I do believe the lodestone statement that some synths favor craft and some magic craft in terms of success rates and progress even though it has been rough going figuring out which synth favors which type in gs and bs.

But I still have little idea if the concept of risk in crafting. My risk reducing abilities seem to do nothin.
I also can't figure out what control does. Instability rates seem the same without it. Wondering if it really is to pack in more touchups on a final product, making it useless for materials.

Still all these questions after 50 levels of BS and 47 gs.
Need a big ask the devs session!
