Marjory's Thesis 
: Gives 200 points. Players earn one by speaking with Marjory after completing Way Over Capacity.
Allocating Alter Ego Points
Allocated Alter Ego Points go towards boosting the HP, MP, and base stats (STR/DEX/VIT/AGI/INT/MND/CHR) of all your summoned alter egos.
Points may also be allocated to either 'Combat' or 'Magic' skills which affects their prowess with assigned weapons and selection of magic.
As with merit points, job points, and exemplar points, you must be in your Mog House or Mog Garden to allocate Alter Ego Points, accessible from the main menu's "Status" > "Alter Ego Points" menu.
Each alter ego point subcategory has 60 levels, and the alter ego point cost per level scales every ten levels.
- Levels 1-10: 1 point per increase
- Levels 11-20: 2 points per increase
- Levels 21-30: 3 points per increase
- Levels 31-40: 4 points per increase
- Levels 41-50: 5 points per increase
- Levels 51-60: 6 points per increase
Each allocation category increases the associated stat differently:
- HP: +5 HP per level
- MP: +2 MP per level
- Base stats: +1 base stat per level
- Skills: +1 to Combat or Magic Skill. Alter Ego Skills function analagously to player skills. Magic skill increases relevant potency bonuses from the schools of magic corresponding to the school of magic.[1][2] Combat Skill grants corresponding accuracy and attack bonuses to Alter Ego physical attacks and weapon skills. In the May 2026 Version Update, Square Enix elaborated on which Combat Skills were relevant to certain Alter Ego Weapon Skills:
