Is there any benefit to the fate option on Supplication besides increasing devotion? Honestly, the EPA on the Supplication options isn't horrid (and the Zee Ztories are rather needful for me), so I cannot quite understand the rationale for it. It seems like 10 Fate for that option is rather too much Fate.

I mean... if you spend 10 Fate for a 20 action refresh and apply those actions on Supplication to gain Devotion and Zee Ztories (or whichever), you get above 10 Devotion (2 actions short of 11 Devotion) and 160 Zee Ztories as well. So, to make the 10 Fate Supplication option better than a 10 Fate refresh ... your EPA would need to be what ... 40?

Even the Ray-Cinder 50 Fate option has also a worthwhile bonus, so I really do question this.
