With any decision I make regarding game mechanics, I want to ensure there is lore that supports this - Going to the confessional in the church with the High Priestess is what is required to upgrade and change your abilities. This is why:
In this world, confessionals are sacred encounters between the High Priestess and the patron. Within this intimate space, the Priestess undertakes the duty of cleansing the patron of their impurities. However, with the protagonist, the ritual unfolds in an unusual manner. While it indeed purifies them, it also unveils a unique phenomenon, in which knowledge from Hedone herself washes over the Protagonist regarding how the elements and magic flow through the world.
This heightened connection enables the protagonist to understand the Maidens' powers more deeply and wield them more effectively. For a reason unknown to anyone, this appears to have happened due to the intimate interaction with the devout followers and believers of Hedone. It's as if the confession becomes a conduit for a deeper communion with the divine.
Through this divine connection, the protagonist gains insight into their own abilities and unlocks new powers, ultimately strengthening their role in the journey to restore balance to the realm of Hedonia.
