Cool, I agree. That's one more datapoint. And I've had another confirmation in private. So I think I'm not off my rocker thinking of these things this way. It's not at all equivalent to raise a keyword, and to raise all the abilities in a keyword the same amount. Which says to me that this is an important consideration in the value of increasing keywords using the saga system and other advanced experience methods.
