So, I have been watching someone twitch-stream speed runs for Chrono Trigger. Amazing stuff. Apparently, a player can manipulate RNG in that game to twink party character damage output since the game seeds RNG at the beginning via the length of time one waits before advancing beyond the title screen, and then the game recalculates RNG via specific triggers to conserve resources. So, this guy I watch sometimes resets the game just to re-seed RNG and "keep" it when and until he "screws up." He literally keeps a journal of specific damage numbers for each attack and follows an uber-precise playthrough where timing is planned to achieve an insane game progress speed. Once he departs from those known damage numbers, he knows that he has messed up and has "lost" RNG.

I would not be surprised if something similar is going on on Nasomi where skillup RNG is seeded by something like position info and skill levels and then drops off to zero after a certain amount of time or skillup procs. I have never gone 23 tries on a -4 synth without a skillup. wtf

I have noticed here no matter what level you are here on Nasomi, that once you get around 3 levels from a particular crafts cap; the skill ups die off significantly.
