20-Aptitude II and Aptitude III continue the same Skill EXP theme with stronger bonuses. The listed witchcraft path combines two Aptitude I cores into Aptitude II, then two Aptitude II cores into Aptitude III. Some higher-tier synthesis routes can use Brimstone as an extra material.
20+Aptitude II and Aptitude III continue the same Skill EXP theme with stronger bonuses. The listed witchcraft path combines two Aptitude I cores into Aptitude II, then two Aptitude II cores into Aptitude III. The recorded Aptitude II and III recipes each use only two copies of the preceding tier; Brimstone is not an input in either of those named recipes. The older reference to other higher-tier routes is not a separate confirmed Aptitude requirement.

26+The blueprint explicitly lists Aptitude I, II and III as unlocks. Their recorded Skill EXP Gain values are 10%, 20% and 30% respectively. Tier I uses one Destruction I, one Insight I and one Vigor I; tier II uses two Aptitude I, and tier III uses two Aptitude II. Each named recipe requires this same learned blueprint. Those percentages are item effects; they do not establish additive stacking or a numeric conversion into character levels.
