Scry vs Invent
Why not scry a monster pattern? It IS cheaper...
From the sound of it it comes with two downsides:
1) we do not get to chose what it is.
2) We might actually have to find some way to reach it so we can absorb it, meaning we can't use it right away

I have been trying to avoid giving away too much OOCly, but I think that it's appropriate to describe the difference between the "Scry" and "Invent" options for [Patterns].

With "Scry" the Core is effectively using magic to semi-randomly get a pattern of the appropriate type. It's cheap and had a chance of getting significantly something worse (a normal failure on the roll) or something better (a critical success). Think of it as buying a raffle ticket with good odds and some consolation prizes.

With "Invent" the Core takes a guess at what she wants to end up with then tries to work 'backwards' from there. It's expensive in Mana as it involves lots of experimentation. It is also hard unless you have a lot of similar examples, have appropriate knowledge/skills, or are willing to stubbornly keep trying until it works. OTOH, there are rewards.
