@CSH(comicchat): Glad you liked it. As for the alternative you suggest, there are few underlying perks of Supernatural Condition that Intelligence Infinitum cannot provide. For instance, learning requires energy, and I would hate to stop reading something interesting just because I cannot keep my eyes open for the day. =P

Also, while Supernatural Condition of sufficient level provides untold IQ and mental capacity, there is basically no risk. Whatever the level of the Supernatural Condition, it is "natural" for the individual. On the other hand, the Intelligence Infinitum may grant (in time) IQ that is beyond any benefit, and—more importantly— this change is unnatural to the individual and is likely to cost even more sanity than learning some of the stranger truths of the universe. =)
