A field to redo or correct formative years would be brilliant.
For better or for worse, a lot of who we are is based on what was laid down during the formative years (roughly 0-8 years old is the most crucial period, although everything leading up to adulthood is important), even though unfortunately most of the conditions and experiences then weren’t really something we had control over. Even though conditions are different now, experiences these formative years continue to shape a lot of who we are.

I think a lot of people are like me in that we know that we could be totally different people today (different gifts explored, better relationships with people, etc) if only conditions had been better during those early years. Or if not better, at least different (I doubt that the kids today having iPads and such from toddlerhood causes damage in the way that abuse or an acutely traumatic event does, but it’s certainly not natural or optimal). In fact, there appears to be a strong association between increased use of digital device and increased mental and physical issues in children: The effect of digital media on children in their formative years - PubMed
I know Trauma Release and such is helpful, but these fields would be about filling the gaps with better stuff.
@SoulStar33 suggested:
something to correct/redo formative years, perhaps multiple fields for different stages of our childhood and for different problems?
Some ideas for elements that could be used: Blueprint of Life, Plasma Brain of Youth, Ego Dissolution, Archetype of Parental Love (thanks @SoulStar33), Crucible of the Past (thanks @anon36920264) Subconscious Limits Dissolver (thanks @phlf003)
Perhaps a luck aspect built in as well, to minimise the chances while we’re redoing the formative years of anything traumatic happening that could lay down more negative stuff.
I know that Blueprint of Love has this, but fields focused specifically on it would be hugely helpful to many people.
Also, I’m wondering if the series could include fields that, rather than healing, reopen periods of development so we can take better advantage of them this time around (e.g. to fix untreated amblyopia with an eyepatch, to musically train to develop perfect pitch, to learn languages by passive exposure).
