On a new colony the Noble Wimp quest is usually the first way to get access to psycasting by saving the noble and then getting the bestowing ceremony. However, I noticed that the noble you temporarily get access to comes with enough unspent points to unlock new psycasts and even use them a few times before loading them into the shuttle and sending them away.

Some of the better ways to exploit this I've found include:

1. Plant Timeskip - Use it to instantly grow a 5x5 plot of your plants to maturity. I was able to use this to get a bunch of cotton by planting it and having the noble grow it all before getting in the shuttle. Not sure if this would work on devilstrand.

2. Rock Construct - Lets you turn stone chunks into tireless haulers at the cost of adding permanent heat onto the caster. Had the noble cast this three time before they left and the rock constructs stuck around still working with no problems. I think this is my favorite use for the noble so far.

Any other early psycasts that would be useful to get from our fleeing noble?
