make a CD 100 Lantern roll for the privilege of saving 1 Baldomare AP and getting a slightly different flavor of sacrament than was on offer for basically free.

No, but if you are in the business of eating minds and bodies, you should eat the mind jam-packed with useful knowledge rather than lose all that information by eating the body holding it, and instead eat a body that doesn't hold much information useful to you.
